Make a douche using apple cider vinegar and garlic. Stir one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar into an 8-ounce glass of water and place one peeled garlic clove into it. Let this sit for 30 minutes. Remove the garlic clove and then douche with it two times a day. Repeat until the symptoms clear. - (Image courtesy of lockstockb,sx.hu)
