is it true that coating a tampon with plain yogurt or using an applicator filled with plain yogurt and inserting it in yourself will get rid of a yeast infection? i know it sounds gross but if it works its alot cheaper than buying monistat or those other YI treatments.. anyone try this, and did it work? or know of any other home remedy that works.. .thanks!

yes the yougurt works as well a clove of garlic. You get a needle and thread and thread the needle through the clove of garlic and make a string like a tampon. You would insert the garlic in just like a tampon and leave over night, do that for 5-7 days. Use the yougurt too, it really helps the itching
It works

does it matter if the yoghurt is strawberry as opposed to natural?
Are the proportions of the ingredients in the mix important? What are they?

Since yeast feeds on sugars, honey is the absolute wrong thing to put in there, and most yougurts have added sugar to them, so no, I would not try the mix.

Someone told me vinagar and salt bath helps but how much of each ?

Drink buttermilk or eat yogurt. Do not eat or drink anything with sugar in it. That may not sound appealing, but it definitely helps the situation.

Due to my diabletes, I suffer from CONSTANT yeast infections.Does anyone know of a home remedy for this problem?

stop eating sugar and take acidophilus three times a day for 1 month. you can get acidophilus at any health food store and most drug stores – refrigerate after opening.

make sure you wipe well after using the potty – don’t want it too moist down there.

i am scared to go to the doctor and i have the symptoms of yeas infection so are there any home remedies?

Eating yogurt usually helps–but try monistat one dose pill treatment..it usually works the best and u dont have to deal with the mess of the liquid ones. Its the most expensive but in my exprience I bought the cheap 3day messy treatment and would still have to buy the more xpensive one b/c they don’t work. Hope this helps.

I have had a yeast infection for 2 wks now, and i can’t get rid of it. I actually bought some stuff at wal mart and after i used it, i started my monthly period, and it itches real bad, and now im not for sure what to use or do! It was a one a day treatment from monistat! It worked until i started my period then it just came back! any advice!?

yes over dose on yogurt–eat as much as you can stand–it usually cures me within a day or two

i have a yeast infection. i have meds i started today for it to make it go away. does anyone know a home remedy i could do to stop the itching. im about to go nuts from all the itching. its killing me. please help.
this yeast infection was causes by antibiotics i have to take for a infected tattoo.

Do not soak in a tub (worse thing you could do) yogurt is very helpful, eating it and putting a little on a pad to help with the itching and burning. Stay away from breads and drink a lot of water. Get some Boric Acid capsules and insert for 5-7 days 3 times a day. Monistat OTC is helpful also. Don’t let this go on too long it does not just go away it needs to be treated. You doctor can also write for Dyflucan, a one time dose pill that will kill the bacteria. To avoid keep area dry and clean eat healthy. take care

I need something that will full on CURE my yeast infection. Something that I can do at home, and something that will work to get rid of it.

Plain yogurt inserted into the vagina will get rid of a yeast infection. Do it in the evening and wear a pad. Eating yogurt and taking an acidophilus supplement will also help to prevent recurrance. Believe it or not you can use garlic to get rid of your yeast infection, too. Take a clove of garlic (one of the pieces off a head of garlic), peel it, cut a slit in it, then insert into the vagina. Replace several times a day for a few days. You should see your syptoms disappear.
