Today, I was sitting the living room, when my mom commented on the smell of garlic in the air. After ten minutes of searching for the source, she gave up. I was too embarrassed to admit that I'd tried using garlic to cure my yeast infection. FML

I wonder if Bella did that. It would explain why Edward Cullen avoided sex with her for so long.

Put some flour and some butter in your pants. It won't cure anything, but garlic bread you'll make will be delicious!

Use natural yogurt, why would you use garlic..? ._.

Finally someone with a good idea! Yes, eating yogurt helps and often prevents yeast infections.

107 - it doesn't help all that much unless you eat a shitload. What she means is use it the same way you'd use an internal cream. That's a lot nastier and messier than a clove of garlic, and takes longer to work. Not to mention Greek yoghurt is expensive as ****.

Monostat doesn't work for some and causes worse infection. Garlic is actually recommended by a lot of OB's since garlic kills yeast. Granted, you're only supposed to use a small amount and have it wrapped in some way

You know there's over the counter stuff for that? It works almost all the time and is pretty cheap. :P

When home remedies go bad!!! Try yogurt on a tampon. No, not yoplait. The REAL yogurt in its purest form. If you consume it daily, it will keep you balanced. Good luck!!

Haha! I refuse to eat tampons even if it does cure yeast infections. But I do commend you and your strong stomach... ;-p

What could have made you think garlic can cure yeast infections?! What was going through your mind? Might as well try and use the whole cabinate to cure it, darling, have you not heard of vagisil or douches? :)

Actually douches can cause yeast infections.

Douching is one of the worst possible things you can do to your vaginal health, as confirmed by pretty much any medical-related source that isn't related to people selling douches. I don't know if garlic works, and what would be the best treatment/application, but it is a known natural antifungal. Sorry but I'd go with the garlic. Oh well, taking care of ladyparts is tricky business, mainly because how taboo the subject is, and subsequently all the crap "lady hygiene" products that has been peddled by crooks and whoever else took the fancy. Have you ever seen those creepy Lysol ads from the 50s? Sure let's flush our ladybits with this ~totally safe~ scented "germ-killing" product so we can smell "dainty"! Huzzah!
