Yeast Infection Help.?!
Question: I"m snowed in currently and there is no way I can get out until tomorrow to get my OTC treatment.
However this yeast infection is killing, what can I do to treat it at home? I have no yogurt, and only powdered garlic.
Thanks

Try some apple cider vinegar if you have any of that. Dilute it about 1/2 and 1/2. It is very good for viral and fungal (yeast). Helps restore ph balance also, which helps.
When you do get out, instead of OTC, get a bottle of Grapefruit Seed Extract from your local health food store. Dilute it 10 drops to 6 oz of water (can be a bit stronger). You can use it as a wipe or douche. It is also effective for sore throats and ear infections, and can be taken internally for other fungal, viral and bacterial issues. It is a must in any medicine cabinet. If the health food store doesn't have it, you can order online at http://www.iherb.com (not affiliated, just where we get it - good price, good service).
You might want to consider picking up some probiotics and enzymes while you are there. They will help get your bacterias back in balance so that you don't get recurring yeast infections. Natural Factors and Garden of Life are reputable companies - as well as Enzymedica. Get a refrigerated probiotic. The enzymes don't have to be refrigerated to be effective.
Oh, hunny, I don't think powdered garlic will help. Sitting in a warm bath with some salt added may soothe it a little.
