There are several different home remedies for yeast infections that you can employ to help mitigate and prevent yeast infections.
The home remedies we will discuss on this page include using diluted vinegar, wearing white cotton underwear, contraceptive use, avoiding contact with someone who has a fungal skin infection, keeping your skin dry, using moisture wicking fabrics, and do not be overweight.
- Using diluted vinegar as a douche is an excellent way to acidify the vagina and make it less conducive to the growth of yeast. Just make sure you do not exceed a concentration over 1% vinegar. Strong concentrations of vinegar can cause irritation or chemical burns to occur. You can learn more about using apple cider vinegar here: Apple Cider Vinegar for Yeast Infection.
- Wearing white cotton underwear is a great way to keep the vaginal area dry as cotton breaths. In addition to wearing cotton underwear, you can also choose to wear loose fitting pants and skirts.
- Some contraceptive creams will kill Lactobacillus acidophilus, a bacteria that will help keep yeast in check. Oral contraceptives and spermicides can alter the vaginal pH in a way that makes the vaginal pH more conducive to the growth of yeast. Try using a condom or a diaphragm.
- Do not make contact with someone who has a fungal infection. To ensure you do not contract fungus from your environment, wear something on your feet when you are in bathrooms, locker rooms, and spas, and other similar areas.
- To prevent vaginal yeast infections, keep your vaginal area dry and free from moisture. To do this make sure you change out of wet swimsuits or workout clothes as quickly as possible. You can also use a blow dryer when you get out of the shower to quickly dry your vaginal area.
- Use socks with fabrics that keep moisture off of your feet to prevent athlete’s foot. Such fabrics that take moisture away from the skin include acrylic, nylon, CoolMax, and Polartec.
- If you are very overweight you have many more folds of skin that can trap moisture and become places where fungus can grow. If you are overweight, make sure you do what you can to lose weight like eating healthy foods and choosing to exercise regularly.

According to a research paper published in Clinical Microbiology Reviews [12.1 (1999): 80-96], Candida species are quite ubiquitous organisms. Candida are most frequently present in the mouth; and, live in 31% to 55% of healthy people. The species that causes approximately 70% to 80% of all Candida infections is C. albicans.
The Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology [2011 Jul;46(7):496] reports there appears to be a correlation between intestinal Candida infections and vaginal yeast infections. And, this provides a clue, as to why yeast infections in general, can reoccur.
This study states, in 148 cases of vaginal candida infections, 33.1% of the women were infected in both the intestines and vaginal area. The recurrence rate of yeast infections, in women with simultaneous intestinal infection, was significantly higher than for women who did not have an intestinal infection. This study concluded that vaginal yeast infections are highly associated with simultaneous intestinal Candida infection.
As research appears to indicate, systemic Candida infections can and do happen. A more systemic Candida infection may primarily get a foothold in the intestines; and cause a wide array of problems. If your yeast infections keep happening, a systemic Candida problem may be why.
One woman who suffered from a systemic Candida infection, for about 12 years, was Linda Allen. The systemic Candida infection that attacked Linda caused a wide range of health problems in addition to yeast infections. Some of these problems, Linda describes in her own words in the following quote:
To be honest, it was hard to pinpoint exactly what was wrong: I wasn’t really sick, but I wasn’t really well either. I had listlessness, fatigue, brain fog, stomach ailments, unexplained rashes, skin infections, and so on. It seemed like every day brought a new challenge.
My energy was sapped and I felt exhausted, which affected my grades and put a big dent in my social life.
Linda Allen’s symptoms included an embarrassing vaginal discharge, severe itching, and burning sensations. Her infections were difficult to deal with, and Linda’s health problems cost her financially as well. Linda states these infections of Candida can become excruciating when they happen as frequently as a menstrual period.
Yet, Linda spent a great deal of time in research; and even questioned health professionals who were kind enough to share some time with her. Linda even tried an array of purported "cures." Although it took a while, eventually, Linda put together a natural treatment plan she hoped would solve her Candida situation.
After spending about a year refining her new approach, Linda tried her system on herself. It worked amazingly well. Linda even returned to a few medical doctors to get tested for the presence of infections. These tests revealed all indicators of infection had vanished! Linda was indeed well again, after such a long, difficult journey.
Linda has since published a book detailing how to copy her success. She also includes a 12 hour yeast infection cure that can get rid of a superficial (such as a genital yeast infection or oral thrush) yeast infection in about 12 hours.
Linda’s publisher protects those who get her book with a 60 day, 100% money back guarantee.
