How to treat yeast infection

There are several ways of treating yeast infection. Those who have yeast infection, which may be contracted by both women and men (but more commonly in women), have been seeking natural remedies as not all prescription drugs work well for many people. Some yeast infection symptoms recur after the application of certain treatments.
Natural remedies include the use of apple cider vinegar. Put one cup of vinegar to a warm bath water in a tub, and then soak in the vinegar-laced water for about 20 minutes. Another way is by applying the vinegar directly to the vagina using a cotton ball. To avoid feeling pain, mix the vinegar with a little garlic. Raw garlic juice, olive oils and grape fruit seed extract and water itself may be applied as an alternative.
Tea tree oil is also good in treating the infection. Place a few drops of the oil in a tampon. Insert it in the vagina for twenty minutes twice a day. The tampon may also be left inside the vagina overnight.
Another natural cure is sugar-free yogurt. Place some yogurt into the vagina twice a day using a tampon or whatever method is more comfortable for you. You may spread the yogurt also at the vulva for immediate relief.
You may also use honey by letting it sit for about 20 minutes but you need to take a warm bath and rinse off the honey. Rinse the vagina well as the sugar in the honey will start feeding the yeast.
