An estimated 75% of all women are likely to develop vaginal yeast infections sometime during their lives, and about half of these women probably will experience recurrent episodes. Studies have shown that there is a simple and effective source of relief from this troublesome infection--Boric Acid Suppositories.
Usually caused by the yeast Candida albicans, yeast infections typically are treated with oral antifungal medications (e.g., fluconazole) or topical antifungal medications (e.g., miconazole and clotrimazole). Boric acid suppositories inserted into the vagina also have been used for yeast infections. In one study of 92 women with chronic yeast vaginitis that had failed to respond to treatment with over-the-counter or prescription antifungal medicines, 98% of the women found relief by using boric acid capsules vaginally, twice per day for two-to-four weeks.
