Remedy mild thrush not for the squeamish!

I started this years ago after reading it somewhere and being too broke to buy the proper medicine. I also used it just now in the aftermath of hurricane Wilma.

The first day I notice the itchiness and burning I get a large piece of garlic smash it and smear it all over outside and as far inside as I can.

It burns stings and really hurts for a few seconds. Then I take it out once these sensations an the itching subside. I have a good wash to get rid of the odor (cool water only of course). I do this once and the symptoms vanish instantly not to return. Much cheaper than diflucan!

I've read about inserting garlic cloves or capsules, but not crushing them. Glad to hear it works for you! Does discharge go away?

Please don't try this until you have first discussed it with a physician.

Thank you Donna.

July, in my case it goes away but I have always caught it early and I appreciate that others may have more severe symptoms.
