Honey has worked for me before. you probably got the wrong kind. It has to be pure, raw, unprocessed, and unheated. But that’s beside the point – what you need to do now is try yogurt.
it’s really important that you get the kind that is unflavored, natural with no added sugar or color and is not heat treated. soak a tampon in it and insert for about 15 min. also smear some around the labia. this has worked for me before, i got it off a review site that talked about different yeast infection cures.
hope it helps
October 30th, 2009 at 7:45 pmHoney is sweet, like sugar and sugar feeds yeast – makes yeast grow. Garlic is better or UNsweetened yogurt if you can stand the itching that long to see if it works.
Better to see a doctor or buy Monistat over-the-counter at any drug or grocery store depending on where you live.
Different types of infections:
Signs of yeast infections:
White, cottage cheese-like discharge
Swelling and pain around the vulva
Intense itching
Signs of bacterial vaginosis:

A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap
Itching or burning
Slight redness and swelling of the vagina or vulva
Honey doesn’t cure yeast infections. Yogurt can though. You need to wash the honey out of your vagina as best you can – but don’t use soap. Just get in the tub briefly and wash with warm water.
Go to the doctor and tell him/her your symptoms. If you’re sure it’s a yeast infection, you can skip the doctor and go to the pharmacy to buy a remedy (such as Monistat) which will clear it up in a day.
October 30th, 2009 at 7:45 pmto get rid of vaginitis – you need to take antibiotics!!
and if you really want to get rid of yeast infection then you must follow these tips:
1) Eat yogurt. It contains helpful bacteria (live cultures, including acidophilus and bifidus) that destroy yeast. It also works when applied topically. Insert some into the vagina using a finger or plastic tampon applicator. Use only plain yogurt with active cultures.
2) Douche with a solution of 1 to 3 tbsp. vinegar in a quart of water. Repeat once a day while having symptoms, but no longer than a week.
3) Decrease or eliminate sugar and sugary foods. Sugar promotes yeast growth.
4) Use a garlic clove as a suppository. Garlic contains a natural anti-fungal agent. Peel a fresh clove, wrap it in gauze and insert it into the vagina.
5) Try gentian violet. It’s a traditional remedy for yeast and other infections, and can be found in pharmacies. Swab the area with it once or twice a day. Make sure to use a thick pad – it stains everything.
6) Use an herbal douche. Combine equal amounts of sage, raspberry and comfrey with 1/4 part goldenseal. This can be combined with cider vinegar.
7) You must use herbal treatment. In that case Yeastrol is really good (probably the best) product that gets rid of yeast infection comparatively fast and makes you feel more confident knowing that it wont reappear again!
And of course it is better if you use full course (5 months – if I remember correctly). For me it worked very fast + I dont get yeast infections anymore…
I do not know if any pharmacies carry Yeastrol but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.yeastrol.com/?aid=221781
good luck!
