Yeast Infection Cures

Here are the best natural home remedies for yeast infections.


  1. Vinegar
    1. Drink 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar in water three times a day until the infection clears.
    2. Douche with a dilute vinegar solution two times a day until the infection is gone.
  2. Probiotics
    1. Take acidophilus tablets which are readily available at any pharmacy.
    2. Use plain yogurt with live active cultures on the site of infection.  For vaginal yeast infections, dip a tampon into the yogurt and insert the tampon for about half an hour.
    3. Eat plenty of yogurt with live active cultures or kefir.
  3. Pure unsweetened cranberry juice
  4. Make boric acid suppositories with boric acid solution and gel caps from your local pharmacy.  This cure is also effective for bacterial vaginosis.  Insert one suppository every night for two weeks.
  5. Garlic
    1. Eat lots of garlic.
    2. If you're adventurous, try inserting a clove of garlic for about 30 minutes once a day until the infection clears.  You can also just rub garlic on other infected areas.
  6. Vitamin B3, also known as Niacinamide is toxic to yeast!  Take 100 to 500 mg each day until the infection subsides.  You can also apply niacinamide topically to rash or itchy areas.
