Home Remedies for Oral Thrush

Postby anamaria » Tue Aug 09, 2016 3:47 am

Here are 4 home remedies which people can use as effective treatments to remove several discomforts caused by oral thrush.

1. Salt

Whenever there are problems in throat and mouth, people often think of salt as the first and best remedy. And oral thrush is not an exception. Salt is one of the greatest oral thrush treatment you can find immediately at home. It will reduce the pain quickly and contribute to the elimination of white bruises in your mouth [1].

Take one spoon of salt and mix it with warm water.
Gargle with this mixture for 30 seconds several times per day.
2. Yogurt

Another oral thrush treatment you can get instantly is yogurt. In addition to treating oral thrush, yogurt can strengthen the function of digestive system, helping you swallow and consume foods more easily. The immune system can be improved if you eat yogurt regularly. If your immune system is strong enough, then the candida fungus will have no chance to hurt you [2].

Yogurt should be consumed 2-3 times per day.
Another way to make use of yogurt is to have it rubbed on the tongue and in the mouth in about 10 minutes. After that, use warm water to wash your mouth.
3. Tea Tree Oil

With antifungal quality, tea tree oil can be regarded as one of the best home remedies for oral thrush in adults. It prevents the expansion of the fungus candida and protects other parts of your body from being infected. This has been scientifically proved in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (2004).

Take some drops of this oil into warm water.
Mix them properly.
Gargle with this mixture 2-3 times on a daily basis to get the best result, but remember not to consume the mixture because tea tree oil, when going into the body, may cause some problems.
4. Apple Cider Vinegar

The fungus candida develops due to the imbalance of microorganisms inside the body. Therefore, providing the body with some substances to restore the balance is a great oral thrush treatment tip. Containing some enzymes that can contain the candida fungus, apple cider vinegar makes it ideal to help you treat oral thrush. In addition, it can strengthen the immune system to prevent the fungus from expanding [4].

Take 2 spoons of apple cider vinegar into a glass of warm water. You can mix half a spoon of salt to maximize the benefits.
Have your mouth rinsed with this mixture 2-3 times per day.

Hi Anamaria - Please read the first forum on rules of posting, standard intro, testing, etc. Although I am not in disagreement with using natural remedies to aid in the treatment of some illnesses such as oral thrush, we cannot promote home remedies as cures on this site. We are also not a medical site and recommend that all posters see their medical professional in treating any illnesses, including oral thrush. This is a c-diff support site. Have you suffered from c-diff, and as a result of treating with Flagyl, had to deal with oral thrush? It is a side effect of Flagyl. If you are or have suffered from c-diff, there is a lot of info and we have a lot of good posters here to support you.

Thanks,
Lisa
