According to my cousin who is next to me and is a gynocologist he says no. He says in order to cure yeast infection with the garlic trick you must insert a garlic suppository. Carefully peel one clove of garlic. Wrap in gauze and insert into the vagina. Leave in for up to twelve hours. Repeat as necessary. It also helps to eat a lot of garlic or the easy way get over the counter medicines, ask a pharmacist.
To the guys before me, yes yeast infection sounds bad but over 80% of women get it in their lifetimes, so its quite common.
yes! go for the stank
The use of garlic powder is not recommended. The dried, powdered garlic is lacking in the volitile oils that you body needs to help fight the infection. Try reading Herbal Healing for Women (http://www.amazon.com/Herbal-Healing-Women-Rosemary-Gladstar/dp/0671767674) by Rosemary Gladstar. She is a very well known herbalist and I have learned so much from her. A fresh garlic clove in gauze is a good natural treatment; use it like a tampon and hold it in there up to 12 hours. Change as often as needed until infection is cleared. Garlic is not only good for your heart, but it’s also a natural antibiotic. I have also used the juice of a fresh cut lemon or boric acid capsules I make at home. Please do not douche, this will only make it worse. There’s also an over-the-counter homeopathic treatment called Azo-Yeast that is also affective without the harshness of medicines that doctors will give you. See how that works for you.
You can try it if you want; it won’t hurt anything. But, the best bet for a yeast infection is Grapefruit Seed Extract. It comes in liquid form, and also pill with can be taken. I much prefer the speed of GSE as a douche.
You can find Grapefruit Seed Extract at your local health food store, or for a cheaper option try http://www.iherb.com – search for Nutirbiotic Grapefruit Seed extract. The shipping is very fast. Use coupon code KES097 for $5 off your first order (can only be used once). The GSE is also great for sore throats, fungus, ear infections, lots of stuff. No medicine cabinet should be without it. You should always dilute the liquid.
Also, add a probiotic pill every morning to help keep bacteria and yeast in proper balance so issues don’t recur. Cut out excess refined sugars as they feed yeast.
Best to you!
