It's popular among women with recurring yeast infections to choose home methods rather than spending the money on Monistat every time they get one, as it adds up. That said, many women swear by using plain yogurt inserted in the vagina. The active cultures in the yogurt can kill a yeast infection.
Another thing that many doctors suggest for those who wish to deal with their infections at home is to peel a garlic clove and insert it into the vagina overnight. To make sure that it's easy to remove, some women sew string through the clove and leave it hanging out like a tampon so they can pull it out.
I have also heard of people taking a bath with a drop or two of tea tree oil added to the bath.
Yeast infections generally clear up on their own, or when you get your period. I suggest sleeping with no underwear on, eating a lot of yogurt, trying to eliminate sugar from your diet, and making sure you wear breathable cotton panties during the day.
This is all assuming you're sure it's a yeast infection, because it could be something else. There are lots of websites on this subject and I suggest you either see a doctor (who gets these questions every day and isn't grossed out or embarrassed by it) or you research it on the internet.

In a water tight bowl put: 1 part vinegar, 4 parts water, and some cotton balls. Insert dripping cotton ball into your vagina just as you would a tampon, only not as far, the dripping will soothe the surrounding skin. Pat dry. Every time you urinate change it out for another. That way you will change it enough. A week or two will do the trick. It messes with the PH level in your vagina so the yeast can
