What are some good homemade remedies for a yeast infection?

Home remedies for vaginal yeast infections include yogurt, probiotics, boric acid and tea tree oils, according to Everyday Health. The effectiveness of most home remedies for yeast infections has not been confirmed by clinical research.

Consuming yogurt or probiotics can help restore the bacterial balance of the vagina, explains Everyday Health. However, yogurt or probiotics should not be put inside the vagina. Research has shown that boric acid suppositories are very effective against some types of yeast infections. Diluted tea tree oils can be applied in the vagina to treat yeast infections. Patients should discuss using home remedies for yeast infections with their doctors because yeast infections can be mistaken for other, more serious vaginal infections.
