Just having a bath with a couple of crushed garlic-gloves in the water worked for me.

I suffer from some yeast infections, but mostly recurrent bacterial infections (bv), despite a healthy diet, daily probiotics and good hygiene. I have tried many, many remedies and treatments. After years of antibiotics, symptoms only continued to recur, as well as digestive problems from overuse of antibiotics. I have been prescriped to use boric acid capsules from an md. This does work, however it can take up to 10 days and can cause irritation. Recently, I have used a 1/4 cup peroxide to 2 cup distilled water solution as a daily douche with a quicker result (about 3 days) and less irritation. The best remedy I have ever found for immediate relief of discomfort is tea tree oil diluted with vitamin E oil. Put directly on the vagina, soak a tampon with it and insert it. This works to treat the infection as well as the symptoms; but it takes much longer to eradicate the infection. I also use a cardboard tampon applicator, minus the tampon, as a delivery tool for probiotics. I just open the enteric coated capsule and pour the contents into the applicator after it is already inserted into the vagina. It makes a “tunnel” if you will. I am still searching for the underlying cause of this recurrence and believe that one day I will be rid of it for good! Best wishes to all of you in finding health and wellness!

This is in response to the lady who thought it good advice to tell people to put Boric Acid up their Vagina’s. Are you crazy!! I just did like 5 minutes of research on boric acid, it is not safe for internal use! Some of the side affects listed, included damaging a woman’s fertility. These are supposed to be Home remedies. Boric Acid is a chemical. I would stick with The grapeseed and apple cider vinegar, and just generally anythine else that is edible. Lady you are nuts!! Sorry to sound like a jerk, but recommending that on a page where people might actually listen to your crazy idea just scares me quite honestly. People don’t listen!

Applying the yogurt to the vaginal area has worked for me. It relieves the itching because it is cold and by the next day I am better.

This remedy works inredibly well for yeast infections. First buy some empty gel caps from the health food store, use the biggest size they have.
Fill the caps with boric acid, which can be bought at any drug store. Use one or two at a time at night as a suppository.
It works immediately for me if I catch it right away.

I heard about eating oatmeal to help balance out the body from all the wheat that we eat. Since then I eat oatmeal almost every morning and have not had any problems unless I stop eating it for a while.

Try grapefruit seed extract (5-8 drops in juice or water)every day as a supplement, and stay away from refined sugar, which feeds the yeast.Also- liquid stevia, a natural sweetener contains grapefruit seed extract and is a tasty addition to anything you drink!

I take an acidophilus supplement that contains 5 million active cultures and requires refridgeration with every meal, and a teaspoon of colloidal silver each morning at least 15 minutes before meals to prevent yeast and urinary tract infections.
