Q: I recently read of a very unobtrusive method of dealing with yeast infections and I can't even remotely remember what it was. Any interesting ideas out there?
-C.O.
My ob-gyn recommended threading a garlic clove and inserting it carefully into the vagina. After recurring cases of yeast infection toward the end of my pregnancy, I tried it. It worked!

I made a "tampon" by tying a peeled, unbroken clove of garlic into a small square of sterile gauze, leaving a tail for easy removal. I changed the garlic tampon every 24 hrs for 2 days. I was prepared for odors or discharge, but there was nothing unpleasant at all. The whole process was very easy and effective.
