No. Yeast infections are caused by an over population of yeast microbes in the vagina. The population is normally controlled by a kind of bacteria that also lives there. If there is any sort of imbalance the bacteria may die off and allow the yeast cells to take over. You need a medication to kill the yeast. Monistat is an effective over the counter drug sold to treat yeast infections. Never ever douche! This can wash away the bacteria that are supposed to be there as well as dry out the vaginal membranes. It can also push harmful bacteria further inside causing a more serious condition.
