your really need to see a doctor, but yogurt should help also Cotton or cotton-lined underwear should be worn and tight-fitting pants and undergarments should be avoided (they increase body heat which may allow yeast to grow more easily in the vagina).\n- Feminine sprays, talcs, or perfumes should be avoided in the vaginal area.\n- Excessive cleaning of the vaginal area should be avoided. The vaginal area should be washed once a day with plain water or a mild, non-perfumed soap.\n- Douching should be avoided unless instructed to by a health care professional.\n- The vaginal and perianal areas should be wiped from front to back after urination, bowel movements and when washing.\n- Eating a daily cup of live culture yogurt (especially when taking antibiotics) may help prevent a yeast infection.\n- Sexual intercourse should be avoided for at least 7 days from the start of therapy.\n- Vaginal creams and suppositories containing antifungal agents are available over-the-counter and by prescription. (Specific products may be recommended by a physician or pharmacist.)\n- The oral anti-fungal tablets (one day treatment) are available by prescription only.

My Mom got thrush on her toungue as a side effect of chemotherapy. Her doctor recommended going to any store with a large dental hygiene section, like Walgreens or WalMart, and looking for mouthwash specially made for thrush. There are two that I found for her and both worked very well. I'm sorry that I cannot remember the brands, but if you look, you will find them!

1.  Eat sugar free yogurt twice a day for a few days.  You should see some improvement.\n\n2.  Insert plain, sugar free yogurt into the vagina before bed.  It helps to balance the chemical acidity in your tissues and helps to eliminate the bad yeast cells.\n\n3.  Douche every few days with a mixture of plain vinegar and water to help realign the acidity levels.\n\n4.  Drink lots of water and take a good multivitamin every day.\n\n5.  Try to keep sugar intake to a minimum, as sugar "feeds" yeast and helps it grow.\n\n6.  Drink a few glasses of sugar free cranberry juice every day to help avoid the urinary tract infection that usually accompanies yeast infections.\n\n7.  Try eating a low carb diet while you are recovering from the infection, as carbs (breads in particular) break down into sugars that, again, help feed yeasts in the body.

I've read the answers so far, and most are either over the counter meds or old fashioned treatments.  All help to a degree.  But they are not true alternative medicine.  There are sinus washes that will flush out fungus infestations.  Also, oil of oregano capsules will help eliminate fungus, an almost always cause of sinus problems.  A very good book on healthy living in general and healing various human illnesses is:\nFoundations for Healing by Richard L. Becker, D.O. ~ Available at www.bioinnovations.net or call 1-888-442-6161.  Dr. Becker has a great one hour TV program at 12 noon central time.  Channel 321-WHT-on my DirectTV.\nOne of the most important things you can do for your health is to eliminate or cut way back on sugar because it feeds fungus and yeast in the body.\nWarm compresses, dry or moist will help ease sinus pain.  I find that when I put a piece of cloth over my eyes and forehead as I go to sleep at night it holds the warmth in and reduces cold causing pain.\nSalt water rinses are OK, but will dry out the membranes if used too often.  A drop or two of olive oil added to the rinses would ease that condition.  There are numerous remedies, but I hesitate to give them as I am not a doctor, I'm merely an avid student of alternative remedies.\nShould you wish to have more references to good books on the matter, post a note to my site (if that is possible or permissible) and I'll do my best to help.

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/article2405.html\n\n\nCandida albicans is a naturally occurring yeast in the body. Sometimes it can overgrow and a person may have too much yeast in the body. This is one of the causes of damage to the gut lining which can cause inflammatory responses to food. If you come back with a positive result you are advised to treat this by following an anti-candida diet – all the instructions are given in the Help Notes which accompany the test results.\n\nhttp://www.candida-albicans-yeast-infection.com/AlkalizeorDie.html

If you want to try a natural remedy, there is formulas available for care of the uterus and ovaries.  If you pop into your local health store and ask.  If they don't know, then they usually have a book that they can look through.  An alternative, natural remedy may well be worth a try since you've been putting up with this for two years now.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

Definition: Overgrowth of yeast can affect the skin (yeast rash ), mouth (thrush), digestive tract, esophagus, vagina ( vaginitis ), and other parts of the body. Yeast infections occur most frequently in moist areas of the body. Although Candida albicans and other Candida yeasts are the most frequent offenders, other yeast groups are known to cause illness, primarily in immunocompromised patients. These include Torulopsis, Cryptococcus, Malassezia, and Trichosporon yeasts. Diagnosis is by observation, and can be confirmed by culturing a stool or mucosa sample, or a scraping from the affected area. Treatment is by topical or oral antifungal medications. Acidophilous, a helpful bacteria that normally helps to keep yeast in check, can also be tried in supplement form or in yogurt with live cultures. See also Candida albicans, candidiasis, thrush, yeast vaginitis , yeast  rash.\n\nFor a vaginal yeast infection, an over-the-counter topical cream or suppository (a pill that dissolves in the vagina) containing miconazole or clotrimazole is typically suggested.  If over-the-counter medications are not effective, your doctor may prescribe a cream with terconazole or an oral antifungal drug containing fluconazole. \n\nHow Can I Prevent It? \n\n\nIf work keeps your hands in water for long periods, wear rubber gloves.  When you're done, wash your hands and apply a mild prescription or over-the-counter antifungal cream. \nWear cotton or silk underclothes, which, unlike nylon and other synthetics, allow excess moisture to evaporate. Wash and dry your underclothes thoroughly; change them often. \nDouching or using deodorant feminine hygiene sprays, tampons, sanitary pads or toliet paper can increase your chances of getting a vaginal yeast infection.  It may be helpful to eat yogurt in an effort to replenish the good bacteria that help your body combat the overgrowth of yeast.\n\nVaginal infections can be triggered by dozens of daily things, such as your sexual behavior, hormones (including hormonal contraceptives, changes in menstrual cycle), vaginal blood (from your period, irregular bleeding, etc.), anything inserted into the vagina (diaphragm, tampons, strings from an IUD), or medications (antibiotics, douching agents, antifungal agents, spermicides). Studies have even found that women from different races have different vaginal ecosystems, predisposing some groups of women to more vaginal infections than others. \n\nHope all that helps!

st john's is the herbal alternative, however, if you find an other one, it probably wont work either.  Just get the scrip or try therapy for the time being (it works great)

Yeast organisms are always present in all people, but are usually prevented from "overgrowth" (uncontrolled multiplication resulting in symptoms) by naturally occurring microorganisms.\nCandidiasis is alleged to be successfully treated either with home remedies or, in the case of a more severe infection, with either over the counter or prescription antifungal medications. Home remedies for candidiasis include the consumption or direct application of yogurt, which contains lactobacillus (probiotics, "friendly" bacteria that kill yeast), acidophilus tablets or salves, and even lightly crushed cloves of garlic, which yield allicin, an antifungal. Boric acid has also been used to treat yeast infections. \n indicated, an underlying reason should be looked for. As an example, oral candidiasis is often linked to the use of inhaled steroids in asthma medication. Patients on long term inhaled steroids should rinse their mouth after each dose of steroids. It can also be the first sign of a more serious condition, such as HIV.
