I personally have tried all three of the natural remedies I have talked about in other articles Garlic, Acidophilus, and Apple Cider Vinegar. I never had a yeast infection until I was pregnant with my fourth child. I was determined not to take or insert anything with medication. I am not really sure which one worked or if it was a combination of all three, but I did get rid of the yeast infection and have not had it since. The only thing I have to say about natural vs. over-the-counter medications is that the over-the-counter probably works a lot faster but is only a temporary fix. You need to get rid of the problem. I would suggest a healthy diet and eating a lot of garlic. Garlic is great for killing infection. I take it everyday and also give it to my kids. 

Although there are many over-the-counter remedies and natural home remedies, you should see a doctor to get properly diagnosed and evaluated.
