4 Home Remedies For Yeast Infection

Yeast infection can appear in any part of the body, although it usually appears around the nails, on the feet, and in hot, humid areas , such as the armpits.

Discover here four excellent natural remedies to eliminate yeast infections and prevent their recurrence.

It is, in fact, possible to put an end to these inconveniences in a natural way and without any side effects. All you need to do is test our remedies and be patient.

Eliminate yeast infection: tea tree

One of the most widely used oils is tea tree essential oil (Melaleuca alternifolia). It is renowned for its antiseptic, antiviral and antifungal properties, and is effective in combating skin problems.

It is a powerful product that must be used with caution, because it can cause irritation on the mucous membranes (genital area, mouth, eyes, etc.).

Apply a drop directly to the affected area if it is a small area. On the other hand, if it is a delicate and / or large area, mix this oil with coconut oil. The latter is not irritating and also has antifungal properties.

This oil is also effective in  healing wounds, treating lice, as an insecticide, as a mosquito repellent and household cleaner. 

Eliminate yeast infection: garlic

This virtuous food is an effective remedy for treating many ailments very quickly. It is also a food that we all have at home.

We have already, on other occasions, enumerated the multiple properties of garlic. Roughly speaking, garlic:

• prevents cardiovascular disease
• improves circulation
• increases the immune system
• purifies the body

Thanks to its allicin content, it is effective in eliminating fungal infections. Apply garlic directly to the affected area.

If the area is small, apply half a garlic clove directly and secure it with a sticking plaster. When the garlic no longer emits an odor, repeat the operation.

If the area is larger, prepare the following natural remedy. 

• Crush five cloves of garlic.
• Cover them with good quality olive oil.
• Leave to macerate for a week.
• Filter the preparation that you will then apply twice a day to the affected area.

Garlic remedies can also be found in herbal stores, usually in capsule form. These capsules are ideal for people who are unable to consume raw.

Consuming raw garlic is also a way to fight against yeast infection from the inside.

Eliminate yeast infection: apple vinegar

Another food we are used to talking about a lot is apple cider vinegar. It has, in fact, many uses.

Apple vinegar is effective as a  shampoo, conditioner, household cleanser, purifier, metabolism booster and slimming product, among others.

Opt for an unpasteurized apple vinegar, so that its ferments are alive. 

As an antifungal treatment, apply apple cider vinegar to the affected area using a cotton ball. Leave to air dry.

Vinegar is a great remedy for all types of skin problems because its acidic pH balances the natural pH of the skin.

Eliminate fungal infections: ginger

Ginger is a precious gift for health that comes from the Orient. This spice is well known for the following benefits:  it is an anti-inflammatory, it improves circulation and provides heat.

It can be consumed or applied topically, ie directly to the skin.

You can get ginger essential oil and even mix it with tea tree essential oil.
