Re: help please -- dreadful yeast infection/OT - topical

[Guest guest]

Hi Eilidh,

Here in Oz women's magazines often provide great tips.

I remember one many years ago now regarding thrush and topical application of

probiotic yoghurt - sounds a bit

messy doesn't it?

I haven't had thrush since I stopped using tampons and changed to a Ph balanced

non-perfumed soap many moons

ago, so I don't know if the yoghurt tip really does work, how good it is, or how

long it takes to have effect.

If you try it, some feedback would be good.

If you haven't already done so, also consider changing to a washing power for

sensitive skins to minimize

irritation.

I know of others who've placed drops of 100% pure Tee Tree Oil in their

bathwater twice a day with excellent

results within a couple of days. (Note: Tee Tree Oil is a powerful anti-fungal

and way too strong for direct

application on any sensitive area of the body.)

My family have never had any problems with direct application elsewhere on the

body (within reason), but I'll

add to that that none of us suffer any particular sensitivities, so we're not a

good example for those who do.

A skin test in advance is always advisable, and especially so if someone suffers

with sensitivities.

Kind regards,

Cris
