1. Make Pink Magic Mouth Wash to Defeat Oral Thrush
This home remedy is especially good for patients who are going through chemotherapy, radiation treatments, and tend to get mouth sores.
Never heard of the "Swish and Spit Pink Magic Mouth Wash"? Well I'm going to tell you about it now. You can easily make it at home with these two products. It relieves mouth pain and soreness. Just be sure not to swallow any of it.
You will need:
- 1 bottle (any size) Pink Children's Liquid Benadryl - Cherry Flavor
- 1 bottle (any size) Maalox - Plain or Cherry Flavor
- Mix equal parts of Benadryl and Maalox together in a small bowl or glass, which ever you prefer.
- It can be one tablespoon each, or 1/4 cup each.
- Then swish it all around your mouth, gargle, swish some more, and spit it out.
- If you have some more in your bowl or glass, then do it again. If not, don't worry about it.
- Do it again in four hours and every four hours there after. Do not rinse with water, eat, or drink anything for at least 15 minutes. It's very soothing. It's a little chalky from the Maalox, but you can handle it. Believe me, this does work. It's better than any mouth wash you can buy.
Other mouth washes are strong and will only make your oral thrush worse. To get it under control from the inside, drink 1-2 cups of Pau D' Arco tea a day. Don't forget to drink lot's of water throughout the day, so you can generate Saliva. Oral thrush loves dry mouth!
2. Eliminate Candida Yeast Fungus in Your Mouth and Body
One reason you might be suffering from oral thrush is that you have too much candida albicans within your body. This is a fungus that thrives in moist, dark environments such as the mouth, and many other places. Until the problems actually show on the body, we aren't aware that we have too much of the fungus. So, seeing it on the body is the way your body is showing you there is a problem, and you need to fix it. It doesn't mean just on the outside, you can start helping your body from the inside, and then work your way to the outside.
This is how you do it:
- Step 1: Try daily doses of " Chlorophyll" to clean within your body.
- Step 2: Use Daktarin Oral Gel on tongue.
- Step 3: Use baking soda when brushing your teeth and tongue.
- Step 4: Swish your mouth a few times a day alternating with the " Pink Magic Mouthwash" and/or Apple Cider Vinegar.
- Step 5: Dink lot's of water.
- Step 6: Start eating right. By just cutting down on a few things such as sugars and foods containing yeast (white bread for one) and starches such as pastas and potatoes, you can reduce the chances of getting oral thrush.
- Step 7: Turn on the air purifier before going to sleep at night.
3. Use Apple Cider Vinegar to Beat Oral Thrush
The best Apple Cider Vinegar to use is one that is raw, un-distilled and unpasteurized, with no additives or preservatives. Take by mouth and/or gargle a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with a little water.
Apple cider vinegar can help by:
- Improving the PH balance in your body and causing it to become more alkaline.
- It helps to fight off the intestinal yeast overgrowth by killing the yeast that is in your body.
- It also prevents the growth of bacteria in the digestive tract.
- You can also gargle straight apple cider vinegar 2-3 times a day, holding it for a few minutes in your mouth. This will kill bad bacteria on your tongue
4. Use Pau D'Arco Bark or Tea
Pau D'Arco bark or tea is also very good for preventing or treating oral thrush. In fact, this bark or tea can help in many ways.
Pau D'Arco bark helps by:
- Killing bacteria and fungi such as yeast.
- It also aides in cancer, candida, parasites, viruses, relieves infections, reduces inflammation, and promotes digestion,
- It relieves pain, strengthens the immune system, flushes toxins from the body, and protects against cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure.
Drink a cup of hot Pau D'Arco tea once daily.
5. Use Chlorophyll on Your Oral Thrush
Chlorophyll kills bacteria and germs. Chlorophyll is a deodorizer and eliminates odor from your throat and mouth. Taking a couple of teaspoons mixed in a glass with a little bit of water twice a day is recommended. Gargle it after brushing your teeth.
It is also good for:
- Body odor
- Bad breath
- Respiratory problems
- Rheumatism
- Liver problems
- Anemic pale complexions
- Weight problems
- Constipation
- Menstrual pain
- Sore throat
- Fatigue
Where Can You Get Chlorophyll?
Personally, I have used products from Synergy World Wide. The company is NASDAQ listed and has won a Nobel prize. Their products are quality guaranteed. They offer money back, if for some reason you are not satisfied with any of their products.
Their chlorophyll product, as well as all of their products, has been tested by scientists/physicians for potency and purity.
Ordering a monthly auto-ship from them can make things easy. That way you will never run out. Every 30-days, a shipment will arrive at your door like clockwork. It can be canceled at any time with no problem.
Of course, you don't have to do auto-ship if this is something you're not comfortable with.
6. Brush Baking Soda on Your Tongue
Everyone knows baking soda is great for whitening teeth. Since baking soda eliminates odor and bacteria, brushing it on your tongue is a great benefit.
After every brushing, sprinkle baking soda on the toothbrush, then brush the tongue and your rinse mouth.
7. Use Daktarin Oral Gel
Daktarin oral gel is used for infections of the mouth and throat. It works best for thrush. The main ingredient is Miconazole, which is used for treating infections caused by fungi, including yeast. It is a small tube so you might want to get a couple at a time.
8. Take Magnesium Malate
Promotes the production of saliva, which helps control oral bacteria. Dry mouth is how the bacteria grows. It is important to choose a good form of magnesium, magnesium malate. It is considered an alpha hydroxy acid which is good for the skin.
There are other types of magnesium such as citrate, oxide, glycinate, taurate, they are for different things.
