Home cures for thrush

Natural cures for thrush 

Thrush is a fungal yeast infection that shows up as whitish patches on the tongue and in and around the mouth. These patches can sometimes harden and peel, which can also make them quite painful. One of the best home remedies for providing relief from the itching sensation is to eat ice chips.


This will numb the mouth and take away the pain and discomfort momentarily. You can also chill fruits and vegetables and eat those, as they will provide relief and their juices will help in healing. In order to fight infection, you can have a glass of warm milk mixed with a teaspoon of turmeric powder and honey each, twice a day.


To fight the infection topically, you can rinse your mouth with a glass of warm water and a teaspoon of baking soda every other hour. Make a diluted mix of a glass of water, a teaspoon each of hydrogen peroxide and organic vinegar and swish this around in your mouth every hour or so. It will help in removing the fungus and healing. Apply fresh yogurt to the patches and leave it on for about five minutes at a time. The live active bacteria in the yogurt will feed off the fungus and help eliminate it. Eating a couple of apples everyday will help heal.
