In my 20-year search for a natural cure for Candida Vaginitis, or vaginal yeast infections, I have asked many questions, studied early books on the subject, and tried almost everything suggested.
I learned to love the myriad flavors of the wonderful world of vegetables, to resist all delicious but forbidden fermented or sugary foods and drinks, to take probiotics and my bitter grapefruit seed extract in grapefruit juice (the only palatable way to ) religiously and shower. with vinegar water.
This all seemed to help my other Candida symptoms, but what really got me through vaginal itching better than any antifungal cream was also the cheapest: aged garlic oil in tampons.
I knew garlic was supposed to be antifungal, so i bought the less smelly old kind in capsules, poked a hole in 4-5 of them and squeezed the oil into a dry tampon, the small organic kind, and inserted it into my vagina.
I would change it 2-3 times a day and within a couple of days it was no longer itchy. It smelled bad, but it didn’t itch!
This was the best cure I found for Candida vaginitis, after using nystatin and over the counter creams. You have to wash your panties in very hot soapy water to get rid of the smell, and be aware that your body may exude the pungent smell of garlic if you don’t use the aged garlic oil.
Your fingers can also smell quite garlicky after handling garlic capsules and tampons. But a good scrub and some lemon juice can also help keep your hands smelling normal. And of course, there are other natural ways to cure candidiasis – yeast infection.
