4. Probiotics
For those who are looking for a natural way to cure a yeast infection, probiotic supplements may be the solution. There are several types of probiotics that have been specially formulated for women’s reproductive health. The probiotics help restore the balance of yeast and bacteria in the vagina. These supplements can be taken orally or inserted into the vagina. Using probiotics can be extremely helpful for the overall health of the gut as well.
This home treatment for yeast infections can have a long term effect on the yeast that has been causing infections. One study found that women who had chronic yeast infections saw a great improvement in their symptoms by using a specially formulated probiotic pill each night for a week. Continuing to use the pills once each week is recommended as a preventative measure. Make sure that you discuss this treatment option with your doctor to ensure it is safe for you to use.
