Hey everyone,
I've been having some itching around my vaginal opening lately which is usually typical when I start to get a yeast infection. I usually use yogurt to soothe and prevent further infection but I'm all out. Is it okay if I use a apple cider vinegar-soaked tampon the same way I would normally use yogurt? I already feel less itching.
Sorry if this question has been asked before...I've tried looking through old entries but I didn't come across a comprehensive answer to my specific question.
TIA! ♥

My favorite YI remedy is Gentian Violet - I soak a tampon in it - and I usually get relief (some, depending on the severity of the infection) - instantly!
I like tea tree oil pessaries too - but they can only be found in health stores.
I also usually take extra acidophilus.
I'm fighting the yeasties too (sucks). Hope you feel better soon!
Vinegar is drying, so I really wouldn't recommend it. I have had good experience with garlic as well as boric acid suppositories. I am allergic to Monistat (no fun at all) and so my gyn helped me find other methods to help me.
I take a daily probiotic now and that seems to help keep it at bay.
