I’ve heard that the best home remedy is yogurt. Apparently, the yogurt can be effective either eaten or (if you can’t stand the taste of yogurt) as a douche.

Eat yogurt with live cultures. Studies show that a cup a day can reduce the number of yeast infections. Unsweetened yoghurt with live/active bacterial culture is a good choice.

Acidophilus contributes “good” or pro-bacteria that can hold down the yeast population.

Douche with 2 teaspoons of powdered acidophilus in a quart of warm water instead of taking capsules or suppositories. You can also use lukewarm pau d’arco or goldenseal tea. Douche with two cups twice daily for no more than a week.

Tea tree oil and vitamin A come in suppository form to be used every day. They are good alternatives to over-the-counter yeast-fighting creams: Tea tree oil is an antifungal and vitamin A keeps vaginal mucous membranes healthy.

P.S.
The yeast that cause a yeast infection are not the same as those that leaven bread. Therefore, a “yeast-free” diet will not by itself treat a vaginal yeast infection.

The one diet change you can make is to reduce your sugar intake. Candida thrives on sugar and it is for this reason that diabetics are especially prone to yeast infections. Some fruit and some honey is fine; it’s white sugar, and the hundreds of ways we use it, that needs watching.

Old school Plain Yogurt, its natural and less expensive than the prescription you will obtain from the doctor. and you can always keep it on hand, the script usually after using for seven straight days its gone. The difference is that you can either eat the yogurt ( takes a little longer) or use it just as you would the Flagil ( if that’s what they still prescribe) been a long time for me. post MP and don”t take antibiotics unless its absolutely necessary

I heard using yogurt internally works…you can eat it too.
I have a book which says the best thing to do is use a garlic clove wrapped in cheesecloth and insert it with a little hanging out so you can remove it later. Change it every twelve hours.
I’m not sure how you want to treat it homeopathic, but the treatment at the drug store always seems to work better.

Never heard of the vinegar/salt bath but have heard that plain yogurt with live cultures helps.

Drink buttermilk or eat yogurt. Do not eat or drink anything with sugar in it. That may not sound appealing, but it definitely helps the situation.
