I have heard of eating garlic to help cure the infection! Natural yogurt with live cultures is great. Insert 2tbl spoons in the evening and leave in all night. By morning the good bacteria should have killed a far amount of the bad bacteria. You can also eat natural yogurt, no less than 300grams a day. This could take 7 to 14 days to clear up. Once it has cleared keep eating the yogurt for a couple of weeks, even just 3 servings a week, to stop the infection reoccuring. Try wearing cotton underwear and loose fitting clothing also. This helps to air the area.
I hope this has helped you.
Garlic isn’t a treatment for yeast infections. And I’ve never heard it to be beneficial. What is beneficial in preventing them is eating acidophilous yoghurt on most days. Acidophilous yoghurt has lot’s of good bacteria in it that helps to keep yeast infections at bay, because the reason for yeast infections in the first place is usually due to the decrease in the vagina’s natural bacteria, and this can happen due to various reasons. Also, do you wear cotton breathable knickers? This is essential to keep good airflow around the vaginal area – silky pretty knickers are no good for vaginal health as when you get hot/sweaty down there it’s hard to stay dry. Another thing you could try is wearing panyliners regularly and changing them about 3 times a day, this is a good way to stay fresh and dry down there. Also, when you shower just use plain warm water when cleaning the genital area, soaps and shower gels are a great irritant and perfect for causing your yeast infection to reoccur when you are alsready so prone to them. I hope I’ve healped you, if even a little bit. Good luck, I hope it gets sorted for you soon as it is rather uncomfortable
