Candida thrush symptoms range from a mild skin irritation to systemic infection causing potentially life threatening illness.
Curing this distressing condition does not need to rely on medical intervention or expensive over the counter treatments that do not treat the root cause.
Understanding what the candida albicans organism is will help you to tackle curing it without resorting to these methods.
The candida albicans single-celled organism lives naturally on the body in the gut, genital area and mouth to name a few.
It will not cause any problems unless certain conditions exist to allow it to multiply and mutate into a fungal yeast infection; commonly known as yeast or thrush infection.
What conditions allow this organism to take hold or 'overgrow'? Antibiotics you prescribed by your doctor will usually be broad spectrum which will kill a broad number of different types of bacteria not just one that may cause a chest infection.
Along side the candida albicans the natural bacteria present in the gut and genital area helps to keep the candida from taking hold.
However, if you have had a course of antibiotics this natural bacteria will either have been killed altogether or it will be weakened.
If this is the case you need to replenish this.
Natural live yogurt will help by populating your gut with the healthy or good bacteria that has been lost.
This is achieved by ingesting the yogurt and also using it as a topical treatment.
Cover the genital area with yogurt and if you have a thrush infection in your mouth hold a mouthful of yogurt for a few minutes before you swallow.
For vaginal thrush you can use a tampon coated in natural yogurt and place in the vagina.
You will notice the symptoms abating within 12 hours so.
Do this overnight while you sleep.
Garlic has been used for centuries as a cooking ingredient but also much has been written about its healing properties.
It is more convenient to take a garlic capsule daily which are easily available.
Topical treatments made from garlic preparations will sooth irritation and enable healing to start.
Crush a clove of garlic and make into a paste with some olive oil.
Cover a tampon in this paste and place in the vagina or use the paste to cover the genital area.
Apple cider vinegar has also been used by many cultures for its curative effects.
You will need to find unpasteurized vinegar as the trace elements vitamins and minerals will not have been killed off by the process.
Use it as a douche by mixing two tablespoons of cider vinegar with 500 mls of cooled boiled water and douche as you normally would.
You can also add vinegar to a warm bath and douche that way but do not use bubble bath or soap as these alter the natural PH of your vagina.
These are just a few of the methods you can use to cure candida thrush symptoms but understanding why you have contracted a yeast infection will help you to treat it and also avoid it happening again.
Treating the root cause is the key.
