Could you dilute listerine with water and rinse not douche your vagina for a yeast infection?

Not effective: Listerine kills bacteria, but for a yeast infection you need a different medicine. Try the over-the-counter Monistat cream that can penetrate the tissues where the yeast spreads.

Not recommended: However, from the recent study for oral mucosa: "The researchers also found that Listerine decreased the viability of candida albicans." Listerine..."resulted in a significant reduction in palatal inflammation and candidal colonization of dentures and palatal mucosa..." For vaginal mucosa is not recommended.
