Review of effective folk remedies for thrush

Traditional medicine methods are a popular therapy option that patients often resort to in order to get rid of a fungal infection. And this is not surprising, since natural products (berries, herbs, substances of animal origin) have long proven their effectiveness. Complex therapy, which involves taking medications and alternative methods, is especially effective.

If we compare pharmaceutical products and natural ingredients, the latter have a number of advantages. First of all, it is a soft action, a minimum of side effects and contraindications. Such products are safe even when absorbed into the systemic bloodstream. When using folk methods, you need to follow the rule - they should not replace traditional medications. Since there is a risk of not curing the infection completely, which will allow it to become chronic and the disease will drag on for a long time.

Most often, candidiasis appears due to a weakened immune system. The body cannot cope with the inflammatory process, cheesy discharge from the genital tract, burning and itching occur. Based on the described symptoms, folk remedies should have certain therapeutic properties.

• Anti-inflammatory – chamomile, calendula, celandine, oak bark, St. John's wort. They are used to make decoctions that are needed for douching, baths and internal use.
• Antipruritic – plants with anti-inflammatory properties will reduce the infectious process, which helps eliminate itching. That is why local application (baths, irrigations) quickly soothes the inflamed mucous membrane of the genitals and minimizes unpleasant symptoms.
• Bactericidal – garlic and celandine are capable of destroying not only yeast fungus, but also other bacteria. They are excellent for vaginal douching.
• Healing - chamomile, St. John's wort, calendula, yarrow. Herbs relieve pain and accelerate the process of regeneration of damaged tissues. They help well in cases where thrush has caused microtraumas and erosions on the mucous membrane.
• Immunostimulating – rose hips, lingonberries, rowanberries, cranberries. Contain a complex of vitamins, including ascorbic acid, which helps strengthen the immune system. Fruit drinks, infusions are prepared from the berries, or they are consumed fresh.

Local application helps to relieve inflammation, soothe irritation, itching and burning. In addition, using folk methods, you can cleanse the mucous membrane from cheesy plaque. For these purposes, the following procedures are needed:

1. Douching - regardless of the medication, the procedure can be performed no more than 1-2 times a day and no longer than 3 days in a row. This is due to the fact that not only fungi are washed out of the vagina, but also beneficial microflora, which is fraught with bacterial imbalance.

• A decoction of chamomile, calendula, oak bark and celandine relieves inflammation and eliminates itching. The herb is poured with water and boiled over low heat for 10-15 minutes, then left to brew for an hour. Such decoctions can be used for douching or simply washing the parts of the body affected by the fungus.
• Garlic and celandine decoction are also suitable for douching. 2-3 cloves of garlic should be infused for an hour in a glass of boiling water. Celandine decoction should be used very carefully, as the plant is poisonous.

2. Baths are used in cases where the inflammatory process has affected not only the vaginal mucosa, but also the vulva area.

You can use the same herbs as for douching. Only for baths you need a large volume of decoction. It is better to carry out the procedure in a sitting position in a bath or basin, for 15-30 minutes. 1-2 times a day is enough to reduce painful symptoms.

3. Tampons - inserted into the vagina overnight, soaked in a medicinal product. For this, take infusions of eucalyptus leaves, rosehip seed oil or calendula tincture. Some recipes suggest inserting tampons soaked in whole garlic juice. But due to inflammation of the mucous membrane, this method can lead to greater irritation.

Let's look at an approximate treatment regimen for candidiasis using folk methods:

• At night, douche with tea tree oil and calendula oil.
• In the morning, douche with an infusion of chamomile, sage, oak bark and nettle. You can use an infusion of calendula and chamomile.
• Make a tampon out of gauze, sewing a thick thread to it. Soak it well in low-fat kefir and insert it into the vagina, leaving it overnight. In the morning, douche with chamomile infusion. 5-7 procedures will completely relieve itching and inflammation.
• For baths, prepare a decoction of equal parts of calendula, sage, juniper, chamomile, birch buds and eucalyptus. For douching, a decoction of nettle, oak bark, string and lavender (2:3:1.5:1) is suitable. It is better to carry out the procedure at night.

Oak bark

Very often, oak bark is used to eliminate the symptoms of yeast fungal infection. The thing is that the plant component effectively fights the causative agent of thrush and minimizes unpleasant symptoms. Oak bark restores mucous membranes damaged due to metabolic, dyscirculatory and neurohumoral processes caused by fungal infection.

This herbal medicine is irreplaceable for thrush, as it has the following properties:

• Covers the mucous membranes with a protective film, which prevents pathogenic microorganisms from penetrating into the tissues.
• Tannins have regenerative properties and are excellent at restoring vessels and tissues damaged by fungus.
• Antiseptic and antimicrobial substances slow the growth of opportunistic microorganisms and restore the balance of microflora.

There are several ways to use the plant for medicinal purposes. But the best are douching, baths and washing. To prepare an infusion, just pour boiling water over the bark, simmer over low heat, let cool and strain. It is necessary to take into account that this method has contraindications, so it is better to consult a doctor before use.

Aloe

Aloe, like many medicinal plants, is excellent for eliminating yeast fungal infections. It reduces painful symptoms, relieves itching and burning that occur with candidiasis. For medical purposes, juice and gel are used, which are obtained from the fleshy part of the leaf.

The plant has antifungal properties and destroys harmful microorganisms. Local application soothes affected skin and mucous membranes. To get maximum benefit from a yeast infection, you will need a fresh aloe leaf. It must be cut, squeeze out the gel and apply to the affected areas. The gel and juice can be diluted with water and taken orally ½ cup twice a day before meals.

But, despite its usefulness and naturalness, aloe is not recommended during pregnancy and lactation, since oral use stimulates uterine contractions. In addition, active substances penetrate the child's body with breast milk, which is not very useful for the child. Frequent use of aloe can cause gastrointestinal diseases and diarrhea. In addition, the plant can cause allergic reactions. Therefore, it would not be superfluous to consult with your doctor.

Treatment of thrush with soda

Treating yeast fungus with soda is one of the most common methods recommended by both folk and traditional medicine. The mechanism of action of soda is based on the fact that the solution destroys the fungus, and the alkaline environment slows down its spread and leads to complete destruction. Soda is used for washing and douching.

Both douching and baths relieve all symptoms of the disease, relieve itching, redness, burning, and help eliminate cheesy discharge and unpleasant odor. The procedure involves washing the vagina, but it is best to do it after consultation and approval from a doctor.

• To prepare a solution for washing, mix a spoonful of soda and a spoonful of iodine with a liter of warm water. Mix the ingredients well, pour the solution into a basin and sit in it for 10-15 minutes. The solution can be taken again, adding another spoonful of soda and iodine. The second procedure should last 20-25 minutes. To achieve a positive effect, 5-6 procedures are enough.
• For a solution for douching, take a liter of warm water and a teaspoon of soda. Dissolve the soda well and perform irrigation.
• Please note that prolonged douching disrupts the normal composition of the vaginal microflora, which will only increase the symptoms of thrush and can lead to vaginosis. Therefore, this procedure is suitable as an auxiliary means to relieve unpleasant symptoms. The procedure is prohibited in the early stages of pregnancy, within a month after childbirth, with inflammation of the genitals or before visiting a gynecologist.

Treatment of thrush with kefir

In order to get rid of the yeast fungus Candida, traditional medicine offers recipes with kefir. Any dairy products, including kefir, are useful for thrush, as they strengthen the immune system weakened by the disease, normalize the work of the gastrointestinal tract, which is very important if therapy for oral candidiasis is necessary. In addition to kefir, for a speedy recovery, it is necessary to take antifungal drugs prescribed by a doctor. This will completely eliminate the disease and prevent relapses.

Kefir is used for douching and tampons. Despite the fact that such treatment at first glance seems absurd, the effectiveness of the fermented milk drink has been confirmed by many gynecologists.

• Tampons - take a regular tampon or make one from a piece of gauze with a tightly stitched thread, dip it in kefir and insert it into the vagina. Before use, you can wash yourself with chamomile infusion, which has an antibacterial effect.
• Douching – helps to cope with any type of fungal infection, both in case of damage to the genitals and oral cavity. For the procedure, it is better to take fresh kefir, rich in lactobacilli.

If the disease is accompanied by strong cheesy discharge, then kefir with magnesia will help. Magnesia is mixed with warm water (a spoon per liter), douching is done and a tampon with kefir is put in. It is better to resort to this method after consulting a gynecologist, since the reaction of the mucous membranes to the fermented milk product is individual for each patient.

The solution should be introduced slowly, as soon as the required amount is introduced into the vagina, you should remain in a horizontal position for 15-20 minutes to avoid premature leakage of the medicine. Douching is carried out once a day, the course of therapy is 7-10 sessions. Chlorhexidine is well tolerated, so it is allowed during pregnancy.

Treatment of thrush with potassium permanganate

A solution of potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate crystals) is used to treat infected wounds and surfaces. The substance is small blue-violet crystals with a shiny sheen. The color of the solution directly depends on its concentration. A freshly prepared solution has a pronounced oxidizing activity and antimicrobial action. But, despite the antimicrobial effect, potassium permanganate has not proven itself as an effective substance in gynecology. A concentrated solution can cause a burn of the mucous membrane, so only douching is used.

Features of douching:

• An incorrectly performed procedure can cause vaginitis.
• It is used for the prevention of fungal and infectious infections after childbirth, but only as prescribed by a doctor.
• The solution dries out the vaginal mucosa, which is detrimental to both fungi and beneficial microflora.
• A concentrated solution may cause a burn, leading to erosion.
• It is used as an auxiliary method of therapy in combination with antifungal drugs.

The mechanism of action of potassium permanganate is to neutralize enzymes and toxins of the fungus, which normalizes the acid-base balance of the vagina. To prepare the solution, take 250 ml of boiled water and 0.2 g of potassium permanganate. The ingredients are thoroughly mixed until the crystals are completely dissolved. A new solution is prepared for each procedure. Therapy is carried out twice a day for 3-6 days. This method is considered extreme in the treatment of candidiasis, so if possible, it is better to use soda or herbal decoctions and infusions.

Treatment of thrush with chlorophyllipt

Chlorophyllipt is used to treat candidiasis, as it has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. The substance is based on the extract of eucalyptus leaves. It is available in the form of an alcohol and oil solution, tablets and spray. For therapy, take a 1% alcohol solution, which is diluted in 50 ml of warm water. It is excellent for douching and baths.

It is better to perform the procedure twice a day, that is, in the morning and before bedtime. The external genitalia are treated with a solution or spray. A 2% oil solution is needed to moisten tampons, which help to stop the yeast infection. The procedure is performed 2-3 times a day for 5-7 days. Chlorophyllipt tablets and injection solution are not used to treat thrush. The medication is prescribed by the attending physician.

Treatment of thrush with iodinol

To eliminate candidal infection, many medications are used, including iodinol. The substance consists of molecular iodine, which has a disinfecting effect. This provides an antifungal antimicrobial effect. As a rule, patients are prescribed douching (the drug is diluted with water 1:1).

Iodine suppositories have therapeutic properties. The main component of the drug is povidone-iodine. It blocks the amino group of protein at the cellular level, which has an extensive antimicrobial effect. Suppositories are inserted as deeply as possible into the vagina. The procedure is carried out twice a day for 5-7 days.

In addition to suppositories, blue iodine containing potato starch helps eliminate yeast infections. Such a natural composition allows using the product without any restrictions. The substance suppresses pathogenic microflora and accelerates regeneration processes, and is used as an external remedy.
