The Different Methods of Using Garlic Yeast Infection Remedy

But like I said, the pungent smell is not something that many people can take the thought of stomaching. Having said that I have known some people to submerge whole cloves of garlic in a jar of bee’s honey, at which point they let it sit for sometime soaking up the honey into the garlic. Apparently the garlic doesn’t taste as bad that way, but it’s really all down to your taste buds.

For myself personally I can’t stand the thought of eating raw garlic in whatever form it comes in. I do however use it in cooking and that way I can enjoy it, but if it’s raw you want then I wish you joy of it! If you do suffer from recurrent yeast infections though you might want to consider having the raw garlic either as a preventative measure to begin with, or as a cure for it.

The problem that comes with soaking the garlic in honey is that if you’re trying to cure your infection then adding honey to the mix is just like adding coal to a fire – yeast thrives on sweet stuff. As a preventative taking your garlic that way won’t necessarily be a problem, but you might want to stick to the unvarnished raw stuff for curing your yeast infection.

As Juice garlic can taste equally dreadful if you don’t like the taste of garlic to begin with. You can either mash the garlic into a pulp and mix with water, or you can be brave and just have the garlic juice pure without any water. I would recommend honey to sweeten things up but we know what can happen by introducing honey into our systems at this point.

Garlic could also be used as a Suppository. When I’m talking about a suppository, I’m talking about the type of thing that you will place inside your vagina, and not in any other bodily cavity. You can think of a garlic suppository as being a kind of yeast cure tampon. Take a whole garlic clove and peel it being careful not to make any cuts in it as these might sometimes sting.

Wrap the peeled clove in cheesecloth or gauze and tie with a suitable piece of string, or dental floss, whatever works really. And remember to keep a length of string dangling so that you can later pull it out. Next you can insert your garlic tampon into your vagina. Depending on the severity of your infection you can leave it in either for a few hours, or you can leave it in overnight.

In this case, then you might also want to think about using one of these in the morning as well. Or you also have the option of changing the garlic suppository every few hours. This works just as well and might in some cases be quite good for you to change it frequently.

If you don’t like the thought of raw garlic in any form then you might prefer the convenience you can get from garlic pills and tabs. You’ll also find that you can get readymade liquid garlic as well, if you want to go in for that. You just need to make sure that what you’re getting is made of natural ingredients. Anything else kind of defeats the purpose of using a natural home remedy. And if you can get the right kind of garlic tabs then you can also use these as a suppository instead of using a fresh clove of garlic. Although sensibly speaking, using a garlic suppository is more helpful and healthy than using a garlic douche. When needs must, I suppose.
