I'd consult with a herbalist. Echinacea tinctures/ douches etc can be mixed
up. I also have heard that a clove of garlic inserted into the vagina (
peeled clove) for 3 nights in a row also aids in reducing GBS.

Subject: [ozmidwifery] Alternative GBS
Hi wise women of the list,
I am curious if anyone can enlighten me of any alternatives to Antibiotics
in labour to decrease GBS transfer from mother to baby. I recollect some
info about douching during labour, but the info was sketchy to say the
least. I understand the risks of transfer are low and the risk or negative
effects are even lower, but alternatively have witnessed a birth of a GBS
positive mother where AB's were administered and the baby still developed
respiratory distress with several hours of birth and question the validity
of using AB'a at all. Any advice on the matter would be greatly
appriciated.
Melanie
