I just got a yeast infection about two days ago, and I have been using the cream stuff with the applicators, and stuff, but at night IT IS PURE HELL, it itches soooooooo bad, what are some natural things to cure the itch so I can sleep? And something that I can make at home, and I don’t have to spend money on? Thanks.

I always got relief from Betadine douches, but they don’t seem to make them any more. Nowadays I use a vinegar and water douche to relieve the itching. I also take some Benadryl sometimes.
Did you see a doctor and get diagnosed with a yeast infection? If you just decided for yourself that it’s yeast, you might not actually HAVE a yeast infection, but a bacterial or other infection instead. If it’s not a yeast infection, then the cream is NOT going to help it any, and I don’t know of any over the counter medicines that will cure a bacterial infection in the vagina.
Check the cream, too. If it’s homeopathic, then it will only make a yeast infection worse, not better. I’ve seen various homeopathic creams on the market, and what they contain is the same organism that CAUSES yeast infections. If it’s a homeopathic preparation, throw it out and make sure that you read the label more carefully next time.

Probiotic Yoghurt! The bacteria in the yoghurt attacks the bacteria causing the infection and the yoghurt, if refrigerated, cools the area and soothes it.
Good luck!
Natural remedies for yeast infection include colloidal silver, yogurt, tea tree oil and hydrogen peroxide. These suggestions are gentle if used early and you do not need a prescription for them.
Most women experience a vaginal yeast infection at least twice in their lifetime. The symptoms of yeast infection are itching, burning, swelling, heavy discharge and the vaginal area becomes inflamed.
Sexual intercourse will be painful and the male partner can contract yeast infection from the partner.
An acidic environment of the vagina helps prevent yeast from growing. Should the vagina drop below the normal acidic level, the conditions are favorable for yeast overgrowth or a yeast infection.
The acid balance of the vagina can be changed by your diabetes, period (menstruation), pregnancy, birth control pills, steroids and some antibiotics,.
Moisture and irritation of the vagina also seem to encourage yeast to grow
supposedly athletes foot cream! thats why my doctor prescribed! good luck! its the worst
