Contrary to popular belief yeast infection is not an affliction of women alone, but can also affect men. It can occur in any body part, like the underarms or between the toes. Yeast infection is very common in the genital regions for women.
Although not a very serious cause for concern it can be extremely uncomfortable and irritating.
There are a large number of home remedies you can try out for a yeast infection. Yeast are minute organisms that inhabit the human body in small number normally.
An infection occurs when the presence of these organisms rises beyond the normal levels.
For a vaginal infection yogurt can be quite effective. Use a tampon and before inserting it dip it in yogurt. Do this twice a day and leave it in for an hour or two. This method will not only give you instant relief but will also alleviate the symptoms within just a few days. After the symptoms have disappeared continue doing this for a couple of days as these infections generally tend to resurface. Similarly you could follow the same method and use tea tree oil instead of yogurt. For yeast infections that affect any other body parts, applying a garlic paste directly over the affected parts is quite effective.
