    WARNING! I used cider vinegar in a bath because I had repeating and persistent thrush. I used half the recommended amount and after the bath my vulva was burning - it was on fire! I think that is what contributed to my thrush turning into permanent vulva pain (vulvodynia) that took me 2 years of determination and several treatments to get rid of. When I told my dr about the cider vinegar bath she said she wasn’t surprised - I mean .... vinegar!
