Yogurt reverts the balance of the vagina to its intended state as it is rich in friendly bacteria preventing the bad bacteria from spreading uncontrollably.

Garlic acts as an anti-fungal substance that kills of the yeast. To prepare a special garlic tampon peel single garlic clove and clothe the naked clove with some gauze or cheese cloth and tying both ends with some unwaxed dental floss, one end should have a dangling piece of string that allows one to pull out the tampon when changing it. Insert the garlic tampon into the vaginal overnight or for several hours until the symptoms are subdued. Avoid peeling a piece of garlic when peeling the skin off as the juice that seeps out may irritate your vaginal lining. If the gauze causes discomfort it can be omitted, the clove usually drops out by itself or a crouching motion will encourage the clove to pop out. Garlic supplements can be bought from the health food stores and used. However, the treatment is fairly milder than others and may be used in conjunction with another treatment and some people may be allergic to garlic.
Tea tree oil could also be used on a tampon as a remedy for yeast infection.

On the other hand, 600mg of boric acid in capsule form could be inserted into the vagina so that the moisture and heat in the vagina would melt the capsules to soothe the itch after a while. Women are to be forewarned that the known side effect of the boric capsule treatment include repetitious stinging sensations and excessive discharges. Tea tree oil is also not without drawbacks, as it could irritate the vagina.
