Women are being warned not to stick garlic in their vagina

Back in the day, old wives tales were considered gospel in all matter of things. From spilled salt that will bring you bad luck. If ya ears are ringing, someone’s talking s**t about ya. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Pullin’ out a grey pube will make 10 more appear in its place and heaps of others. Some of them have a sound history or explanation, and other’s are deadset B.S. 

In 2019, the focus is on an old wives tale that says putting a garlic clove in ya lady cove will cure a yeast infection.

There has been a recent resurgence back to natural home remedies and keepin’ everything bloody organic etc, but gynecologist Dr. Jennifer Gunter has taken to Twitter explaining why sheilas shouldn’t shove garlic cloves up their Land Down Under’s.

Why you should not put garlic in your vagina.
A thread.
Garlic contains allicin, in THE LAB it MAY have antifungal (i.e. anti yeast) properties. This is in a lab, not even in mice. Just a dish of cells. Your vagina is not a dish of cells. #vaginaisanogarliczone 1/8

Something that the “old wives” didn’t have back in the day? F**ken science.

Dr. Jen explained that garlic contains “allicin” and that it can have anti-fungal properties. BUT not the way the naturists are goin’ about it.
