Tea Tree Oil & Garlic (WAS: Systemic Yeast)

May 8, 2003

I did a garlic oil douche for a yeast infection. It worked well, but it stunk.

i can't imagine that tea tree oil would smell better. it has a strong scent!

I used a garlic clove internally for yeast before. Years back I had yeast infections often. I took a piece of clove, peeled it, double tied some dental floss through a poked hole in the garlic and inserted it. Didnt burn or feel like anything. Within an hour or two itching was gone. Within the day the yeast infection was gone. Never had to put in another clove.

And you know what? No yeast infection at all since - and its been years. Pretty amazing! And I never noticed a smell or anything.

For me the best has been to smear yoghurt on it! Works like a charm :-)

I'm sure it's all different strains, and also it's a question of individuality and how the body reacts to it. that's why not everyone responds to the same treatments, no matter what they are.To use boric acid you buy some of those clear gel caps, 00 size, fill it with boric acid and shove it up yourself before bed. I don't know why it's okay to use given that it is rat poison. You have to be very careful not to ingest it. I guess not much absorption happens in the vagina.ILANA xoxoErinJC23 wrote:

Wonder why it didn't work as well for you then? (pondering) That sucks, Im sorry. How do you use the boric acid?Erin Federal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1.
