Tea tree oil. This is one popular home treatment for genital warts because it has antiviral, anti-inflammatory and pain killing natural properties.

Replace the cotton or gauze daily. This treatment may take a long period to take effect and see results, just be patient and repeat the procedure until warts are removed.

Garlic – has been used as an antifungal and yeast killer for ages. To prepare – wrap the garlic in a piece of cheesecloth. If you do not have cheesecloth a piece of first aid gauze will do. Tie up the ends with dental floss so it is easier to remove in the morning. Place the wrapped garlic into the infected vagina overnight. This may take a few applications. Be really careful that you are not allergic to garlic because if you are allergic, do not do this remedy.

Many women have used yogurt for ages as a healthy snack and to get rid of yeast. It contains lactobacillus acidophilus, which produces hydrogen peroxide and that is an antibacterial. You must use the plain, non-sugared kind of yogurt and spread some on the infected vulva and vagina as you would a topical medication. Eating the yogurt helps too.

You can drink cranberry juice to lower your pH of your urine which in turn the acidity inhibits the yeast infection from spreading. Many women swear by vinegar douches.

Before inserting a tampon immerse it in tea tree oil mixed with olive oil or KY
