Since I am an advocate of natural cures as an alternative to conventional medicines, I subscribe only to natural methods of yeast infection treatment. Some of the most commonly used remedies include the following:
Yogurt. Yogurt contains lactobacillus acidophilus, a good bacteria that can help fight yeast infection. Be sure to use the unsweetened variety as sugar will just attract yeast and induce their propagation. Just dip a tampon in yogurt and place in the vagina until the symptoms go away. Eating a cup of yogurt everyday for a week after the symptoms of yeast infection go away could also be beneficial. 
Tea tree oil. Tea tree oil can be used directly by pouring a few drops of it on a tampon and inserting this into the vagina. Since tea tree oil is a very strong antiseptic, only a few drops is recommended to avoid very strong stinging sensation. Tea tree oil suppositories are also available in some health stores.
Garlic. Since garlic is well-known for its anti-fungal properties, it is a very effective remedy for yeast infection. It can be used both directly on the affected area and taken internally as a supplement. For direct application, wrap garlic with some lubricant in gauze and insert into the vagina overnight. As a supplement, take one garlic clove a day at the start of the infection or you may opt to take garlic tablets that are available in most health stores.
Apple cider vinegar. Apple cider is very effective in killing yeast; however, since it can cause very strong burning sensation that you may not be able to tolerate, it is recommended that about a cup be added to your bath and this will provide you with soothing relief.
Oil of oregano. Dilute a few drops of oregano oil in olive oil and apply with a cotton ball to the vagina. Mixing with olive oil is recommended for sensitive areas like the vagina.
These remedies are effective quick remedies to yeast infection. However, yeast infection are likely to recur and a more permanent remedy and treatment is sought by most sufferers. Again, as an advocate of natural alternatives to health, I can only recommend natural cures for yeast infection. I have come across a holistic system for curing yeast infections permanently. It is an all-natural method of treatment without using drugs, creams and conventional yeast infection cures and can be used on women, men and even children.
