I hear cranberry juice (not punch) is best. à ta santé 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.
