You may wonder if vinegar does get rid of thrush? Most of us have read such things on the internet or heard it somewhere. Well, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Vinegar alone will not get you rid of thrush.

First of all, using vinegar in food if you have chronic thrush is not really are good idea since vinegar feeds the yeast fungus in your body. But used externally, apple cider vinegar can soothe some of the itchiness down there. So, yeah it is a quick home cure for getting relief from vaginal thrush symptoms. But, curing thrush competely it depends.

You should use only apple cuder vinegar for a quick home cure for vaginal thrush, other types of vinegar are not so effective. Also, you should use it only externally. So, if you thought that drinking vinegar to get rid of internal thrush is the best way to go, you are wrong.

Most of the time, women to get relief from vaginal itchiness and foul smell, mix vinegar with warm water and take a bath. Since it is alkaline, it helps restore the right pH for vagina and get rid of itchiness.

Apple cider vinegar is not so effective in curing vainal thrush compared with other home remedies for thrush such as yogurt or tea tree oil. If you are looking for a fast way to get relief from vaginal candida and you don’t want to slash another £11 for a Canesten pessary, you should try using plain yogurt.

Those home remedies are nice, yet they do not solve the main causes of you getting thrush in the first place. If you are having this infection once in a while, there is nothing to worry about, as most of women do get it once in their lifetime. The main issue is for those who experience persistent thrush infections. If you are one of them, then you may want to consider having probiotics for thrush instead.
