What are some home remedies for a yeast infection?

Try getting a Rx from your doctor for boric acid suppositories, 650 mg per 00 capsule. You need to get these from a compounding pharmacy. They will give you a plunger to use as well. They run about $1.50 per capsule.
Also, in conjunction with this, use vitamin E. You don't have to get the expensive natural vitamin E, the synthetic will work just fine. It just helps protect your sensitive tissue from further irritation.
Insert, while laying in bed, 1 capsule boric acid and 1 capsule vitamin E each night for at least 3 nights, 4 or 5 if it's really a bad infection. This will balance the Ph in your vagina and enable your body to heal itself.
If you are prone to having frequent infections, try dosing once per month when you seem to have early signs of itching, like right before or after your period or during ovulation. Sometimes these hormone fluctuations will offset your balance. Maintaining healthy vaginal flora is essential.
Try using plain yogurt as a cream during the day for itch relief. Don't use anti-bacterial soaps. Don't eat too much refined sugars, sodas, large quantities of fruit or processed carbs. Don't douche! Not even with vinegar and water and especially with drug store products, it's just not necessary and in most cases will lead to future infections. Taking a good quality pro-biotic can help keep things in check and is a boost for your immune system, intestines and vagina. Flora-Smart brand is a good choice for us ladies.
Hang in there, I battled these till I figured out what I was lacking and that was balance. Find it and pass it on! ;)

Once you have a yeast infection you will need a medicine specifically for it. Monostat can be purchased over the counter now at any pharmacy. I have heard that you can douche with yogurt (yeah, yogurt...plain with no sugar or anything)to get rid of it. The best thing to do is prevent it. This website gives you plenty of things to do to prevent it and other valuable information. Hope it helps:

There really are none. Just go get a Monistat 7 from walgreens or Winn dixie and it will knock it right out. From now on use Summer eve's body wash its created for sensetive skin down there! i use to get them alllllll the time and after i started using Summer eve's it was fine

washing with warm water && unscented antibacterial soap.

&& also; eating yogurt helps a lot!
since yogurt kills bacteria down there.

but I would buy Monostat if I were you; just to be sure that the infection is REALLY gone.


Good luck =)

Eating yogurt does help clear up a yeast infection. You could also take some probiotics (like Culturelle) to clear out the bad buggies.
