Call me old fashioned but I totally hate going to the Doctors for this kind of thing. So I was wondering if there was anything that I have at home could help. I know you can buy treatments over the counter now days but they are so expensive and messy.

I am copying from a book;
Cut down on sugar, and wheat products. Avoid whole grain breads. Eat yogurt with active L. Acidophilus cultures.
I used this advice before and I know it works.
Hope this helps.

To soak a tampon in yogurt?
How long would I keep the tampon in?
Does it have to be a certain kind of yogurt or does it not matter?

Also how long does this procedure take until the infection goes away

Gahhh please help.
I just need to know what kind of yogurt, like plain or any kind? I don’t wanna make a mistake and I also want to know how long to keep it in and how many times a day to do it.

i dont think that using soaked tampon is good idea!!!

if you really want to get rid of yeast infection then you must follow these tips:

1) Eat yogurt ( sugar free) !!!! It contains helpful bacteria (live cultures, including acidophilus and bifidus) that destroy yeast. Use only plain yogurt with active cultures.

2) Douche with a solution of 1 to 3 tbsp. vinegar in a quart of water. Repeat once a day while having symptoms, but no longer than a week.

3) Decrease or eliminate sugar and sugary foods. Sugar promotes yeast growth.

4) Use a garlic clove as a suppository. Garlic contains a natural anti-fungal agent.

5) Try gentian violet. It’s a traditional remedy for yeast and other infections, and can be found in pharmacies. Swab the area with it once or twice a day. Make sure to use a thick pad – it stains everything.

6) Use an herbal douche. Combine equal amounts of sage, raspberry and comfrey with 1/4 part goldenseal. This can be combined with cider vinegar.

7) You must use herbal treatment. In that case Yeastrol is really good (probably the best) product that gets rid of yeast infection comparatively fast and makes you feel more confident knowing that it wont reappear again!
And of course it is better if you use full course (5 months – if I remember correctly). For me it worked very fast + I dont get yeast infections anymore (almost 2 years) …

I’ve heard wiping the inside of their ear with diluted white vinegar can rid a pup’s yeast infection. How diluted? And do you do this daily until it’s cleared up? I’ve had dogs in the past that have had yeast infections in their ears, and know the symptoms well. I’ve never tried this home remedy but it sounds much better than medications and ear drops with who knows what in them. Anybody try this and did it work?
I have no problem taking her to the vet, I was just asking if anyone has heard of this and if it worked. My dogs are fed homemade food and I prefer to keep them on homeopathic/home remedies.
Thank you, Ruth for answering my question.

I have been using this method for years! If his ears are extremely inflammed and have strong odor already, he probably does need an antibiotic ear flush @ the Vet. If not, you can use and eye dropper and put 3-4 drops each into the canal, fold the ear down, and massgae foe about 30 seconds. Then use an ear cleaner with NO alchohol and throroughly clean his ears. (I use Ark Naturals Ears All Right) For preventative measures, put 3-4 drop (dependning on how large he is) in each ear bi-weekly. This neautralizes the yeast and prevents buildup. I have a Sibe who is allergice to whest gluten, and he used to get infections into the canal. Ever since I started with the vinegar (4 years ago) he hasn’t had a single infection!!! You could try using
ADDED: I would highly suggest getting him onto a wheat free diet (low gluten as well), as wheat is the #1 culprit for causing yeast infections. I rotate my dogs between Innova and Merrick along with Raw additives and probiotics.

a fungus infection in the vaginal area and antibiotics can cause them because of the depletion of a certain bacteria that is needed to fight this off i was told when on an antibiotic eat lots of yogurt as far as a home remedy once you have it you need to get the medicine for it and it is over the counter medicine

what the most fastest and safest home remedy for yeast infection for female in vagina and labia?
Since yeast infection is hard to treat what is safeest ways and quickest way? and how should the methods be doen properly? and can antibodic be use with acidopholis pill? Thank you all for whom repond to this question

Assuming home remedies mean not going to the pharmacy, then go along to the supermarket and get natural yoghurt with acidophilus. I have heard that inserting this into your vagina is okay, but I have never recommended it to anyone, or used it myself. If you have acidophilus (pro-biotic) capsules at home, check the bottle – some are safe to insert into the vagina. In answer to your second question, it is recommended to take these tablets alongside your antibiotics. Antibiotics not only kill the bad bacteria that causes the infection, but it kills all the ‘good bacteria’ in your stomach too. The probiotics (acidophilus) will replace the good bacteria and help keep the right balance. The imbalance of good and bad bacteria not only causes thrush, but can cause diahorrea too. This will help all symptoms you get from antibiotics as well as thrush.
Hope that wasn’t too ‘medical’ for you to understand!

?

plain yogurt and you dont eat it get it put it on down there for a few mins and wash it oif keep doing that and no bread products al so use your blow dyer to dry the area after showering also boil your panties

The best remedy is go to the doctor, only with an exam they know which kind of infection it is and prescribe the appropriate medicine.
something you can try, but won’t get rid of it 100% is vinegar, regular vinegar from your cupboard. wash well with it.

galric clove in cheese cloth inserted into vagina for 24 hours or
baking soda bath a cup of baking soda in bath water restores ph balance or….go to rite aid and get a monistat kit those help too.

dont try the garlic one without looking it up first….i was always kinda scared of that one….if you do tie a string around the end of the cheese cloth so it doesnt get lost.

I have no cash on me until friday, and i have a really annoying yeast infection.
Do any of the ladies here know of anything I can do to down down the itching, until I can get some cash to go to the pharmacy?

You can cure yeast infections all together, not just ease the itching, it’s a lot cheaper to treat it yourself at home…god the price of creams for yeast infections is stupid.

Yogurt is the most obvious choice, even doctors recomend this one. Yogurt contains lactobacillus acidophilus that is a bacterium that kills yeast by producing hydrogen peroxide. Always use plain, pro-biotic, unsweetened yogurt. You can just apply it to your vulva, or inject into your vagina – I used to put it into my menstrual cup to insert it that way without any mess (some people suggest tampons – don’t go there, they cause yeast infections so counteract the benifits of yogurt), but I’ve since found it good to freeze some yogurt into ice cube trays, then just insert one every night until the infection is gone.

Garlic is an antifungal so works great for killing off yeast (not recomended if sexually active, garlic-smell is not attractive), you just use a single clove of garlic, peeled and inserted into your vagina – don’t crush or score it as this may irritate you more, you can wrap it in clean gauze before inserting but not needed. Leave it in for several hours at a time, like overnight, and be sure to remove it in the morning.

Teatree oil is available in the US at many natural foods stores, apply a few drops of pure tea tree oil to water and wash over your vulva, or use as a douche (do not douch with anything else or when you do not have an infection as douching is bad for vaginal health).

Boric acid, load up some size 00 capsules from a pharmacy or natural foods store with boric acid to use as suppositories; the heat and moisture in your vagina will melt the capsules and release the boric acid. Insert 2 capsules filled with boric acid, about 600 mg total, into your vagina every night for a week. This is a pretty strong treatment, and is capable of effectively treating even severe or persistent yeast infections – stop using if it causes any discomfort.

Potassium sorbate is a potent fungicide, make a 3% solution by adding 8 gm (about 1 tablespoon) potassium sorbate to a cup of water, use in a similar way as you would tea tree oil.

Gentian violet is a traditional remedy for yeast and other infections that pre-dates most modern antifungals and antibiotics, the idea is to swab it all over the vulva and up into the vagina once or twice a day for a few days. wear black clothes or use thick pads, because the stuff is brilliant purple and stains everything it touches.

Hi,
I’m 12, and haven’t had my period yet. I am going through puberty though and have all the signs. Anyway, today I’ve been itchy "down there" and I know I have a yeast infection. Is there anything that I could have here at home that could help (home remedies)? Thanks!

P.S.-And I think I have a yeast infection because I’ve been eating lots of sugar lately. My brother had a birthday party and my friend. I should cut down on the sugar.

taking a nice long bath like KaI said will not work.

but, eating yogurt and applying plain yogurt down there will help a lot. and if its not too serious yet the yogurt will clear it all up.

other than that you should probably just go and get some
over the counter medicine for that at the drugstore

because thats the only thing that will surely clear the whole thing up
