STRICTLY FOR WOMEN

Having worked in the Natural Health Profession for over 25 years I have never found a more immediate help for thrush than a clove of garlic.

Take a length of bandage gauze around 4 to 5 cm wide and 24 cm long. Peel one medium clove of garlic and bruise and damage surface a little so that the garlic juices are releasing.

Place the garlic clove halfway along the gauze strip in the middle area. Now fold over the end of the gauze so that you have the garlic clove at one end with the two ends of gauze covering each other. Now pick up by the covered garlic and begin to twist the gauze so that it hold the garlic clove securely.

Use this garlic vaginal suppository as you would a tampax and insert securely with the gauze strips outside the area. This should be left in place for around three hours and then changed for a new garlic suppository made in exactly the same way. Change again after three hours or so making three changes a day. It is quite safe to keep in place during the night for the time the cure takes.

Because of the strong antibiotic properties of the garlic you should be thrush free in three days. The thrush fungus will not thrive with garlic around. Eating garlic in your meals at this time is also good for boosting your immune system.

Make sure that you are helping yourself by using only natural washing soaps such as vegetable oil soaps or soaps with no perfumes and chemicals.

Start to check all your beauty products and especially those used in delicate areas. Our skins are not made for these chemical additions that are in every "normal" cosmetic and beauty product. Because of the pressure from the public it is easier now to search out Organic, essential oil Beauty products including wonderful natural body lotion, cleansers etc. if you are choosing Organic then its pretty certain that there will be no or fewer additives.

But remember the delicate parts of your body are best left completely natural with just the addition of vegetable soap and water which keeps the balance. Taking antibiotics for other conditions can also upset the balance of your own system in this area so be extra careful at these times.
