There’s no proven alternative medicine for vaginal yeast infection. For this reason, don’t put anything in your vagina that’s not the prescribed medication.
Do not douche, and especially do not apply vinegar, garlic, or yogurt.
Avoid scratching, even if your feminine area itches
One of the most challenging aspects of yeast infection treatment and home remedies is to avoid scratching. Scratching irritates the vaginal skin further and makes it more vulnerable to infection. When you feel the itching sensation, apply a cold pack, or take a cool bath.
Practice feminine hygiene
And finally, don’t forget to practice good feminine hygiene. It’s important to NOT overdo it. Frequent washing with soap and water in the private area may deplete the good bacteria too. This can cause overgrowth of Candida.
Wash the vagina with warm water and wipe from front to back. Until your symptoms clear up, avoid sexual intercourse.
