Garlic Douche: an ancient art
Dear Friends
An old and natural practice to treat vaginal yeast infections is the vaginal douche using a good collection of lactic acid bacteria, such as the Lactobacillus species found within our Original Synbiotic formula, along with a clove of freshly reacted garlic in warmish water. The following protocol makes this an easy process:
We’ve seen in our April 24th Forward Thinking and earlier in the April 12th newsletter that according to current research certain Lactobacillus species taken orally with garlic can be a very effective protocol for treating both vaginosis and candidiasis respectively.

The Art of Douche: for Candidiasis and Vaginosis Support
- Garlic, organic: 1 capsule opened into 2 cups of water, along with:
- Original Synbiotic: 1-2 tsp in the 2 cups of water
Direction: First, pour the whole garlic clove powder from one 400mg capsule into 2 cups of water, stir and let the garlic react for a minute as the allicin forms. Then mix in 1 to 2 tsp of the Original Synbiotic. That’s it. Make this your douching ingredients. Douche for 2 to 6 days. Wash carefully the outer area after douching.
