Use four to six tablespoons of herb mixture per quart of water. Add herbs to cold water and bring to a simmer over low heat. Keep pot covered. Remove from heat immediately and let steep twenty minutes. Strain. This tea will be quite bitter, so you may wish to mix it with cranberry juice.

DOUCHE FOR YEAST INFECTIONS

you may douche every few days (or if the infection is severe, each day) with the following formula:

1/2 ounce Anti - Yeast Tea

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon acidophilus culture or 1/4 cup yogurt

Tiny drop of TEA TREE OIL

Steep the herb formula in one quart of water for one hour. Strain. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. When the mixture has sufficiently cooled(it should be warm, but not hot) place in a douche bag, and very gently, using a slow flow, douche with the mixture.

GARLIC SUPPOSITORIES FOR YEAST INFECTIONS

Quick to make, easy to apply, and very effective, garlic suppositories are a favorite remedy of many women.

~ Carefully peel a clove of GARLIC

(Some women caution against nicking the garlic in the peeling process as they claim the oil can burn the vaginal lining. Most women don't find this a problem, and say that the garlic should be nicked or bruised in order for the disinfecting oil to be released. If you have a particularly sensitive vaginal lining, it is better to be careful when preparing the garlic.)

~ Wrap a piece of thin gauze around the garlic , fold the gauze in half, and twist into a tail. It will look vaguely like a homemade tampon with a tail.

~ Insert the garlic suppository well inside the vaginal cavity. For easier insertion, a small amount of oil can be rubbed on the end of the suppository.

A fresh suppository should be inserted every three to five hours and the old one removed. Repeat for three to five days until the infection is gone.
