Yeast infection is one of those few embarrassing issues that no one wants to deal with. Yeast infection is quite common in pregnancy too and these remedies are safe for pregnancy(except for aloe vera). Increase vaginal discharge, consumption of sugar, too much yeast containing foods and ever stress can cause yeast infection. Main symptoms are extreme itching and redness, thick cottage cheese like discharge (or gushing watery discharge) and burning vulva.Most vaginal yeast infections are caused by the organism Candida albicans. Yeast infections are very common and affect up to 75% of women at some point in their lifetime.

Yeast infection can easily be treated at home using these holistic remedies.
Garlic

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil so amazing when it comes to treating Yeast infection. . You can take 1-2 tbsp. Organic Virgin Coconut Oil daily and also apply it topically to relieve the burning and itching.
