Sometimes embarrassing, strange odors can develop in our most private parts.  Ladies, I know this is not the prettiest thing to talk about, but it certainly is important.  There are a variety of reasons why odors can develop; perhaps a tampon upset your pH balance or a cheap lube created a nasty reaction.  Occasionally, a yeast infection or bacterial infection can cause icky smells, as well.

But before you run off to purchase over-the-counter yeast infection medicine, there may be a natural alternative that will return you to your freshest state: garlic.

A fabulous bi-friend of mine recently had a bout with a strange smell and initially panicked, certain she had contracted a horrible STD or something (even though she plays quite safely).  But after some Internet research, she read that placing a clove of garlic inside her vaginal cavity was a natural way to restore her body’s natural pH balance and end any funky odors.

Being a clever cat, she took a string out of an unused tampon, bore a hole in the clove of garlic and laced the string through the hole.  Securing the knot at the top, she then inserted the clove and went about her day.

By the end of the day, she could taste the garlic on her tongue but when she removed the clove, the funky odor was gone.  The next morning, she smelled so fresh and so clean she called me with delight.  “It totally works!  Garlic is a powerful healer.”

Indeed it is.
