Home Remedies for Yeast InfectionNatural Cure for Yeast InfectionYeast InfectionYeasts are micro organisms (known as candida fungus) that normally grow around any part of the body such as underarms, between toes, etc. Yeast infection occurs when the number of these organisms increases beyond a certain level. It can affect both men and women. Yeast infection in women is very common in the vagina. Vaginal yeast infection produces a discharge like cottage cheese, vaginal itching, irritation in or around vagina, and sometimes, a burning sensation when passing urine. Typically, the acidity in the vagina keeps the level of yeast low. But with the drop in the acidity level (due to various conditions like menstruation period, pregnancy, diabetes or birth control pills), the number of yeast grows and causes the infection.
