Garlic is useful for female yeast infections as well.
I hear cranberry juice (not punch) is best.

No, that's for urinary tract infections, not yeast infections...
I must be getting old, I know that.
I add cranberry juice to cocktails just because I like it. :-)
Yogurt and vinegar douche is the old remedy for Yeast, but garlic works
better. I've not been bothered by it for awhile but last time I did,
pigging out on garlic actually worked. I also recommended it to my best
friend last time she had a problem with it and donated 10 heads of
garlic to the cause. Fortunately, she _likes_ garlic! It worked for her
as well.
I think it would help to have an Italian boyfriend;-)
Eaten in recipes, NOT made into a douche.
Pardon for the semi-off-topic post, but one can grow garlic too. g
Like other foods, it's very medicinal.
I knew about garlic for B.P. but not yeast infections. Odd though, I
would have thought that garlic and fungi would have gotten along, yhey
do in my kitchen

Medicinal garden foods might make an interesting thread...
Did you know that a thyme flower decoction is anti-bacterial and used as
a gargle is good for sore throats? Sorry, we weren't talking nose and
throats, were we?
I have trouble growing garlic. I'm probably not doing it right.
Never been able to get it to "clove" for me, but onions did ok. They
seem to like sandier soil. But, with the cost of water here, it's
cheaper for me anymore to purchase most veggies instead of trying to
grow them. :-(
I've already ordered mine for this fall. I'm using the shot-gun
approach. I'm planting several types in different spots on my north
facing hillside.
Later and thanks for the catch.
Thanks to Jan too for the garlic website
