Garlic
kills yeast. Those who bake bread know 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 vaginal 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 vagina are often red and
sore
