The following are the most effective natural treatments for yeast infections: * Go to your local health food stores.
Look for cold coconut oil in liquid and pill forms, which can be taken as directed.
* Stock up on garlic.
This humble spice can be used to either rub the affected area (peel and crush one clove) or taken orally (take three cloves daily).
* Use the hot tub for your treatments.
Pour a small bottle of apple cider vinegar on your hot bath and then soak in it for about 30 minutes to restore the penile pH balance and to relieve itching sensations.
* Add yogurt to your diet.
It contains microorganisms that fight off the source of the yeast infection - Candida albicans - in your digestive tract.
This is a proven treatment against yeast infection in men and women.
* Use essential oils.
The best are oregano and tea tree oils which can be applied on the affected area.

You have to eat more fruits and vegetables especially the fiber-rich ones.
You also need to avoid foods rich in starch, sugar, stimulants and gluten.
