natural live yoghurt - thrush?

Question

so you dip the tampon in the yoghurt, and leave it in for how long?

Answer 1

DO NOT use a tampon to insert the yogurt!

Tampons cause vaginal infections such as thrush by preventing vaginal cleaning, giving bacteria and yeast a pores place to multiply, and if using commercial tampons they will also introduce chemicals to your vagina that can throw the vaginal pH out and so in turn throwing the balance of natural vaginal flora out. Yogurt is used for vaginal infections because it contains lactobacillus acidophilus that also happens to be bacteria found in healthy vaginas, it works because if produces hydrogen peroxide that kills the excess yeast in the vagina.

Introduce something like tampons that would be bad for vaginal health then that may cancel out the beneficial properties of the yogurt to treat the infection. Also of course tampons used when not menstruating puts you at unnecessary risk that is further amplified by the fact the tampons when inserted into the vagina will absorb discharge adding further to the risk of vaginal splitting.

You would use plain pro-biotic yogurt by putting it into your vagina and over the vulva before you go to bed, then rinse it off in the morning. For during the day time get yourself some tampon applicators, put the yogurt into the applicators and freeze them, you then have little yogurt suppositories that will melt once inserted.

I would not advise walking around with yogurt in your vagina all day, it would smell after a while, so not suitable for when you are say at work and unable to wash it out and re-apply, I would instead advise you use a little diluted tea tree oil to wash your vulva and put into your vagina for during the day.

I think the only way really think about it isn't trying to find the barriers to people purchasing the product is more trying to update the packaging and make it look more modern and also getting the product out and in plain view next to the rest of the other products. Don't ferret it away in the part of the store next to the rest of the natural products most people don't go there! Put it right on the shelf next to the regular products with some sort of big red star on it or something. Not to mention that I'm not particularily crazy about the flavor of ginger, hops and clay in my toothepaste. What exactly does natural mean anyway? What is the industry standard definition of natual these days? Is it truly ALL natural or do you only need a certain percentage of ingredients to be natural to stamp that on your label? Kind of like how whole wheat bread only has to contain a small % of whole grains to be able to label it "whole wheat" and hike up the price. When I read Tom's ingredients I'm just as confused as when I read Crest or Colgates. Personally Poloxamer 335 and 407 doesn't have the ring of an "all natual" ingredient. In the end I would need a good reason NOT to use the other more traditional brands before I would consider switching.

I have never heard of it actually being put on a tampon and inserted, and I think this could casue problems...I certainly wouldn't want to try it.
But yoghurt, applied with clean hands around the outer area, is very soothing. Cold is better! :) I have used it in the past and my best friend who is diabetic never uses anything else for her frequent bouts of thrush.
Ignore the people who very obviously don't know what they are talking about ;)

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/YYO5F

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Answer 7

You do not dip the tampon in the yoghurt and leave it in for how long at all (thats madness I tell you), please do not attempt this. The only time you should wear a tampon is when your having a period. Apply yoghurt EXTERNALLY not INTERNALLY. To ensure getting rid of thrush go see your doctor so he or she can perscribe you something for gods sake as you may need an antibiotic aswell as a Canastan pessary insert.

Answer 8

yes you can use live yogurt on a tampon to help cure vaginal thrush just leave it in the same as you would a tampon. Best overnight as you are lying down. other things that could help are not using fabric softeners or bubble bath etc in the bath.

Answer 9

Apply the yoghurt after a bath or shower, leave it on overnight,then wash completely of the next morning
