Is it possible to treat thrush at home?

Quite often there is an erroneous opinion that thrush is a purely female disease. This is far from the case. Simply in women, the manifestation of this disease is much more common. However, it should be borne in mind that candidiasis (the medical name of the thrush) can manifest itself in both women and men. And even cases are known where this form of the fungus was manifested in children. I propose to consider this question and find out whether it is possible to treat thrush at home.

By itself, thrush (candidiasis) is a fungal disease that affects the mucous membrane. Possible damage to the skin, mouth, nasopharynx and urogenital system. The causes of this disease can be different. Starting from stresses and frequent enough colds, ending with the use of contraceptives and promiscuous sexual intercourse. Also thrush can occur as a result of taking various kinds of antibiotics, or non-compliance with personal hygiene rules. It must be remembered that this is, after all, an infectious disease and an address to a doctor, when symptoms appear, it is simply necessary. However, not everyone wants to consult a doctor with such an intimate problem and try to cure thrush at home.

The main cause of thrush development can be called reduced immunity, while the multiplication of the fungus is activated. It is worth paying special attention to the number of relapses of the disease, if it resumes quite often, then the likely cause of this can be the presence of a more serious disease, which is extremely harmful to the body and significantly reduces immunity.

Given that many people are embarrassed to go to a doctor with this disease (although this is a big mistake), there are a number of folk remedies that can help treat thrush at home.

I want to note that it is not easy to treat thrush at home. However, if you wish, this is possible. As a rule, infusions and decoctions of various plants are used, which can be used as baths, douching and washing.

Very effective is the use of herbs such as nettles, juniper, chamomile, birch buds, celandine, etc. For making a decoction or infusion, just enough of any of the above herbs (1 tsp) to pour one glass of boiling water. Insist and use.

Adherents of traditional medicine argue that treatment of thrush at home, it is easy to implement with the help of tea tree oil. There are many recipes using this component. And these are recipes not only for external use, but also for oral administration. Let's give some examples of them.

First, consider the options for syringing.

The easiest way is to dissolve the tea tree oil in a glass of cool boiled water (1 drop). You can also use tea tree oil in combination with baking soda. To do this, dilute a teaspoon of soda and 5 drops of tea tree oil in a glass of warm water. Then rinse with this solution.

When treating milkweed at home, you can dilute 1 drop of oil in water (about 40 ml) and use this composition for oral administration, before eating.

One of the intravaginal ways to treat thrush is the method using several types of oils at once. It is necessary to mix 5 drops of lavender and tea oils and add aloe oil (20 ml) and sea buckthorn oil (20 ml). Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Then find the glassware, preferably with a dark glass, and store the mixture in it. Before going to bed, moisten the cotton swab, which can be made by yourself, the product obtained and insert it for the night in the vagina.

In combination with folk recipes and medicines, it is important to remember that during treatment, it is necessary to adhere to a diet. It is advisable to exclude sugar, alcohol, yeast and dairy products.

And it is also important to remember the strictest rules of personal hygiene.

However, it is best, at the first manifestations of the disease immediately go to the doctor, and not to treat thrush at home.
