In this article I'd like to give you some ideas of natural remedy options for a yeast infection. Whether in your kitchen cupboard, or an inexpensive product from the grocery store, each natural remedy can give you surprisingly fast relief from a yeast infection.

The first and probably most popular natural remedy is good old yoghurt. You might even hear it recommended by medical practitioners, and with good reason. Yoghurt contains natural bacteria -Lactobacillus acidophilus - which is also found in healthy vaginas. This friendly bacterium kills the yeast infection by releasing hydrogen peroxide and starving the yeast of oxygen.

Secondly, take a look at garlic. Garlic is a powerful natural antifungal with many beneficial properties (if you can handle the smell!); applied directly to the problem area it can work wonders overnight. Be careful though, make sure that you test the garlic on a small patch of skin to ensure that your skin is not unusually sensitive.

My final natural remedy for a yeast infection is cranberry juice, used in treating urinary tract infections and also with the amazing ability to reduce the PH balance of your urine. Cranberry juice, though soothing, is best used in combination with other yeast infection treatments.

I hope that this brief look at natural remedies for a yeast infection has gone at least some way to introducing you to the treatment options that are available. There are many others available, and I hope that you find the remedy that is right for you. Good luck in your search for a natural remedy (or otherwise) for your irritating yeast infection.
