Garlic kills yeast. Those who bake bread know how not to add garlic while the dough is rising or it will kill the yeast. Instead, garlic is added to the dough after it has risen, just before baking it in the oven.

A fresh garlic clove can easily cure a yeast infection. The trick is to catch the infection early. A woman who suffers from frequent yeast infections knows the feeling well. The first day, she feels just a tickle of itchiness that comes and goes. The next day, or sometimes two or three days later, the womanly discharge starts to look white and lumpy like tiny bits of cottage cheese. By this time, she has a full-blown yeast infection and the lips of the womanliness are often red and sore.

If a woman can pay attention to the first tickling of the yeast infection, she can use the following treatment. Take a clove of fresh garlic and peel off the natural white paper shell that covers it, leaving the clove intact. At bedtime, put the clove into the womanliness. In the morning, remove the garlic clove and throw it in the toilet. The garlic often causes the womanliness to have a watery discharge.

One night's treatment may be enough to kill the infection, or it might have to be repeated the next night. Continue one or two days until all itchiness is gone. The reason that the treatment is done at bedtime is that there is a connection between the mouth and the womanliness. The moment the garlic is placed in the womanliness, the taste of the garlic travels up to the mouth. Most people will find this strong flavor annoying during the day, so the treatment is recommended for nighttime. Read more about suchlikes at http://nutrivalve.com/category/stds-tips/

How would the men treat it?

People advise women to do detasteful and barbaric things that are non medical and lead to more harm rather than help.
Every woman should be wise and what is wrong in going to see your doctor? We love cheap things and cheap things will put us into trouble.
For the fact that garlic is hot to taste on the lips does not mean is good for treating infections. In fact you are adding more harm to yourself by doing that.
