Some women use ‘live’ natural yogurt to treat vaginal thrush. Although research shows that it isn’t effective as a treatment, it can help to ease your symptoms. Some women also use complementary or herbal medicines such as garlic and tea tree oil to treat vaginal thrush. None of these have been shown to work and may actually be harmful.
