Natural Cures for Vaginal Itching
Concerned about the chemical components of tampons, commercial douching products, and prescription drugs for vaginal itching? Find out what real people are saying about natural remedies for vaginal itch!
Irritation, infection, and allergic reactions are among the multiple causes of vaginal itching. Generally, though, the best natural remedy for your vaginal itch will work time and again, no matter the cause.
Preventing vaginal itch in the first place is, of course, your best bet; so wearing loose-fitting, breathable undergarments and pants can help prevent irritation and infection. Good hygiene, particularly after sex, can help prevent a yeast infection -- a frequent cause of vaginal itching -- and in that vein you also may want to pursue natural remedies to prevent or eliminate a case of candida.
Natural Cures: For some women, honey can soothe itchy vaginal walls and perhaps kill an infection. Yogurt inserted vaginally may have the same effects, while adding beneficial bacteria to the vaginal environment as well. Look, too, for sources of chemical irritants that you can eliminate and possibly get rid of the itch along with them!

[YEA] 04/05/2012: Dr_doodleallday from Shallote, Nc: "Hello ladies! I have been experiencing very uncomfortable vaginal itching and I have been very dry "there". I have tried many creams and some home remedies. One of my friends told me to use Clorox wipes. I was hesitant at first but she said she used them and the result was amazing! Yes, there will be burning at first-but that means that the wipes are working and is killing any possible infection. Wipe your vagina twice a day with the wipe, and you should have great results within a couple of days."

[YEA] 02/05/2012: Marah from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada: "Recently I have had problems with vaginal itching. I have not been tested yet so I'm not sure exactly what it is but I was on Earth Clinic looking for something to relieve the itching until I get diagnosed. The itching was so bad two nights ago that I could not sleep and was desperate to find something that would take the itch away. That night I tried Lidocaine cream which kind of worked but only very short term and only lessened the itch some.
Then yesterday I tried unpasteurised honey. I use locally produced unpasteurized honey as a cure for my allergies to cats and is worked wonders so I though I would try it out on this. I know that honey has a strong antibacterial as well as healing qualities so it just made sense to try it. At first it stung because I am quite sore down there but it wasn't as bad as the Lidocaine cream and after about 5 or so min of discomfort it stopped stinging and the itch started going away!!! I applied honey to a tampon and inserted it. I also applied honey all over where ever it was itchy. I left the tampon in for several hours and then reapplied a generous amount of honey after removing the tampon and just before going to bed. I had no itching while I was trying to sleep last night and today is much improved!! I will reapply honey again today and probably continue in the hopes of killing or at the very least relieving the itching of whatever is going on down there. Hope this is helpful!
(If anyone is interested I eat a Tablespoon or two of this honey every day and it completely got rid of my allergies to cats. I live with 7 cats and used to take reactin every day to control my allergies but I found that I was getting headaches from it. After using the honey for about a week I didn't need the reactin anymore. It's amazing!! And my allergies are quite severe. I am the kind that my eyes run and swell up and I sneeze uncontrollably etc.)"

[YEA] 05/02/2012: Joyce from Dallas, Tx: "Three years ago, I was on multiple and repeated doses of antibiotics for a recurrent Staph infection that has now ceased due to using - Tissue Salts... However, I did develop a yeast infection and (fungus) itchy flaky skin on the labia from the use of these antibiotics.. Nothing would get rid of it... The only thing that helped was drinking borax water that Ted advised on Earth Clinic... Another thing that helped was digestive enzymes, but they got too expensive... And the problem with both of these remedies was that I was okay throughout the day, but at the end of the day the itchiness came back... Same thing with the digestive enzymes, the itchiness would come back at the end of the day... I gave up and basically told myself, "OH WELL"
Then years later I was surfing on Earthclinic for a weight loss supplement and saw one of Ted's posts suggesting to take Chromium, Taurine and especially Vanadium to lower blood suger levels which would reduce the weight. I first tried the Chromium and Taurine together... Did not notice any weight loss or change... Then I purchased a bottle of Vanadium on Ebay, which is Vanadium supplements of 50mcg each and Ted was suggesting to take 200mcg... I did not lose any weight... However, the first day I took this, my itchy vaginal yeast infection disappeared instantly and the effects lasted all night long and into the next day... I can miss a day or two and still be okay... So, I am doing a one day on and one day off and it is working great... Better than anything else I tried : Garlic, Oregano Oil, Borax, Probiotics etc. I don't know if it is a permanent cure yet, but so far so good... Vanadium, go get some now!!!"
