Yeast Infection Home Remedy
Signs and Symptoms of Yeast Infection
A yeast infection is a common bacterial infection caused by candida albicans, which is a strain of yeast that naturally live on the human body in small numbers. Yeast infections commonly inflict women in the vaginal area, with the following symptoms:- A thick, white, and odorless discharge from the vagina.
- Itching and burning inside as well as outside the vagina.
- A burning sensation during urination.
- Slight pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Causes of Yeast Infection
Although the bacteria that lead to yeast infections naturally exist on our bodies, their numbers are kept under control by the acidity level inside of the vagina. However, a drop in this acidity level may allow the yeast to flourish, leading to an infection. There are a number of possible reasons why this imbalance may occur:- Pregnancy or menstrual cycles may cause a yeast infection, due to the hormonal changes that a woman undergoes in these situations.
- Antibiotics, steroids, and certain birth control pills can cause yeast infections.
- Excessive moisture inside of the vaginal region can lead to infections.
- Individuals diagnosed with diabetes have been known to be more susceptible to yeast infections.
- Consuming large amounts of sweets and other high-sugar foods can lead to recurring infections.
Home Remedies and Natural Cures for Yeast Infection Treatment
Apple Cider Vinegar for Yeast Infection
One of the best home remedies to treat a yeast infection is Apple Cider Vinegar.
Here are some simple steps on how to use this amazing natural treatment:
Step 1:
Add 1 and a half cups of Apple Cider Vinegar into a bathtub filled with luke warm water, and then soak in it for about 20 minutes. This should be done once a day for the first 3 days of the infection.
Step 2:
After 3 days of soaking, the infection should be significantly less. You can now create a mixture consisting of 1 and a 1/2 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar. Use this mixture as a vaginal douche twice per day for up to 5 days. Note that it is normal if you feel a slight sting when you first apply it internally.
Step 3:
After a few days of douching, start to drink a glass of water mixed with 1 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar once per day. This not only helps prevent yeast infections, but it also has numerous other health benefits such as improving skin health and boosting your metabolism.
NOTE: If you are pregnant, it is best to consult your doctor before using this treatment.

Yeast Infection Home Remedy Using Tea Tree Oil
Tea Tree Oil can be used as a highly effective
douche treatment against yeast infections.
It is recommended that you purchase a small dropper bottle that can be used to store the solution.
- Combine 1 teaspoon of Tea Tree Oil with 1 teaspoon of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
- Mix the solution, which should appear milky white.
- Store the solution in the dropper bottle.
- Add 10 drops of the solution to a pint of water.
- Use this douche once a day for a week in order to rinse the vagina.
Natural Remedy for Yeast Infection With Yogurt
The active bacterial cultures in yogurt help to fight yeast, which is one of the main reasons why many people have found it to be effective at treating a yeast infection.
In the case of vaginal infections, a simple remedy is to dip a tampon in plain, unsweetened yogurt, and insert the tampon into the vagina.
Repeat this twice a day until symptoms disappear.
For other types of yeast infections, applying yogurt directly onto the surface for 10 to 15 minutes each day works well.
Eating yogurt on a daily basis is also recommended for treating and preventing future yeast infections.
If your infection persists for longer than a week, it is best to consult your doctor.

You can also take garlic internally, either as tablets or by crushing a fresh garlic clove into a few small pieces and quickly swallowing the pieces with a glass of water.

For vaginal yeast infections, use Yeast Arrest by Vitanica, 800-572-4712. you can get it at stores like whole Foods and health food places, and even ebay sometimes. That stuff works...Quick, too!!!! Total relief. Don't use if pregnant.
Posted by LaLa on Aug 26 2010 13:04:06
Thanks so much for all the helpful advice. Mine started with just an itch and I used Vagisil. It kept getting worse though, to the point where it burned. That's when I found this site. I'm using Monistat 7 to cure the infection but that's just applied at night. For daytime relief, I'm rinsing with tea tree oil/water mixture. I also use plain yogurt on a tampon. After just 1 day, I am feeling 100 times better!

Tired of this yeast infections: try changing the clove every few hours - it should go away within a day or so. Drink lots of water, eat some plain yogurt, a garlic capsule and rinse the area with tea tree oil mixed water. Simply add 3 drops of tea tree oil into a glass of water and rinse every time you use the washroom. I hope it helps!

For people curious about the garlic, I get yeast infections anytime I'm on antibiotics and this is my first solution. All I do is wrap dental floss around the garlic so you can pull it back out and it works like a charm! I've never bothered using any over the counter creams or medicines because it's always gotten rid of it within a few days.

My chiropractor told me my body was too alkaline and to take 2 tablespoons of vinegar a day. He was unaware I had a yeast infection, but the side effect was that my yeast infection cleared up. Take the vinegar in grape or other strong flavored juice. Now I'm taking 2 teaspoons a day in a glass of water sweetened with brown sugar.
Posted by katie on Jul 24 2010 04:00:52
if you just put plain yogurt (not sweetened or flavored) on your vagina it reallllyy gets rid of the pain. i am not sure if it totally makes it go away because mine is not completely gone yet. but it really helps the itchiness. it is a bit gross but i would do anything to make it go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You yeast infection will not stop your period. And using something as simple as cider vinegar mixed with water is a very good way to treat it. You can even add the vinegar to your bath water and soak in it. Using garlic is also another simple way as mention above.

My name is Ashley. I am eighteen years old. I have had yeast infections since I was eight years old, believe it or not. It is the most unbearable and most agonizing experience I have ever gone through. Every night, a constant itching sensation. I have tried to shift and tried to get it to go away, but nothing works. I have stopped drinking sodas which is hard for me. I have tried rinsing cold water to make it go away, but as soon as I lay down, the itching starts. I can not take it anymore. Can someone PLEASE give me a solution?

Does the garlic oil treatment make you smell like garlic all the time? Also, I read about a remedy where you dip a tampon in plain yogurt and wear it for a while...has anyone tried this?

I CANNOT believe it!! I just went and bought the 1,000mg Garlic oil capsules; clipped the top of the capsule and used the oil all over and it WORKS! I'LL BE DAMNED IT FREAKIN' WORKS! With no sting like Vagisil. Thank you JM whoever you are!

I've been having rancid YI's for at least 10 yrs now and I think the climate you live in plays a HUGE part. When I lived in the North I only got 2 in 5 years. I've been back in the South for a month and am on my second one. I had a doctor tell me once to you the Monistat 7 once a week (one insert every Sunday night) and that will help to ward them off. I haven't consistently done it but I'm going to start...and I'm headed to the drug store for the Garlic oil right now!! Good luck!
Posted by zelda on Jun 13 2010 20:13:23
all i can say is i've suffered from yeast infections until
i started castor oil. Put Castor Oil on Tampon & wear it about an hour or longer. I promise this is a miracle!! it really works. I do it everyday & also once you put the tampon on you can use your finger to put castor oil around the outside the vagina as well can be messy so put a pad then once you take the tampon off you will not have any discharge & be fresh all day. Castor oil is about a bottle. Please try then post let me know...It really works!!!!!

hi, im not sure if i have a yeast infection or a uti but im more positive of the YI... anyways... my vagina consists of redness, its kind of swollen, and there's a layer of discharge that's white somewhat thin but yet cottage cheese-ish...it's not thick and yellow as if it was bc of ovulation. I also had sexually intercourse about 2-3 weeks ago, but these symptoms started Sun. night and I asked my bf if he had any symptoms and he declined and that he was fine. also... when i first started urination it was strong and yellow. please explain to me what it can possibly be bc if it's just a YI then i will feel a little better.

I've had constant yeast infections in the past. I tried EVERYTHING! And the only thing that has worked and continues to keep infections at bay is Silver Biotics. I recommend it to everyone. I swallow a spoonful every night, and I never have yeast infections anymore! It's literally gold in a bottle!
Posted by MJ on May 19 2010 14:49:44
After reading these comments, I tried the garlic oil remedy and it worked instantly. I finally got relief after I used my prescription cream for days, a round of Monistat and nothing worked. I couldn't believe it. I have suffered on and off for 11 years with yeast infections and was amazed how well it worked. I just picked up 1000mg Garlic Oil capsules at my local drug store and applied the oil to the infected area. It is definitely worth trying.

I think I have a YI! I have had 1 b4, but this time it is a lil difrent! I have no discharge, or any smell. I just got married and we got a hot tub!! It just burns and is a lil diconfort. Then it hurts during sex!

Jenny, it sounds like you have a nasty Urinary Tract Infection... which can often occur after sex since small amounts of skin and other contaminants can be forced up into the urethra. If there's blood in your urine, it has likley moved into your kidneys, and means you should seek immediate medical attention. I' ve had a couple of nasty UTI's in my time. The best many have afound to prevent them is to urinate after sex so it forces out any blockages that may have gotten in there. Even if it's not a UTI, it sounds like somthing you really should got to the Doctor for ASAP.
Posted by Jenny on May 05 2010 18:15:24
i have a yeast infection right now, and it itches really bad and i dont know what to do about it, i havent tried anything, but i didnt hvae it before friday,, which is when i had sex for the first time, i also have been peeing a lot and a little bit of blood has been coming out, plus all the other symptoms, itching, discharge, is it just a yeast infection? or is it something else?

I have had a yi in the past and treated it with monistat it works but what i really want to know if the tea tree oil works i am willing to try but my worry is will it give me a uti?

please one suggestion for pregnant women is to get rid of yeast infection as soon as possible and keep yourself free from yeast infection till baby is out,otherwise it will cause serious damages to babys brain which may result in autism( a neurodevelopmental delay)which causes all the learning disabilities and more problems

@Bcn,
2 years ago, I suffered the worst YI ever. It started after took a long bubble bath. I found out that scented soaps and shower gels, polyester panties and moisture can cause it. I was experiencing similar to your but extreme symptoms. Along with red painful and itchy bumps/sores all over the area, there was this thick greenish light yellow cottage cheese looking discharge too. Anyways, I don't want to be more graphic! I went to see the doctor and it was only Yeast Infection. I tried the Tea tree oil remedy but didn't add any alcohol to it. I felt relieved every time I used it! I simply added 4 drops of Tea Tree Oil to a big cup of water and washed the area every time I went to use the washroom or felt pain and itchiness. Also I used Monistat3 combination pack for 3 regular nights. It comes with everything you need to apply it. I ate lots and lots of yogurt and I still do. Now I avoid scented bubble baths, nylon or polyester underwears, tight clothes in summer and it hasn't come back since 2 years.. Whenever, I feel a lil bit itchiness, I use Tea Tree Oil remedy and it goes away in minutes!
Posted by Bcn on Mar 22 2010 19:54:04
Hi, this is the first time that I've had this problem. I've done a lot of research and I think I'll try out some of these remedies, but I'm worried that what I have might be something more serious than a yeast infection! Are little, painful sores common in a yeast infection? I'm really scared. I don't want to go to the doctor if its a yeast infection, but if it might be something worse, I will go....
Posted by CL on Mar 20 2010 23:16:57
I have a yeast infection. Once the itching and burning begins I use diluted clove oil with olive oil. It numbs the area so you don't itch as much. What a relief.
Posted by first-timer on Mar 16 2010 09:53:46
is it normal that i am experiencing swollen glands in pelvic region with soreness?? does that happen when you have a YI? i think i have one but am not sure. logically i feel the swollen glands are a normal sign of infection around that area meaning a Yeast infection. right??

easy question and I am also looking around online for an answer: but, how do you douche with homemade solution? I am only used to the pre-made dispensers from the store that already have a solution. Thanks!!

Boric acid can be used as an antiseptic for minor burns or cuts and is sometimes used in dressings or salves or is applied in a very dilute solution as an eye wash in a 1.5% solution (1 tbsp per quart or 15 cm3 per L) of sterilized water. As an anti-bacterial compound, boric acid can also be used as an acne treatment. Boric acid can be used to treat yeast and fungal infections such as candidiasis (vaginal yeast infections) by inserting a vaginal suppository containing 600 mg of boric acid daily for 14 days[11] or for yeast infection of the male pubic region (jock-itch or strong genital odor) by applying the powder to the skin all over the pubic region for several days to a week. It is also used as prevention of athlete's foot, by inserting powder in the socks or stockings, and in solution can be used to treat some kinds of otitis externa (ear infection) in both humans and animals.

Foremost, I would like to thank everyone for being so informtive and candid(a) on this subject. I am at my wit's end. If I thought it would help, I'd pour kerosene on my crotch and insert a sparkler... (oh wait, it already feels like I did!) I'm going to try some suggestions. Thank you again! I wish you all happy private parts! >.<

Ladies... you do not have to mess around with yogurt on tampons, or douching garlic, (yuck) Just go to your local health food store, and in the refridgerator you will find probiotics for the vagina sold with an applicator. This is VERY EFFECTIVE and will cure your yeast infection completely. I would also recommend taking a quality oral probiotic daily, since I have been doing that I never get yeast infections anymore!!
Posted by Lady Linds on Jan 10 2010 23:16:45
I am going to every website that I remember looking at when I was searching for an alternative treatment for YI and posting what worked for me: boric acid. I did the research after two over the counter kits, a doctor prescribed cream, the diflucan pill, garlic cloves, yogurt, peroxide douches, and tea tree oil failed to help my ongoing/reoccurring infection. Nothing worked for more than a day or two, if at all. I began to wonder what was wrong with me - I had done everything right, cut back on sugar, switched laundry soaps, stopped using shower gel, gave up pantyhose, wore cotton underwear - nothing helped. Then my sister in law came to visit. She tracked down some gelatin capsules (health food store) and boric acid (drug store). I filled a 00 size capsule about 1/2 way up and inserted it at night before bed. I did this for 4 nights and I have been YI free since then. Please, if you're at wits end like I was, just try this. It might be your miracle cure too.

First it in nice to know I'm not alone in having a chronic yeast issue! I have found that the Yeast Guard products are wonderful.It is over-the-counter and homeopathic! I also read that women who live in areas where coconut is a large part of their diet have no reported yeast infections. The article recommended eating coconut (non sweetened)and using coconut oil in cooking. It tastes wonderful! These are a few things that have helped me over my 20 year search for a cure.

Posted by Mary G. on Nov 20 2009 15:06:02
For Anonymous with the four-year yeast infection. Try giving up wheat and gluten for a week or two. I also had yeast infections for four years (constant) and my sister had them for eight years (constant). We both quit eating wheat/gluten (bread, etc.) and have not had another one unless we eat wheat or gluten. It's worth a try!
Posted by Amy on Oct 20 2009 15:57:20
It's always good to use tea tree oil rinse until yeast infection is completely gone. Everybody is different in healing time therefore there is no fixed treatment period. It's only you who can tell if you are cured. For peace of mind, the best thing to do is when you think yeast infection is gone, go for a check up to make sure it is cured. I know Tea tree oil works for yeast infection! I start using it every time I sense it coming.
Posted by sponatneous combustion on Oct 20 2009 15:03:33

Yes, yeast infection can start after exercise if we don't take shower and change sweaty undergarments. Yeast infection flourish in damp and moist conditions because moisture interferes with the acidity levels of vaginal area. Therefore, make sure change undergarments after workouts!
Posted by Anonymous on Oct 17 2009 01:45:25
Does exercising cause yeast infection? i never had yeast infection till three days ago after working out from the gym. I haven't change anything in my diet or my life style. so i'm not sure how or why i have yeast infection. but i did visit my doctor today and she took sample from my vagina. But she told me i don't have any infection. I haven't changed sex partners and i have been exercising for a long time. so i'm really confused with this whole thing. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP.
Posted by Anonymous on Oct 15 2009 00:41:30
I feel bad for you for suffering through Yeast Infection for so many years. I think first you should try to find out what is causing it so frequently. I'd suggest cutting down on sugar intake, stop using any fragrant soaps or body washes,and adding yogurt your diet. Also take Oregano oil or any other immune booster to strengthen your immune system and wash the vaginal area with 2-3 drops of tea tree oil in a glass of water. Then apply Monistat Derm for the rest of the day. Make it a habit.It worked for me. I used all that along with monistat caps. I hope it helps! Good luck!

i have been having conic yeast infection for about 4 years( a new infection 2-3 times a month) i have tried the over the counter cream and it worked a dozen or so times (fyi canestin is the best one i tried and there really is a difference) when that stopped working i tried diflucan which worked about 3 times then didn't anymore. I've tried dida an herbal remedy for yeast infection which kept the infection away for one month approx then reoccurred. I've tried eating yogert that defiantly had no affect,same with taking the pro-biotic pills. i have found that sticking a acidophiles ( pro-biotic ) up your private helps relieve symptoms fairly rapidly but is a bit messy ( wearing a liner helps) i suggest using high quality capsules as they are the best the cheep super store ones are not as good noticeably. i tried a candidas cleanse called candida gone and in the last 4 days i got strep throat went on antibiotics and strait into the worst infection of my life. I've also tried Chinese remedies also with limited luck. if any one has any help for me I'm in some serious need of it. oh one more thing that has been the best thing I've found so far its a suppository of glycerin and boric acid that your doctor prescribes not perfect but worked really well the first time. I'm hoping to find a permanent cure all that i have listed ( some that worked ) have only been temporary, at best one month of freedom. if anyone has something to help me be free of these infections I'd appreciate it
Posted by Joy on Oct 14 2009 03:26:21
Use the garlic clove, the yogurt, or a combination. Garlic is antifungal and antibacterial, so will kill candida albicans and bacterial vaginosis, but will not cause irritation or eat away the delicate skin in your personal areas. That can happen if you have too strong a concentration of tea tree oil. Also there was a case where they thought tea tree oil was causing boys to grow breasts. Anything that may pose a hormone risk or damage to the birth canal should not be used during pregnancy.

Try a Candida Detox!! I had recurring yeast infections for 2 years!!! I got it every month before my period started. It was awful! Tried all sorts of prescriptions, Diflucan, etc.. nothing worked. So I did a RenewLife CandiGone detox. 2 weeks, no sugar, take the herbal supplements and ALL MY YEAST INFECTIONS WERE GONE. It has been 4 years now since then. AND, I had the added benefit of getting rid of my acne with the detox. I had volcanoes on my face but after one week on the detox, my skin cleared up and I haven't had acne since. =) It was a miracle for me. Now I get comments by health professionals about how great my skin is! It glows! All that for a herbal detox. I can't recommend it more. =)

I very prone to yeast infections. I am a fan of yogurt and still I get them. The only way to truly cure is dont use a fragrance body wash or detergent. Buy cotton underwear and wash them with non fragrance detergent. Ive been doing much better now.

I had bacterial vaginitious and now from the drugs I took I have a yeast infection. I am scared to put anything internal because my PH is finally normal. What can I do externally or oral and what is most effective. I also seem to be very warm in that general region (butt, hips thighs) is it possible I have another infection or is that from the yeast?

Don\\'t waste your money buying the natural-cure-for-yeast-infection ebook. It basically has everything we already know about yeast infections and in the book has the same remedies as above. Trust me, i know.. I bought it.

Has anyone tried the solution using the yogurt? This may sound like a stupid question, but how do you get the yogurt back out again?

I believe I have a yeast infection caused by birth control pills, but the infection started showing signs during my period. It's driving me insane, and I have a doctors appt. today. However, I'm scared, as I'm an american living in Peru. The medical system is a bit behind that of the U.S.
I think I'm going to have to resort to using these home remedies. I'm glad I found this site.
I feel more embarrassed though, since I have to bring my boyfriend with me, as he is my translator.

I have found thta the best treatment for yeast infection is to buy garlic oil capsule and insert the capsule in the vagina. ( Use capsules that dilute easily). Another alternative is wild oregano oil mix with a water base cream ( Aqueaous cream) for itchy skin and inflamed skin outside the vagina. You can alos take wild oregano capsule + garlic oil capsules everyday it will prevent yeast infections. I hope it helps.

Do this home treatment help for fishy smell as well?

Yeah, the diluted peroxide really works. I've had chronic yeast since I started puberty. I've been going to doctors for years. I've taken diflucan and everything else. Nothing worked. The diluted peroxide worked like a charm and I'm yeast free!

If you are constantly getting a recurring vaginal yeast infection it is a posibility that your partner has it and keeps infecting you men who aren't circumsized are prone to yeast infections

Girls/Women....Please see your doctor before trying any of these home remedies. Go to your GYN and get a culture test to find out what the problem really is.
Most doctor are open when it comes to home remedies. Your doctor could help you monitor your self treatment and if it does not work the doctor can give you a perscription.
White discharde could be more than a yeast infection. It could tricamonia which could be cured by taking a couple of pills twicw a day for 7 days.

You should definitely see a doctor. Even if it is not a yeast infection, whatever it is, it is treatable with either antibiotics or anti-fungal medicines. I had a yeast infection, and I was prescribe diflucan. I took the one pill. It didn't really go away. I took another. It felt better a week or 2 later- but I still felt I had it. I saw another doctor, and he put me on another type of anti-bacteria that kills the remaining bacteria, as he said the diflucan only kills on strand - the candidas albicans. There is still remaining bacteria that needs to be killed. This helped me. BUT, I still recommend a healthy diet with low sugar, caffeine and yeast- i.e. a good ph.

I heard about this and tried it -- this works!
Purchase a small spray bottle and regular, inexpensive hydrogen peroxide -- the kind that comes in the little brown bottle. Put just plain tap water (you may use distilled if you have it)in the bottle to fill 1/4 way. Fill the rest of the way with hydrogen peroxide. After showering and cleaning yourself and drying, and after every urination, spray yourself with this solution --- and drip-dry!! Using toilet paper or anything else can spread the infection. Change your all-cotton underwear 3- 4 times a day (white is preferable and the hydrogen peroxide won't bleach it out.) You should notice relief in about 3 hours of using this solution! IT WORKS!
I also went to bed two nights in a row with plain yogurt (no sugar in it!)inside me -- I used the tubes that come with the vaginal creams. Eating the yogurt (not the same container, obviously) will also help.

This is for Evie - I also got re-occuring yeast rashes under by breasts and my doctor recommended using a Lotrimin foot powder, full strength until the rash was gone the then a half-and-half mixture of Lotrimin and Ammens Medicated Powder for maintaining. This was four years ago and I have not had the rash since.

I've found the absolute best way in dealing with yeast is prevention. Yeast grows off sugar, so it's essential to eliminate all sugars from your daily diet for at least the two weeks your treating yourself for the infection. Afterwards I would reduce my intake of all sugars,including friut juice. Also it's a great idea to try a yeast free bread sold at the health food stores. Ezekiel bread is pretty good. Cooking your food with onions, garlic,(strong anti-fungal qualities),ginger is also very helpful in fighting candida overgrowth. I found chaning the way I eat, drink, and getting some exercise weekly has really helped me overcoming the yeast infections. An added bonus the month I went sugar, and bread free I lost ten pounds, and my digestion felt wonderful!! I really hope this post helps someone. Be Healthy. HEAL*THY*SELF

I am 6 months pregnant and I have a yeast infection. I have had them in the past but this is the first one since Ive been pregnant. I dont want to use any thing over the counter because I dont know how safe they are. I was wondering if any one knew any more home remedies I can try. please and thank you.
Posted by Evie on Sep 30 2008 17:29:53
What about yeast infections under your breast? I get these a lot. My doctor recommends a cream that has both steroids and antifungals in it, but it keeps returning. I have been told to keep it dry, which I do with corn starch, and to wear cotton bras, which I do not because I am too large and need better support. Any suggestions?

I used the tea tree oil already and while reading this the thought occurred to me that I could be pregnant. I am not trying, but you never know. My question is, what could the damage be if I am pregnant?
Posted by Nate on Jul 01 2008 22:23:40
Would any of these remedies also work for males with yeast infection?
Posted by Trish on Jun 15 2008 15:05:14
another remedy that works well is rub yogurt directly on the vaginal area. the active cultures naturally fight yeast.

a solution of apple cider vinegar, water and a little garlic, used as a douche is extremely helpful. The results and the relief we evident immediately

Hi Elizabeth,
Using the Tea Tree Oil douche to treat a yeast infection is not recommended if you are pregnant. During pregnancy, it is best to consult with your doctor on how to treat the infection, and double-check that the suggested vaginal cream is safe.

I have used yeast infectin creams twice to try and eliminate this onset of infection, but to no avail. I'd like to try the tea tree oil home remedy above, but I am concerned for two reasons 1. I am 2 months pregnant 2. I have had this onset reoccur since late October. After reading an articule of yeast infections, and the ultimate damage it can cause such as gastro problems, and the spread of the infection into other parts of the body, should I be more worried not haven got rid of it? Can I or should I try the tea tree oil remedy? My gyno told me I can use a vaginal cream, but being pregnant, I'd rather use a more natural means. Please advise.

The tea tree oil yeast infection treatment seems to work well! Thanks!
