eating probiotic yogurt or taking acidophilos (not sure if i spelled that righ!)tablets is a good natural remedy for all types of infections

also depends on where the yeast infection is located as to what you do!

For a BREAST yeast infection I remeber something called gentian violet (sp?). It is a purple liquid you put on your nipples that STAINS! ANd it will stain baby's mouth too but they swear it works. Wear nasty clothes 'cause they will be ruined.

genetian violet does work very well - if it's a nipple infection you have to treat yourself and that baby otherwsie you will keep passing it back and forth to each other.

i would also recommend supplmenting it with the probiotic yogurt in any case b/c it help restore your body's bacterial balance...yeast thrives when you don't have the good bacteria around to keep it in check. we all have yeast, but a yeast infection happens when there is way too much of it! i struggled with yeast infections for 4 months after having my daughter.

i would also seriously recommend seeing your dr about this and be treated with an anti-fungal.

Are you pg? If not you can use any over the counter anti-yeast cream. You can use clotriamazole creams during pg, but the others are cateory "C",...more risky,...than clotrimazole. There's no natural remedy that I'm aware of. Yogurt can help PREVENT yeast infections, but not treat.

Gentian Violet works great for thrush & breast infection due to nursing thrush baby. But not for vaginal yeast infections.

Good luck, yeast infections are a nuisance,...where ever they are!
