You can simply crush up the clove if you don’t wish to use the clove as a whole. It may feel uncomfortable, but works well for many. Keep your vaginal area clean, but refrain from douching. When you take a shower, clean your private region. Lightly clean the entire area with water and some gentle soap. This will prevent yeast from growing in the warm, moist crevices. Douching, however, disturbs the natural PH balance of the area and is not recommended.

Lactobacilius acidophilis is a natural culture, and your friend. It is a live culture found in certain yogurts and can really slow the growth of yeast bacteria from building up. If you have to eat yogurt to get this culture, eat the sugar-free kind. Yeast need to eat sugar, so the more you take in, the more they can reproduce.
