I’m sure you’ve all seen those vampire movies when vampires squeal in terror when exposed to garlic. Well, although it’s not quite the same, yeast also has a deep-rooted hatred of garlic. So much so that garlic can actually be used as a pretty effective yeast infection remedy. So, ‘Does garlic work to treat yeast infection?’, the answer is yes. Find out more below.
I’m assuming you’re not particularly interested in why garlic treats a yeast infection, after all, who bothers learning these things when you’re scratching the infection? First of all, it is enough to know that you need to apply garlic to the affected area. To do this I prefer to buy some garlic paste from the supermarket, make sure it is 100% refined garlic in paste form. You can take this and apply it on the affected area of your body.
Leave it on for about 20 and then rinse off under a lukewarm shower. Garlic can have a tendency to smell a bit, so a good thorough washing afterwards can be a good idea to really get that smell off you.
If you have a yeast infection, you can also use a clove of garlic. It can be uncomfortable, but you can then insert the garlic clove into your vagina and leave it there for the course of the day. After 2-3 days of this treatment, you should feel significant relief from your yeast infection symptoms and it will certainly show you that garlic can help cure a yeast infection. If you’ve had a yeast infection before and suspect it’s happening again, this technique can help cure it almost overnight. However, if you are unsure, it is always best to seek the advice of a medical professional.
