Natural Yeast Infection Remedies: Herbal Solutions & Lifestyle Tips

I tried drinking apple cider vinegar with apple juice and it fixed so many problems, like my circulation and bloating issues, but it did cause a yeast infection. One of you posted a warning about this, but I was wondering which brands do NOT cause yeast infections (preferably affordable brands). Thanks!!!

I was up b/c I couldn't sleep w/itching. Already tried monistat 3 for 3 nights. It didn't help. Went to get ACV out of kitchen after reading this. Drank some in water and dabbed some on tissue then on vulva...relief already. I hope this continues to work. Thanks.

First, this is a wonderful and very informative website! After getting my very first yeast infection ever, I was searching for home remedies before resorting to over the counter meds. After extensive research, I decided to buy ACV and give it a try. After just a couple of days of taking 2 teaspoons in the mornings, I noticed my energy level soar. In one week, maybe less, my yeast infection was gone. I combined the ACV with taking Acidophilus. I feel healthier and "cleaner" since drinking ACV daily. I will continue this since it has so many health benefits. Thanks so much for this awesome website!

Oh, I can't tell you how many yeast infections I have had, not to mention all the money I've shelled out for monistat, Dr. Appts, etc. Yet again on Monday another nasty infection strolled my way, I wanted to start trying some of these home remedies before I headed to the drug store. Needless to say I tried apple cider vinegar for the external itch and BINGO instant relief and cheap cheap. ($2.00 small bottle) I don't have a douche so I still had to buy Monistat ( monistat is over expensive and I swear they make it so it really doesn't cure the infection just hiding it for another month or so !!!!). So next time I am out at the drug store I will definitely purchase a douche and see if it cures the internal main yeast infection. I will e-mail my results to this web site because I am sure I will be visited by another nasty Y.I..... PS: This Seriously Works....Try It !!

will this continue to work? like will taking the ACV and iodized salt baths 2x a day, drinking 2 tbsp of ACV in water 3x a day, and douching with 2 tbsp. ACV and warm water 2x a day cure the yeast infection or just the symptoms? because i have just drank my second glass, and have already taken 1 bath and douched once, and the symptoms are disappearing but i am wondering if it will cure the infection. please someone write back!

I just put two tbl spoons of vinegar in a cup of water and drank it. Then i douched. i put one cup of vinegar in the bottle and filled the rest up with warm water. it burned, but the symptoms went away in 5 mins.

I was at my wits end trying everything from Monistat to douche to vagisil to get rid of this yeast infection. Then I tried the Apple Cider Vinegar in my bath while I was on my lunch break and put two teaspoons in a glass of water and drank it. It soothed the soreness and stopped the itching right away! I feel like myself again! Thank you all who posted this helpful information!

Just about 2 hours ago I was going out of my mind from the uncomfortable feelings that go along with yeast infections. I have always had luck with the 1 Day Monistat, but not this time, feeling confused and ready to spend another $18, I decided to google some natural cures & found this site. What amazing people you all are for sharing your experiences so openly, it gave me the push I needed to drink a glass of water mixed with 2 tbl, of Apple Cider Vinegar & within 2 hours, my symptoms have gone away. Not sure if it's cured, but I do know I'm not itchy right now!! Yeah! Good luck to you all my fellow female friends.

I saw this website and i think it's great!! I was looking through the area on yeast infections and saw many that i have tried. Yogurt does work for a while. What i use is 1/4 cup of salt (iodized) and 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar (add more if needed) in warm bath water, just enough to cover the pelvic area. Then just sit in that for about 20-30 mins. It's the fastest thing i have ever used. As soon as you sit down you will be saying "ahhhhhhhhhhhhh relief"!!!! Of course do not use soaps while you are sitting there. After the 20-30 mins stand up and take a shower. You will be amazed how fast it works!! You can also dab a little ACV on the area prone to infection daily to prevent yeast infections.

I'm a long time sufferer of yeast. Tired of running to the doctor's office for that one little pill to ease my discomfort, I started searching for natural/home cures online and found this site. I ran out to the store, bought some ACV and drank some mid afternoon 2 days ago. To my surprise, my symptoms started to disappear by that evening. Today all the nagging and discomfort is gone thanks to $1 bottle of ACV! It's too easy... AWESOME!

When I get an infection, I pour 1 cup of white vinegar in my douche bottle and finish filling with warm water. I douche twice daily and in about 2 days my infection is gone. The vinegar smell leaves in about an hour.

I took the apple cider vinegar in water twice and the yeast infection disappeared. I had used Monistat without success and couldn't get an appointment with my gynecologist. I will continue to use the apple cider vinegar in water to prevent another infection. What a miracle!!

I am a little embarrassed to write about this problem but felt I needed too. I have had a yeast infection for months caused initially by taking antibiotics. After being to my doctor twice and her giving me 2 different prescriptions (neither worked) I came across this website. I had heard that vinegar had helped women with this problem before but I was skeptical. Being desperate to try anything I used 2 TBS ACV in a glass of distilled water and drank it 2 times a day. At night I just used 2 TBS in a little water. IT WORKED. Thank you to the people who have had success and were willing to put it on this website!

It's 3am and I have been up all night with horrible burning and itching. I tried dabbing the ACV with a tissue and drinking it in water and I felt immediate relief. Thanks so much for the info, it is great to know I am not alone.

Wow i was reading about this about 5am and i went into the kitchen and got some acv (2 tlb ACV ) and a cup of water and by 6:12 am my itch was calm and no burning!!!!!This really works!
