Home Remedies for Yeast Infection:
Mild yeast infections often resolve within a few days, while severe or recurring cases may require up to two weeks to fully recover. If yeast infection symptoms persist for more than three days, it is important to contact your healthcare provider. This is especially important if you are pregnant, have a chronic yeast infection, have symptoms associated with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), or are unsure if it is a yeast infection.

However, if you have mild symptoms and are looking for relief, some home remedies can be considered. Here’s an overview of what might be helpful and what should be treated with caution:

Coconut Oil:
Coconut oil is known for its antifungal and antimicrobial properties. Some research suggests that it can fight Candida albicans when taken. However, it is essential to consult your healthcare provider before trying coconut oil, as more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.

Boric acid:
Boric acid has antifungal and antiviral properties and can be used to make homemade suppositories. It seems particularly useful in cases where conventional treatments haven’t worked. However, pregnant women should avoid boric acid, as it may be harmful to the fetus.

Apple cider vinegar:
Apple cider vinegar is not a reliable treatment for yeast infections. Avoid using vinegar for washing, as it may irritate the skin and worsen symptoms. Adding apple cider vinegar to your bath is also not supported by evidence to restore vaginal pH.
