In my personal experience, I do have one remedy that is so effective, its helps you kill the infection in a relatively short period of time but you have to commit to the method till the end to obtain the optimized result, but first, let me tell you about a few effective home remedies for yeast infections:
Garlic: It can help in killing the bacteria which is harmful for the body. Applying it directly or consuming it through the mouth may have similar results. It should only be applied externally; internal usage is not recommended or even advised as it may be harmful.
Eating garlic on a daily basis together with the external application of garlic (insert chopped garlic into a cheesecloth and put this into the vagina for about 120 minutes). The characteristics of garlic make it an effective probiotic, antiseptic agent, acting against bacteria and fungi, which brings Candida back down to limited numbers and assists beneficial bacteria in getting back into action.
It is important to remember that sugar provides sustenance for the yeast and which will help it to grow more. So along with eliminating sweets from your diet you need to start eliminating foods that have high amounts of sugar in them. So avoid soda drinks (even diet ones) as well as alcohol and instead start drinking lots more water.
Yogurt contains a particular bacteria named Lactobacillus acidophilus, which is considered as a friendly bacteria for your body. The Lactobacilli supplied by yogurt interact with sugar, which actually feeds on Candida albicans, and promotes its growth. Under the influence of the bacteria, sugar undergoes fermentation and gets converted into lactic acid, which in the process produces hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide thus formed creates an unfavorable environment for the growth of Candida fungus. Eat yogurt on a daily basis. It contains acidophilus and live bacterial cultures which regulate the levels of Candida albicans inside the vagina. Another option is to vaginally insert yogurt. Dip a tampon in non-sweetened, live culture yogurt and insert the yogurt-saturated tampon inside the vagina. Leave the tampon inside the vagina for 30 to 40 minutes twice daily. Continue this treatment until itchiness and discharge symptoms subside. By inserting yogurt into the vagina, live bacterial cultures from the yogurt attach to the vaginal wall lining and reduce the overgrowth of Candida albicans.
The essential oil tea tree oil, diluted and applied topically to the vaginal area, has shown some potential as a natural home remedy for yeast infection. A compound called terpinen-4-ol in tea tree oil appears to be responsible.
