Initially, like most people, I too opted for the conventional method of yeast infection treatment instead of natural cures. It was only after a second relapse that it occurred to me that this method might not be effective after all.

Antibiotics and over the counter medications simply offer symptomatic relief without addressing the root cause of the infection. Therefore, most women who resort to this type of treatment method suffer from the problem intermittently for long periods of time.

My grandmother swears by home remedies and in general all her simple home remedies are effective. Backed by wisdom and years of experience, she has ideas to cure a number of ailments. She gave me some great tips to get rid of a yeast infection fast. These tips provide long-lasting relief with no chance of re-infection.

In this article I am going to share some of my grandmother’s simple remedies to cure yeast infection.

1) Yogurt – When used for vaginal Candida infection, it can be applied directly to the vulva area. It can also be used as a suppository by dipping a tampon in yogurt and inserting it into the vagina.

2) Boric Acid – can be used as a suppository and inserted into the vagina

3) Vinegar mixed with water: can be used as a douche. Use apple cider vinegar to treat yeast infection and be sure to dilute it with enough water.

4) Potassium Sorbate – It is another natural cure used in the treatment of yeast infection. Take advantage of this by dissolving it in water, dipping a tampon into the solution, and use it for vaginal insertion.

These simple tips to get rid of a yeast infection worked for me and I sincerely hope you find them helpful too.
