Ways to prepare it
⚠️ Cautions
- Not a substitute for medical diagnosis and treatment of vaginal or cervical infections.
- Garlic can irritate sensitive tissue — stop if burning or worsening symptoms occur.
- Avoid if pregnant, if there's any chance of an STI, or without a clinician's guidance, since douching itself can sometimes push infection upward.
- See a doctor first — routine douching is generally discouraged and can worsen some conditions.
