Ok, so I haven't been very well lately and my immunity is VERY low at the moment. And on top of being dosed up with several types of meds, one of them being antibiotics, I get the worst thrush of my LIFE!! I'm talking very bad, so swollen I didn't want to sit down, so painfully itchy and terrible discharge.

At my wits end, and not in a very financially sound situation, I could not afford the over the counter fancy creams and capsules (they don't work that well anyway), so I turned to the internet and found...garlic!

One whole clove of garlic, skin peeled off and if the infection is really bad, get a knife and put tiny punctures all over the skin of the garlic. Just before bed, slip it into your vagina with one finger far enough so you don't feel it (so you don't notice it and keep thinking about it) and in the morning just fish it out or let it fall out while you are urinating in the morning. Let me tell you, no swelling, no bad smell, very normal discharge. This is the best thing I have ever found, and it works overnight!

I have read some women saying 'don't do that it will get stuck in your cervix' - no it cannot. Simply impossible. Unless pushed with incredible force right up against your cervix, it won't happen.

Also, I have read a lot of women say 'the garlic will burn the mucous membrane in your vagina and it will never heal' - again, also wrong. The garlic is killing off the candida bacteria (or yeast) that has taken over your vagina and isn't so worried about the natural mucous membrane. It doesn't hurt at all, doesn't sting, although it does smell a teeny bit like garlic hehe. That will go away really quick.

So, this is the best thrush treatment I have EVER used (I have had it several times, nerly all due to me being put on antibiotics). I have never had such a fast acting cure, or a cheaper one (it cost me $0.20 to buy three cloves of garlic from the supermarket)!!I have heard natural yoghurt is very good but I never found it to be much use.

If you have thrush, I suggest you try it!!!
