Ok so I hate the smell that I’m getting especially after sex… i had moninstat 7 and it worked for about 1 month, then i got the yeast infection again.. I just dont want to purchase anything anymore, I’ve heard about home remedies on yeast infection. I heard about the yogurt but it sounds too messy and I heard about the garlic but it sounds dangerous but i’m mostly interested in knowing how the garlic remedy works.. can anyone please explain to me how to do it and how it works??

if you have yeast infection then you must get rid of it as soon as it is possible!!!

if you really want to get rid of yeast infection then you must follow these tips – they worked for me:

1) Eat yogurt!!!! 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) also you should use some 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 hear you are supposed to soak a tampon in plain unsweetened yogurt and do this twice daily to make your yeast infection go away, but my question is…

Exactly how long should I keep the tampon in?

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

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.

I have an IUD and a pesky yeast infection. No money for the doctor, not a fan of Monistat. Can I use the "garlic clove" remedy with my IUD? Are there better DIY treatments?

I have the Mirena IUD and have had every single negative side effect of it – from cramping to continuous bleeding to losing my hair (literally). Shortly after I had mine in, i thought i had a yeast infection and tried monistat. it didn’t work and i ended up back in the dr’s office. turned out to be an infection that i had to take serious antibiotics that made me sick to my stomach and threw up several times per day thanks to them, but it was the only way to clear up the infection. it was brutal. i would just go see the doc asap.

I’m working on curing a yeast infection (my second one) and I’ve done two doses out of three of the Miconazole. I’m curious if using the plain yogurt during the day to soothe the itching and such will counteract it or anything. Thanks!

It’s not only ok, it’s a good idea!

Check out "The Yeast Connection". It’s an excellent book on the subject. I think you can get it on Amazon, or your local library.

BTW, use plain yogurt. Sugar feeds the yeast.

or temporary, immediate relief

Drink lots of water and cranberry juice. Quick remedy…buy some cream from the store.

Is there a herbal or home remedy to take care of Yeast Infections? Make it cheap please!!!!! Poor folks here! LOL

You need pro-biotics.You can buy them at any health food store.The reason you’re getting a yeast infection is because you don’t have any friendly flora in your system.The best pro-biotic I know of is Bio-K.One Bio-K is equal to 100 servings of yogurt.Drink one a day for a week or two and you’ll be fine.If you can’t afford the Bio-K,It sells for about $5.00 each,you can buy some Acidophilus tablets at any health food store.Take one or two with each meal.Eating yogurt every day will also help.

I saw a program with a checklist for systemic yeast infection. I answered "yes" to nearly every question! I already know about yogurt and probiotics. What other things I should be incorporating?
This is NOT for specific treatment of a vaginal yeast infection, rather an overgrowth of fungus throughout the body. Instead of "homeopathic" maybe I should have specified "natural" remedies instead — such as certain foods, vitamins, or supplements to use.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far!

This stuff. 98% kill of Candida Albicans. Triple blind placebo study completed in 1998 and found on Pubmed.org

http://www.microbiologybytes.com/video/Candida.html

Proof that Candida takes two forms and can become systemic.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7727934020345992708&q=candida+albicans+video&total=22&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=3 What feeds candida and what starves candida.

What I did. http://www.glycoscience.org is real. Dr. Hudson Freeze used "Mannose" to help improve his genetic patients which is found in aloe and this company has as well. He was angered by the fact that one of his patients dropped out to take this complex from glycoscience web site and as a result, he has been on a campaign to put down the company that sells it because he wants to market glyconutrients. However, he has no patent and Oxford University has taken down his slamming article against the company that sells it, because he is proven wrong.

In the interum, there is a triple blind pacebo study conducted by Doris Lefkowitz PhD who approves of medical dictionaries and this study shows that glyconutrient complex has a 98% kill of Candida Albicans… The mannose alone, has a 45% kill.

Kalos, from your other answer tried to report me to Yahoo as a solicitation and once they saw my answer was helpful they restored my points and my answer.

If you ever see Kalos Orisates answers again, feel free to report him if he calls osteopaths and chiropractors who have earned their degrees and have healed countless people in a non toxic manner quacks.

This yahoo forum is to be of people of quality and its time for people to take charge and report those who slam natural healing to the extent that it is actually harming people, because side affects of OTC drugs is blindness and liver damage.

It is the body, with the proper nutritional tools that are missing in the modern diet that can cure itself. Once your cells recognize the fungus, it eliminates it on its own safely with no side affects from drugs.

First of all, don’t expect this to go away overnight no matter what you try.

Eat yogurt. It has HEALTHY bacteria that will help.

If you have the money – purchase AZO Yeast. All AZO products are EXCELLENT – especially if you ever get a urinary tract infection, that AZO Standard is the BEST out there!

I have heard inserting the yogurt inside via a turkey baster does work, but I never tried that.

Stay away from sugar! If you must sweeten something, only use honey or Stevia.

everything i search its only for the following symtoms (burning, itching, or irritable]..i have none of those problems. the only probelm i have is the discharge. its lik cottage cheesish. its not rally an odor, just a stinch of stale bread.

sounds typical for a yeast problem. You would want to try something with Miconazole Nitrate in it. preferable 2% opr higher. If that don’t do it. go to see a doctor and have the thing cultured to get a definitive diagnosis…

My mother and my brother have yeast infections, my brother’s is moderate, my mother’s is severe, and it is genetic, since my grandparents on my mother’s side both had it severe as well.

My mother has tried everything for almost a decade now, but nothing has worked at all, and I mean NOTHING, not OTC drugs, not Acidophilus yogurt or pills, not creams, not even all of the general precautions for people with yeast infections.

They both have the Candida Albicans yeast strain, and my mother’s case is extremely rare, because she is allergic to all antibiotics and can’t take any natural or manmade drugs or ointments because EVERYTHING burns her in her women’s area.

My brother has it in his eye so bad that he can’t focus at all sometimes and no drugs have helped him either.

Any help will be appreciated, but info from people who had or still have this problem and defeated it with a non-standard method would be best.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Did you know that Candidiasis and Thrush (yeast infections) infects more then 80% of all people in the industrialized nations.

The first thing would be a diet change. Cut out all sugars… or as much as you can. Stay away from refined goods. No lunch meats. Next, i would suggest going to a health food store and getting a product such as Candistroy, or what ever you prefer.. Perhaps while you are there you could buy some garlic tablets (garlic is also good for killing off yeast)….. also buy some Caprylic Acid (kills yeast).

It is not enough to just destroy the yeast (which by the way can hide anywhere in the body .. not just private parts or mouth, eyes, it can affect the joints as well), you must be able to flush the dead yeast out of the body, as well as to introduce good bacterias back into the stystem with the acidophilus pills. You will also need to take supplements for liver support/cleansing, because as the yeast is killed off it turns into an alcohol, which can make a person feel foggy and tired, but it is just the yeast dying off. The liver needs to be supported at this time so that it can flush out all the dead yeast and toxins. This is a must. And of course drink pleanty of water….. alkaline water is preferable..
There is a new product that is out there called ThreeLac check it out as well. It is suppose to help get rid of stubborn yeast infections.

I am tired, so i hope i was not too confusing….. basically you need to kill off the yeast with a decent product i am sure there are enough listed ….. secondly because those natural products kill off yeast some of them also kill off the good bacteria that is in our stomachs or intestines that help keep yeast at bay… so that is why you will need to take probiotics two to three times a day. And then because of the yeast and toxins it will be hard on the liver as you start to get rid of it from the system… there fore a liver support supplement (which also can be bought from health food store) is imperative. Plenty of water to keep body flushing impurities out. …… Good luck…..
