toothbrush will keep you free of infection and using mouthwash will heal
the oral thrush. People with dentures should ensure that they clean the
dentures on a daily basis and soak them in clean water overnight. They
should also rinse and dry them well before putting them back into the
mouth.
2. Oral Rinses
Vinegar. Apple cedar vinegar restores
the PH level of the body enabling it fight overgrowth of Candida. Raw
vinegar is best for oral thrush treatment. Due to its strong odor and
taste, people take it diluted with water then take little sips in the
course of the day. Alternatively, you can heat some water, add vinegar
and some honey to it making some kind of tea. You can also sprinkle the
vinegar over salads to make it more palatable.
Salt Water. Take
some salt (half a teaspoon) and add it to a cup of some warm water.
Once the salt has dissolved, swish it in the mouth and spit out.
Warm Water with Vinegar and Salt. Mix them in warm water then swish it around the mouth. It acts as home anti-fungal mouthwash.
Hydrogen Peroxide Solution. The human body contains healthy bacteria
which are the source of hydrogen peroxide which kills yeast. Take a
mixture solution of diluted 3% hydrogen peroxide to kill the thrush as
would the healthy bacteria.
3. Food Remedies
Onions
and Garlic. Both contain anti-fungal power; blend them in warm water
then gargle in the mouth ensuring all areas of the mouth have been
touched.
Yogurt. Include yoghurt that has live cultures in the
diet so that the healthy bacteria level in the mouth is improved. It
