A yeast infection is not a subject many care to discuss or even admit they have fallen victim to but the truth remains that at some time, many of us have been affected by this unpleasant part of life. So how can you avoid those nasty, uncomfortable cream treatments? Use this simple real food treatment to get your system back in balance, quickly and easily. It’s not messy and it’s safe for use during pregnancy.
For Women:
Fresh, peeled, whole garlic cloves (often referred to as the poor man’s antibiotic)Chewable acidophilus wafers (available at your local healthy food/supplement store)
Directions for Use:
- First half of the day (for example breakfast to lunch) insert garlic clove into vagina. It will probably work its way down but just keeping pushing it up till time has expired. Remove with finger or simply push it out.
- Then insert one acidophilus wafer. It will dissolve, so need to remove it. If you have purchased a flavored wafer, you may notice slightly tinted discharge. No need to worry, just a result of the dissolved wafer.
- Repeat this process for 3-5 days, although I’ve never had it take over 3 days to remedy the infection.
For Children- boys included:
Aged garlic extract liquid (I’ve used the brand- Kyolic)
Chewable acidophilus wafers (available at your local healthy food/supplement store)
Directions for Use:
- Everything is ingested by mouth for children. Start by taking ¼ tsp of garlic extract after morning and evening meals
- After lunch meal have the child eat one acidophilus wafer
- Repeat daily till infection is gone. This method can take a little longer.
