With three out of every four women suffering from yeast infections,the industry for Over-The-Counter yeast infection treatments has become very profitable. These treatments usually cost around fifteen to twenty-five dollars and prescription medications cost even more. You also have to factor in the cost of the doctor's visit to get the prescription. Over the counter yeast infection pills are not cheap and hardly worth using either when considering the alternatives that exist.

However, there are many remedies that you can do in your own home which are much more cost efficient.

Best Alternative Treatment to OTC Drugs #1

One of the most popular ways to treat a yeast infection without over the counter or prescription medicine is using yogurt. Buy a container of un-pasteurized, plain yogurt (do not buy the flavored kind and make sure this is no sugar in the plain yogurt). This will probably cost you less than a dollar. With a small spoon, spatula, or vaginal cream applicator, insert the yogurt directly into the vagina. It also helps to coat the entire area with yogurt, as it is soothing. You will want to wear a pad while on this treatment to prevent messes. Repeat for three to seven days, until symptoms disappear. You can also freeze the yogurt in plastic tampon applicators, which some find to make insertion easier and the cold can be very soothing for the itching and burning sensation.

Best Alternative Treatment to OTC Drugs #2

Another low-cost method is using a clove of garlic wrapped in gauze as a suppository. Garlic is very effective at fighting fungus. Be sure to tie a piece of floss or string to the end so that you will be able to easily remove the suppository. You should do this in the evening and leave it in all night, but not more than eight hours. It can be repeated during the day as well, but you may not want to do this if you use a communal restroom as the garlic smell can be quite strong.
