Vinegar and salt sitz bath

by Brigitte
(Buffalo, Ny)

Draw a warm bath and add one cup of salt and two or more cups of vinegar, preferably raw vinegar. I have used plain grocery store white vinegar, and it has worked. This will restore the natural acidic environment of your vagina- this is good for yeast infections that are just starting. With a raging infection, I have taken two baths a days for a week, and it just put a dent in the infection. But this has shut down early infections within three days.

This recipe can also be a douche, but be sure you mix the vinegar and salt with at least three cups of water. Afterwards, my vagina feels very dry and raw, but it brings some serious relief- Within a half an hour my itching and burning no longer drives me insane.
