Natural cures for a yeast infection?!


Question: You CAN eat yogurt to help cure it, BUT you have to get the plain UNSWEETENED kind. With that, avoid sugar, yeast, and refined foods (flour). Also, avoid taking antibiotics/birth-control pills.

And, drink LOTS of WATER! When you drink a lot of water, it flushes out the sugar that the yeast feeds on.

Avoid wearing tight fitting clothing near the crotch, and avoid sitting in a wet bathing suit for long periods of time! Don't wear pantyhose and wear cotton undies(easier to breathe through).


Okay, so a cure that a lot of people use is buying tampons and PLAIN UNSWEETENED yogurt. Dip a tampon into the yogurt and insert the tampon. Leave it in for about an hour.
Take out.
Continue this once or twice a day for about 2-3 days or until needed.

yogurt...and you can get some stuff at the health food stores, you can also put yogurt (plain) in your vagina....I have not tried it though....yeast is just an overgrowth....

I wouldn't recommend the topical use of yogurt. It contains sugar which yeast love.

If you're going to use something topically use coconut oil (which is also safe to ingest). Yogurt is a good recommendation to EAT because of the probiotics in it, but it may be easier to get probiotics in pill form and avoid the sugar and calories.

Eat yogurt (natural only - not sweetened) and take acidophilus tablets.

Avoid all products that contain yeast and sugar, and even cut down on natural sugars in fruit.

Solita is completely right! Lots of yogurt (real yogurt though, not the foo-foo sweet and fruity ones). And yes, you can even put it in your vagina. Make sure it's plain and natural, dip a tampon into the yogurt and put it up there. Leave it in for only a few hours at a time though. Do it a couple times a day.

..."TOOTH - PASTE" ...inset it inside 4 15-30min.then wash... also it is the best contraceptive if "U" use it just before sex[will kill the sperm]

...also you can use "Sulfur-powder" or "Sulfamidol"
