Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar has been used for centuries to treat various health issues, including diarrhea, indigestion, and yeast infections. For yeast infections, ACV’s antifungal and antibacterial properties help reduce the number of Candida albicans in the body. To get rid of a yeast infection, you’ll need to follow a strict regimen involving internal and external treatments.
To begin the treatment, mix one tablespoon apple cider vinegar in eight ounces of water. Drink this mixture once every day for two weeks to help control the yeast in your body. If you start to see results before two weeks are up, you can stop using it—but most people will need to continue using it for several weeks to see a clear improvement.
Once you’ve begun your internal treatment using ACV, it’s time to focus on external treatments. For example, you don’t want to use soap or other products on your vulva if you have a yeast infection—these can cause irritation that can worsen the itching and burning sensations. Instead, soak in a bath with either one cup or half a cup of ACV mixed into warm water. Make sure all parts of your vulva are completely covered by water, and let the mixture soak in.
