Have you had symptoms such as white patches, or a white rash on the inside of your cheeks, on your tongue, or your throat? You may have candida, which is a type of yeast overgrowth in your mouth called oral thrush.
Candida is normally found in the air, in your body, and on your skin. Having candida is healthy; however, sometimes candida can become overgrown, resulting in health issues.
Oral thrush can happen to anyone, but most people that feel these symptoms have taken certain medications, have diabetes, have been on birth control, have high sugar, or even a high carbohydrate diet, to name a few.
Here are some home remedies that can give you some relief:
Ginger
Using a ginger extract as a mouthwash once a day. Ginger extract is an antifungal and anti-inflammatory agent that can inhibit the growth of Candida Albicans.
Coconut Oil
Oil pulling with coconut oil can help pull the toxins and the bacteria from your system. For example, after you brush your teeth, put one tablespoon of coconut oil on your tongue. Swish it around, pushing the coconut oil around your mouth and under your tongue. Be sure not to swallow the coconut oil, and swish it around as long as you can- 10 minutes would be great! Next, spit the coconut oil out, and rinse your mouth with saltwater. Don’t eat for 30 minutes after your spit out the coconut oil.
Antifungal Prescription
Oral thrush is easy to treat with an antifungal prescription. Unfortunately, I hear from many of my clients they have relief from the medication temporarily- but have had the oral thrush reappear. If you have reoccurring oral thrush and take several doses of an antifungal prescription, you can develop a resistance to the antifungal prescriptions.
Bees
Taking a bee propolis supplement can help kill off a candida infection through its potent anti-microbial properties.
It is important to remember that there may be an underlying condition if you do get reoccurring infections. To understand more about your symptoms, what candida is, and how to recover from candida, you can learn more through my course You Know What?… Candida SUCKS. The course teaches you everything you need to know about candida, why you may be getting reoccurring infections, foods to avoid, and nutrition to add in. In addition, you learn how the connection between gut health and candida is related. Most importantly, how to become candida-free. FOR GOOD!
Cheers to your health!
