A yeast infection is an unpleasant disease whose impact can range from mild to severe with obvious accompanying symptoms. Men, women, and children who have this disease may have areas of dry, red, and itchy skin; complain of constant headaches; you have cravings for foods such as sweets, pasta, or potato chips.

There is a lot of evidence to support the use of vitamin D supplements to cure oral yeast infections often called thrush.

Vitamin D is also found in yogurt, which is a highly publicized home remedy for treating vaginal yeast infections. Several variations of this “theme” can be found, but the basic instructions are as follows. Buy the latest plain yogurt available at local grocery stores.

Immediate relief from symptoms including redness, tenderness, and itching in the vaginal area should be apparent.
