No, that's for urinary tract infections, not yeast infections...

I add cranberry juice to cocktails just because I like it. :-)

Yogurt and vinegar douche is the old remedy for Yeast, but garlic works 
better.  I've not been bothered by it for awhile but last time I did, 
pigging out on garlic actually worked.  I also recommended it to my best 
friend last time she had a problem with it and donated 10 heads of 
garlic to the cause. Fortunately, she _likes_ garlic! It worked for her 
as well.

Eaten in recipes, NOT made into a douche.

Pardon for the semi-off-topic post, but one can grow garlic too. <g>
Like other foods, it's very medicinal.

Medicinal garden foods might make an interesting thread...
I have trouble growing garlic. I'm probably not doing it right.
Never been able to get it to "clove" for me, but onions did ok. They 
seem to like sandier soil. But, with the cost of water here, it's 
cheaper for me anymore to purchase most veggies instead of trying to 
grow them. :-(
