Natural ways to cure yeast infection

I'm 9 weeks and been diagnosed with a yeast infection,  the doctor recommended monistat but I rather take a more natural approach.  Any suggestions?

Tea tree oil.  Put a few drops onto a tampon, insert tampon half way, remove and discard tampon, repeat once a day until symptons go away.  You can also just apply with your fingers, but the tampon seemed a little easier for me.

Coconut oil works, organic unrefined....u can put it down below!! I'm using it rightt now. I hate all that crap from the store like monistat. I want something that's going to get rid of my problem not hide it. Lol

I agree^

I've done it before and it worked really fast. What I did was dip a tampon in the plain yogurt then inserted it in my vag. Sounds disgusting, but hey it worked!

I always get a brand of Raw apple cider vinegar from Walmart called "Braggs".  It has to have the "mother"in it. Thats the sediment at the bottom(aka the good stuff u need). Anyways, I pour it into a luke warm bath. 2cups will do, and soak for 25 minutes. It will help balance things out and relieve some itching. Also, wear loose cotton undies and u can drink natural cranberry. No cocktail. Avoid sugary foods and drinks. Lots of water. Yogurt with probiotics daily. Take care.

Take a luke warm bath with some bath salts. The salts help the PH levels in your vagina

And drinking lots of water... Going to sleep naked helps too, helping everything stay dry and aired out

Yogurts. Cranberry juice. Probiotics. Avoid sugar as it will just feed the yeast infection. I've also heard of people putting Apple cider vinegar in the bath and take a warm bath not hot obviously because that's not good for pregnant women.
