So, I got the idea to post this from lauriebells thread on honey. This is not for the overly squeemish.
I don't get many yeast infections, maybe one every two years. Obviously though, they are not fun. I especially hate the really awful smelling slime that you have to inject into yourself for the bargain price of $20. Yuck! Eff that.
My last two YI have been treated better and cheaper with stuff that most people have at home every day. All you need is a clove of garlic and honey (pref. organic)
Take the garlic and peel it without cutting. Then, insert (like a tampon). If you are worried about loosing it, you can thread the clove with some string. Me, I just pop it in. To treat any exterior itching and pain, sit somewhere where you won't make a mess (I just sit in the empty bathtub) and apply honey liberally to all affected areas. Sit for at least 10 minutes. (I read a book). Then rinse gently in warm water.
The relief is immeadiate. Change over the garlic clove twice a day for three days just to make sure it is completely gone. Do the honey masque again if you need. Both times I did this I had no symptoms after the first day. Stop putting your money in the pockets of the makers of that over-priced ineffectual slime.
P.S. I know what you are thinking, but the garlic really doesn't make you smell. The clove remains in tact and really, it is not noticable.
