When it comes to trying to cure a yeast infection from the comfort of your own home with various natural remedies, your choices are not that pleasant.
First of all there is garlic which will make you smell as if you have been eating spaghetti Bolognese for a week and then there is apple cider vinegar which let's face it, doesn't smell that pleasant either.
Of course, there is always natural yogurt which doesn't smell but isn't the nicest sensation in the world - having a vagina full of cold yogurt.
There is one option that is considerably more pleasant than the rest - cure an infection with coconut oil.
Not only does this natural remedy smell very pleasant but it is much nicer to use than some of the other ways that you may have read about online or been told by friends.
There are a couple of ways in which you can use this oil to combat a vaginal yeast infection and even yeast infections on other parts of the body as well.
One of the first is to make sure that your coconut oil is not solid so this might mean heating it up a little by placing a container full into a pan of warm but not building water until it is no longer solid.
Once this has completed, you have two options to cure a yeast infection with coconut oil.
You can either purchase some organic cotton tampons or some very plain natural yogurt.
You can mix the natural yogurt with the coconut oil to use directly on the source of the irritation and this is a good method for men who may be uncomfortable with the idea of using certain over the counter feminine treatments for a yeast infection.
Secondly, you can use your organic cotton tampon and soak it in the liquid coconut oil for just a few short minutes before inserting it into the vagina and leaving it there overnight.
Make sure that you do not leave it in for more than 8 hours however as you run the risk of contracting Toxic Shock Syndrome which is not pleasant at all and can be fatal.
So there you have it, two perfectly reasonable and rather pleasant ways to cure a yeast infection with coconut oil!
