Apple Cider Vinegar for Yeast Infection
Kasey (Meridian, Idaho) on 04/02/2007:
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!!!

Ok. After reviewing this website I was so excited about curing my self at home, and not waiting on a Dr. Visit as I usually do. Unfortunately, I have yeast or BV infections at least once every six months, (I guess I should be grateful according to some). Which I believe comes from my horrible eating habits and limited veggie intake. So once I read through each email I made a list and headed directly to the Health food store and my list included; acidophilus pills, ACV, plain no fat/no sugar yogurt, and pomegranate cranberry juice. I wanted to try each remedy at a time so I could actually see the results. So since ACV was highly recommended, I tried it first. I started of with a 2 tbsp of ACV in water, and chocked it down, which is a taste one must acquire. Later, I followed up with an ACV hot bath and douche. I did this for two days straight both morning and night and it only made my condition worse. A couple of days later, I tried the yogurt, which felt great at first, but it only covered-up the condition for about 4 hours. Since neither remedy gave immediate results, I went ahead and use my last prescribed treatment of Clindesse, which seems to be my only hope. Needless to say, I used the Clindesse on Wed, and the majority of my symptoms were gone by Wed. Night. Come Thursday evening I felt a slight discomfort and I douched with Hot water and Iodized salt (which was recommended in only (1) feedback response), clinching tightly to my faith (that I would not be harmed in anyway since this remedy had one recommendation). This morning, I feel great, all symptoms have disappeared and I feel normal again..In conclusion I tried a variety of remedies within these last five days, but Clindesse and a Iodized salt/warm water douche seem to do the trick. (I guess it works the same as if you would gargle with warm/salt water. PS. For what it's worth I have added acidophilus pills to my every day diet.

I tried the vinegar as a douche, but other than suspending the symtons for about 24 hours, I was not cured. Next, I tried garlic. Again, temporary relief of symptons, but no cure. I am now going to try the yogurt. I will keep you posted.

I have had recurring yeast infections for years which ceased when I went off the Pill. Now back on the Pill and WHAM, they're back. Tea Tree oil used to work well (few drops inserted on a tampon.) But today..NOTHING worked. Severe pain. Used the ACV cure (2 T in water) and w/in an hour, I felt better. What a miracle! The over the counter 'curse' never, ever work for me. Thanks for sharing this cure!

(1)all the inflamation in my sinuse's and chest is gone, including my back and neck (I had a triple disk neck fusion 3 years ago and have issues with swelling still(2)I could feel my sinus's draining, which usually took about 3 days of heavy antibiotics, but this morning was a miracle(3)I have more energy then usual (4)I can breath better because my chest is clear(5)I feel like a new person today. Thank you for this site! I have been emailing all my friends and telling them about ACV and the effects. (I also had a severe yeast infection, which is clearing up also! just in case you gals wanted to know! I will update again tomorrow morning.

ACV worked for my Yeast Infection. I had already used Monistat (1 Day) and the result was nil. I also used the anti-fungal cream that came with it, with minimal results. The itch was driving me crazy, so my next stop was going to be Vagisil (which I've never used before.) But then I searched for natural cures online and found YOUR lovely site! I drank 2 Tbsp of Omega Nutrition's unrefined Apple Cider Vinegar (it's organic) in water, plugging my nose as I did. Then I sat in half a cup of it in a low bath for 20 minutes, pouring it over the front of myself as I added it to the bath. Voila! Three days of discomfort was over! I'm never buying useless ovules again.

I use to suffer from UTI infections now i don't get uti infections anymore i happen to get reoccurring yeast infections. I keep going to the doctor to get medicated creams which don't last and don't do the trick. I did my own research and discovered that apple cider vinegar , grapefruit seed extract pills and nursery jelly works. I would recommend this to anyone .I think all those above mentioned things work.

I am simply amazed! Two days ago I started developing symptoms of a yeast infection. From past experiences I was dreading starting a "drug store remedy". In the past Monostat or others like it took about seven days to work, if they worked at all. I decided to search for an alternative cure and found this web-site. I read all of the testimonies about apple cider vinegar and had "_______" in my fridge so I had nothing to lose! I drank a glass of water with two tablespoons of ACV in it. I also put 1/2 cup of it in a hot bath and soaked for 20 min. As God as my witness I got out of the tub and already felt a huge difference. It was as if the discharge magically disappeared along with the itch. I thought this could not have happened so quickly and thought when I woke up this morning the symptoms would be back. I felt some mild pain this morning, drank another glass and soaked again. I have no discharge at all today and feel no other symptoms. I plan to soak again tonight and continue to drink the ACV three times a day from now on! I want to shout this cure from the mountain tops!!! Thank you for this website and for all that contribute to it. We can spread the word that meds often mask the problem and natural is the way to go!!

oh my gosh...this website is such a life savor. i have no time for a yeast infection. I've tried every brand of otc medications, and still have the problem. i ran into this website and saw all of the remedies on apple cider vinegar about 15 minutes ago. i immediately drank 2 tbsp of acv w/ little water, and then i ran to the shower and did a quick douche with a cup of acv and water. i feel little to no symptoms of even having an infection. this is such a wonder. thank you everyone. you definitely made my day better!!!!!

I just had my first yeast infection, within a day it was so bad that I was ready to go to the ER. I tried the AZO yeast pills, you're supposed to take one daily to reduce the risk of a yeast infection and 3 daily if you already have an infection, I tried medicated douches, monistat insert and creme and vagisil. By the time I had tried all these remedies it had got so bad that I was swollen, couldn't walk and the creme had burned me so bad I was bleeding. I googled Yeast infection and found this website. THANK YOU!!!! My husband ran out right away and got me acv and regular vinegar. I know previous people have said not to get the acv in the supermarket but it was a holiday and the health food stores were closed. I took a bath with 2 cups and douched with regular vinegar and water. It was truly amazing the difference I felt right away. Today is only the next day and I think it is almost gone. I don't know if its cured or just hiding the symptoms yet but I feel so much better. It is truly amazing!
