I just had my first yeast infection, within a day it was so bad that I was ready to go to the ER. I tried the AZO yeast pills, you're supposed to take one daily to reduce the risk of a yeast infection and 3 daily if you already have an infection, I tried medicated douches, monistat insert and creme and vagisil. By the time I had tried all these remedies it had got so bad that I was swollen, couldn't walk and the creme had burned me so bad I was bleeding. I googled Yeast infection and found this website. THANK YOU!!!! My husband ran out right away and got me acv and regular vinegar. I know previous people have said not to get the acv in the supermarket but it was a holiday and the health food stores were closed. I took a bath with 2 cups and douched with regular vinegar and water. It was truly amazing the difference I felt right away. Today is only the next day and I think it is almost gone. I don't know if its cured or just hiding the symptoms yet but I feel so much better. It is truly amazing!

I tried the apple cider vinegar cure for a yeast infection by bathing/douching with it. I'm not sure the douching with it was a good idea. I now have pelvic soreness and believe that the infection has moved up to my uterus. Bathing in it did help the itch and pain, though.

I took a turkey baster. Filled it half way with Apple Cider Vinegar and half with water. I put a cup of apple cider vinegar in my bath tub and filled my bath tub up with warm water just enough to cover my pelvic area. I sat in the tub then I douched with the turkey baster. Next, I sat in the tub for about 15 mins. I actually saw the white infection come out of my body. It burned slightly for only about 5 minutes. The infection was GONE. No more burning, itching and clawing my insides out. You can also put some apple cider vinegar and a few drops of water on about three cotton balls and dab it on the outside vaginal area. It will burn, but it won't be unbearable. This will stop the external itching immediately. I had that infection for nearly 2 agonizing weeks. I did 2 monostat treatments and even a diflucan that my doctor called in. NOTHING worked. My itching was so severe that I couldn't sleep, walk, stand NOTHING!!!! I couldn't even go to work. I was also very swollen. After reading this web site, I was cured and for the first time in two weeks, I was able to sleep peacefully. I spent about $70.00 on that chemical crap when I discovered that a $1.00 natural method worked instantly.

For the last year I have had several YI's fed up with spending 20-30 bucks and going to the doctor I turned elsewhere. I have been drinking organic apple cider vinegar everyday for 2 days, eating acidophilus and inserting garlic cloves in to my vagina and am finally relieved! I am so frustrated that my doctor continued to prescribe me drugs that were not working! Thank you for this website and everyone's input!

My wife tried the Apple Vinegar treatment for a yeast infection. But the problem is though, when I went to get the stuff for her, the lady at the health food store told me she could take as much as she wants... don't do it that way. My wife has been sick all nite. I should have read most of these letters last night, it probably would have helped in a big time way. Now I just have to convince her to do a proper treatment with the bath and a drink to finish this sucker off. She can't take this discomfort much more. Thank you for this website and hopefully now I can finally help my wife.

It's 3am and I have been up all night with horrible burning and itching. I tried dabbing the ACV with a tissue and drinking it in water and I felt immediate relief. Thanks so much for the info, it is great to know I am not alone.

★☆☆☆☆WARNING!
Oh a note about apple cider vinegar too. I went and bought the vinegar sold in grocery stores, you know the distilled one. NOT A GOOD IDEA. I drank it and immediately brought out into a yeast infection. I am not joking. As i drank it i began to feel that familiar itching of a yeast infection So just a warning - make sure that it is organic / raw apple cider vinegar that is bought (which is murky brown in colour) and not the other distilled one (light/clear brown is colour) Thanks again.

I was up b/c I couldn't sleep w/itching. Already tried monistat 3 for 3 nights. It didn't help. Went to get ACV out of kitchen after reading this. Drank some in water and dabbed some on tissue then on vulva...relief already. I hope this continues to work. Thanks.

Bacterial Vaginosis vs Yeast Infections. I came across this website while searching for holistic cures for bacterial vaginosis. I think its really important to identify which infection you might have as what works for curing yeast might actually make the bacterial vaginosis worse. A trained physician who is up-to date with the literature should help diagnose you. I have thought that I had yeast recurring for years while the whole time I have had Bacterial Vaginosis, a COMMON condition. Be sure to get diagnosed correctly, ladies! I am going to try taking oral folic acid and the vaginal yogurt insertion to see if either helps BV.

First, this is a wonderful and very informative website! After getting my very first yeast infection ever, I was searching for home remedies before resorting to over the counter meds. After extensive research, I decided to buy ACV and give it a try. After just a couple of days of taking 2 teaspoons in the mornings, I noticed my energy level soar. In one week, maybe less, my yeast infection was gone. I combined the ACV with taking Acidophilus. I feel healthier and "cleaner" since drinking ACV daily. I will continue this since it has so many health benefits. Thanks so much for this awesome website!

Oh, I can't tell you how many yeast infections I have had, not to mention all the money I've shelled out for monistat, Dr. Appts, etc. Yet again on Monday another nasty infection strolled my way, I wanted to start trying some of these home remedies before I headed to the drug store. Needless to say I tried apple cider vinegar for the external itch and BINGO instant relief and cheap cheap. ($2.00 small bottle) I don't have a douche so I still had to buy Monistat ( monistat is over expensive and I swear they make it so it really doesn't cure the infection just hiding it for another month or so !!!!). So next time I am out at the drug store I will definitely purchase a douche and see if it cures the internal main yeast infection. I will e-mail my results to this web site because I am sure I will be visited by another nasty Y.I..... PS: This Seriously Works....Try It !!

will this continue to work? like will taking the ACV and iodized salt baths 2x a day, drinking 2 tbsp of ACV in water 3x a day, and douching with 2 tbsp. ACV and warm water 2x a day cure the yeast infection or just the symptoms? because i have just drank my second glass, and have already taken 1 bath and douched once, and the symptoms are disappearing but i am wondering if it will cure the infection. please someone write back!
