Has anyone here tried coconut oil for yeast infections? I applied this oil directly to my affected areas. It didn't soothe my irritation, left my greasy skin and triggered tiny, painful sores around my skin areas. I don't think I'm allergic to coconut oil because I used to use it as facial moisturizer with good results.

    For a vaginal infection, a warm baking soda bath helps, or vagisil cream for irritation.  A vinegar & water douche every so often.  Natural stuff like vinegar & baking soda are always best.  For skin related yeast elsewhere, the best stuff is plain old Vick’s Vapo Rub.  It soothes & heals, works like magic.  Yeast does not like vinegar, menthol and similar ingredients.  Another suggestion, order Defense soap, bars, liquids or wipes from Amazon.  Anti-fungal & anti-yeast.  The best stuff.

    Coconut oil taken internally can help with yeast infections, just help not prevent or cure as far as I know, maybe take a lot? Turmeric is very good for yeast infections, buy the big bulk Laxmi brand and take daily heaping teaspoon. The lime citrus blended cure is the best I have seen for get rid of them.

    Hi Jane,

    Hope you are well 😃 For a vaginal infection it can work well. Although in your case it sounds like you are allergic to it. It's good when used in conjunction with a few drops of essential oil such as tea tee or manuka oil. I would suggest anyone who is looking for an alternative treatment to look for a natural thrush treatment with coconut oil, manuka oil and tea tree oil.
