The Doctors: Garlic Yeast Infection Remedy

Garlic has many uses, from adding flavor to foods to health cures like its application in lowering blood pressure. But can Garlic cure a yeast infection?

“Absolutely not,” Dr. Lisa Masterson said. “Especially if you have a yeast infection, you would never want to put something in there that caustic.”

She suggested that the garlic would even get stuck in the vagina. Talk to your doctor about treating your yeast infection.
