Mel J	Thrush is over active yeast infection. I am unsure if you mean in the mouth or the vagina, but for either the first and most important thing to do is cut out ALL sugar (as much as possible at least) from your diet. It feeds the bad bacteria. Second, get a good quality probiotic (not yakult) from a health shop. Gets the good bacteria back up. I don't know about the whole yogurt thing, I have heard that... Also, the tea tree oil on a tampon?! I'd be careful about that, tea tree oil is a great anticeptic, but it can irritate skin, so I don't know about putting it somewhere that sensitive. I have had thrush on and off for YEARS before I discovered natural medications and solutions. The canasten would knock it out for a bit, then it'd come back. Now I just readjust my diet, take some probiotics and it's gone. On one occassion it was bad and I had to take canasten, but I just took the probiotics to combat it, seemed to do the trick. Mine has just been hormonally induced due to pregnancy/breast feeding etc, but always it is sugar aggrevated. Good luck, thrush isn't fun Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

robsonhoult@btinternet.com	Natural yoghurt. Make sure it doesn't have fruit in. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Catwoman	Yougurt is all you need. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

J	sounds odd but works- fill a bedet or large bowl with detox and water mixed, and put the effected area emmersed into it- if this involves sitting in it then make sure its big enough and sturdy enough! rinse when you have emmersed it for about 10 mins. Or try camomile lotion Or try candisten cream Or try taking thrush tablets from your chemist Or apparently if you cut out all dairy (milk, yougurt, cheese, cream, ice cream....), fungi foods (such as mushrooms and cheese which grows), wine, sugar- including fruits, and coffee/anything with caffine, the thrush which is otherwise known as the candida virus, will leave your system, if you never eat anyhe above foods again, you should be clear for life. And very bored. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

alazymaisie@btinternet.com	natural yoghurt is supposed to work Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

vskane2000uk	Use live (preferably organic) yoghurt on a tampon - but not if the thrush is in your mouth - as that would look silly. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Georgina34	Well firstable you have to take care your immune system but for a temporal relieve you can use oregano oilor garlic. Is a lot of formulas that you can use for this problems georgina@foywellnesscenter.com Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jude	Yep, yoghurt put inside you, it really works, but plain and "live" so that the good bacteria can eat the bad bacteria!!!! Also, a bath with essential oil of Sandalwood helps as it draws pus and stuff like that out. It is also soothing. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

virginia b	The best thing that you can to help your body of candida or thrush is to do a complete body cleanse. You should try to eliminate from your diet the following foods: high sugary foods, yeast and yeast products just to name a few. The first step in complete a complete body cleanse is intestinal cleanse. The product that I use for my intestinal cleanse is called Oxy-Powder. This product is an oxygen based intestinal cleanse. Oxygen does make it an inhospitable environment for candida. The other parts of the complete body cleanse are a liver/gallbladder cleanse and parasite cleanse. I would also add a good probiotic. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Michael T	Hi, by "thrush" I assume you mean oral thrush, not vaginal. As the term 'thrush" is usu. used to refer to the Oral Cavity. #1 - go see your Doctor / Dentist -as many times outbreaks or freq. outbreaks may be a side effect of many meds etc. #2 - it may also be a sign that something else may be wrong with your body. #3 - you also need to make sure you get a correct Diagnosis. #4 - after #1-#3 -if it is determined that you indeed have oral thrush, it is not being caused by meds etc., and you are otherwise healthy... a simple anti-fungal med will clear it up in very little time along with any specific tips directly related to your individual circumstance. Ask you Doctor about alternative Tx(s) that can be beneficial vs harmful. As you can see direct communication with a professional is a must to avoid misdiagnosis etc. over the Internet. IE. if you do have ORAL thrush, sticking a tampon coated with yogurt in your mouth is not going to help much... -If you are referring to a vaginal problem all suggestions listed still apply. And if you are otherwise ok as determined by your Doc, Monistat now offers a simple OTC Med for a Vaginal Yeast infection. Go see your Doc, that is what they are for... DRM. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Casually Blonde	where abouts is the thrush? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

happyearthmother	Cut out sugar, yeasty and refined foods, take citricidal in water (its foul) available from health food shops, its grapefruit seed extract. I have drunk it every day this week and also did a vaginal douche with it and it has worked. Also take some probiotics to help get your internal flora back as it should be. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jenni b	'Natural' remedies for thrush include: live yoghurt inserted into the vagina; adding vinegar or bicarbonate of soda to a bath to alter the acidity of the vagina; tampons impregnated with tea tree oil. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

♥cozicat♥	yes yoghurt..my sis told my other sis to do that once and she ate a pot of strawberry ski..no joke! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

arthvader	The baby may need antibiotics -- see a pediatrician. In the meantime, make sure that rubber/plastic nipples are boiled before use to kill yeast cells. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jennifer W	gention violet drops. you should be able to get them at a health store, although your doctor can prescribe it as well. it's purple and stains your mouth for a couple days but usually works in one application! google it and you'll find a ton of information! good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Linda B	Gentian violet can be found at a lot of regular pharmacies but I would call first. It is hard to find at some of the chain or supermarket pharmacies. If you are breastfeeding and have thrush on your nipples you can paint the gentian violet on them too. It makes a mess, so be careful. I think it's better than getting a prescription for a drug though. Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

left-to-fate	Natural yoghurt applied to the effected area. Cut out sugar aswell Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cleocat	You mean not drugs? Live yogurt on a tampon etc etc. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Nicky	if oral then daktarin gel or fluconazole antifungal antibiotics from ur GP If down below the cannisten cream or live youghurt I would restrict yeasty foods such as breads, wine and beer also!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nursecracker	i don't know if they sell the stuff over the counter these days or not? call your pharmacy... if not, you may have to go to the doctor for a prescription. i think the treatment is an iodide base? i know it's purple. take care. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Smurfette	First you must know where it comes from. If you use a steroid inhaler, you must rinse your mouth out very well after EACH TIME you use it or it will kill all the beneficial flora in your mouth which results in thrush (which is a form of yeast infection.) You can also get vaginal yeast infection from using a broad-spectrum antibiotic for the series, which is usually 7-10 days. this med kills all internal bacteria and leaves a breeding ground for yeast. If you had no balanced bacteria in your body, yeast would take over and invade every part of your body. Clamydia is a Yeast infection. to rid the body of said infection--at Health food store buy a good Pro-biotic...also use pure organic yogurt with live cultures--also true fermented products such as kim chi and saurkraut. Anything home fermented is very good for the gut. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kittyfisher	as above and bathe with teatree in the water Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

britishlol	Gentian Violet http://www.alternative-medicine-info.com/alternative-medicine/Thrush/Thrush.html the above link has a wealth of information about vitamins and minerals to help with thrush. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jeanimus	Natural yoghurt, eat it and apply it. But not from the same pot. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

undercover elephant	Yoghurt, but NOT a Crunch Corner! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nita5267	Yes, I know of a remedy. Get acidophilus or bifidophilus from the health food store. It's a yeast infection, and this puts good bacteria back into the body. From reading the comments above, I don't think people realize thrust is in your mouth and around your mouth, and is caused by yeast. My son had this a lot when he was little due to ear infections and too many antibiotics. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dr Frank	As a one off, rather than for a patient with recurrent problems, use Canestan Duo, which is both cream and pessaries in the same pack. If th problem is recurrent you might stop it by dipping your tampon in live natural yogurt before inserting it at period time. Live yogurt contains lactobacilli which protect the vagina from other infections. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
