This specially formulated blend is to support recovery from vaginal yeast infections.
Safety first, kids!
It’s important when treating yeast that you’re sure it’s actually yeast, confirmed by a test. If you don’t know what microbes you have, please get a microbiome test or culture from your doctor as soon as possible.
The yeast blend contains some lactulose, which promotes lactobacilli growth. Lactobacilli promote vaginal acidity, which is a positive thing, and helps deter yeast from reproducing.
Lactulose can also feed some urinary tract or aerobic vaginitis pathogens, so use caution in those circumstances. See the list of bugs that love lactulose.
Do not use this blend if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
Do not use herbal blends if you are pregnant, and use with practitioner guidance during breastfeeding.
What you get in your herbal blend kit
- Yeast/Thrush Vaginal Pessary 50ml with dropper
- 50 vagina-safe vegetable capsules
Each herbal blend kit from My Vagina comes with everything you need to get started, but these are your instructions so please refer back here.
When to start your yeast treatment
If you have a yeast infection, start using the blend immediately. If you are prone to yeast infections, and have cyclic recurrences, start the blend a couple of days before you would normally experience symptoms, and continue through the usual yeast infection time.
If a yeast infection continues through the blend, double the dose and use as much as is needed to reduce your symptoms. Continue for one day after symptoms subside.
How to use your yeast herbal blend
How to do your yeast treatment
If you have a current yeast infection, use 1-4 capsules vaginally per day to relieve symptoms. You can use more if need be, but aim to use the least possible to achieve relief rather than overdoing it. Use one capsule at a time and see how you respond, adding more as needed.
The vegetable capsules will dissolve, releasing their contents into your vagina.
If you suffer chronic yeast infections, or cyclic yeast infections, it can be useful to do treatments before you think you will have an infection, and for the duration that it would normally last for.
If you continue to have yeast infections despite treatment, you likely have a greater issue going on under the hood and some further care from one of My Vagina’s vulvovaginal specialist naturopaths is advised.
Tips and tricks for using the Yeast/Thrush Vaginal Pessary
- During the day, you may want to wear a panty liner to mop up any drips
- Dunk vegetable capsules in water before insertion for faster dissolving
- Protect bedding or clothing from leaks
- What to do if your vaginal pessary burns
Sex and yeast treatments
There is no reason you can’t have sex while using this treatment, but it’s usually more practical to avoid penetration or receiving oral sex, as your partner will get treatment on their genitals or mouth. If you’re using condoms, the blend contains oil and is not latex condom safe.
It’s also useful to avoid diluting or spread the treatment around too much, as you want it in the vagina so it can treat the yeast. Additionally, yeast can be sexually transmitted.
Treatment additions for stubborn yeast
If you’re experiencing regular yeast infections, add the Kolorex Oral Supplement to treat digestive yeast reservoirs. If you’re not getting the results you’re after, please book with a My Vagina vulvovaginal specialist practitioner for effective, personalised 100% holistic yeast treatments. We can help.
