Yes. This is a botanical alternative for women who prefer to avoid boric acid, clotrimazole, tioconazole, or synthetic antifungals. Yeast Free uses whole herbs and oils rather than chemical irritants, making it ideal for sensitive users or those seeking a more natural solution.

Boric acid can be effective but often causes burning, dryness, or microbiome imbalance. Goldenseal offers a gentler approach by supporting natural flora, calming irritation, and addressing yeast overgrowth with plant compounds rather than corrosive acids.

Yes—with proper guidance. Many midwives and holistic OBs recommend Yeast Free as a pregnancy-safe option when pharmaceutical antifungals aren’t preferred. Always consult your provider first, especially in early pregnancy or if you have a history of preterm labor.

Most women feel relief within one or two uses, with full symptom resolution typically within four to seven nights. Chronic or antibiotic-triggered yeast may require ten nights. (The same time period for bacterial vaginosis.)

Goldenseal salve is traditionally used to soothe and support skin and mucous membranes affected by yeast overgrowth, irritation, or minor infection. Because goldenseal is rich in berberine—a natural compound known for its antimicrobial and antifungal properties—it’s often applied to help calm itching, reduce redness, ease inflammation, and discourage Candida or bacterial imbalance. In topical form, goldenseal salve is commonly used for vaginal yeast support, fungal irritation, rashes, cuts, and areas where the skin needs gentle cleansing and rapid relief.

In MoonMaid’s formulas, goldenseal salve is the foundation of both Yeast Free Suppositories (internal use) and Flare Free Balm (external use), offering a clean herbal alternative tos ynthetic antifungal creams or boric acid treatments.

No — not in this formula. Yeast Free Suppositories contain only a tiny, carefully measured amount of tea tree oil, diluted within a full base of slow-infused olive oil, beeswax, and herbal extracts. The concentration is intentionally low so that most women do not notice it at all, even those with very sensitive vaginal tissue.

This is very different from the “tea tree suppositories” sold online, which often contain full-strength or high-percentage tea tree oil that can cause burning, dryness, or even irritation. Our formulation uses just enough tea tree to support cleansing and balance without the sharp, intense sensation associated with stronger preparations. (And we do know this sensation, we've used them!)

The result is gentle, comfortable, and effective — a botanical formula that soothes rather than stings.

Yes, many women use Yeast Free for both yeast infections and BV-style imbalance. The herbs in this formula—especially goldenseal, thyme, rosemary, and tea tree—have broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties that can help calm irritation, reduce odor, and support a healthier vaginal environment. While it was originally created with yeast in mind, a lot of customers report that it also helps with BV symptoms such as odor, discharge changes, and general discomfort.

That said, BV and yeast are not the same thing, and both can sometimes mimic a more serious infection. Should you experience a fever, dizziness, abdomen pains, or a deeper sense of unwell, we recommend seeing a doctor immediately.

Yes. Many women prone to UTIs also experience yeast flare-ups because antibiotics, hormonal shifts, and inflammation can disrupt the vaginal microbiome. While Yeast Free is not a UTI treatment, it can help maintain balance in the vaginal tissues, which may indirectly reduce irritation that sometimes triggers urinary discomfort.

If your symptoms include burning during urination, pelvic pressure, or frequent urges, always rule out a true UTI, as those typically require separate care.
