Home Remedies for Thrush..

[Momma`Kat]

So I was looking this up on google yesterday, And a lot of places had reccomended :_

1) Honey

2) Garlic

3) Vinager

I spent the majority of yesterday in pain. Honey? Soothes while its on.. But made the itch worse after id washed/melted it off.

Garlic.. Now there were two ways to do this.. Garlic paste on the area, or garlic cloves internally. I dont have garlic cloves so went for the first. Or attemted to, It stung, I washed it off and hunted down a cold flannel.

Vinager! Apple Cider Vinager.. Harmless enough right? WRONG. NEVER LET THIS STUFF NEAR YOU EVER EVER EVER. Heavily diluted in a douche.. And I literally SCREAMED when that hit me. Burning is an understatement, It felt like someone had taken a cauterising iron to my clit, And since then my body has refused to produce any kind of natural lube what so ever, so its burning, its dry, its cracked, and im not pleased. I had to sleep with a cold wet towel jammed between my legs to get some kind of relief.


Point of this post? Go to the GP. Get real stuff.

Yoghurt!!

I agree Bio yoghurt! Sooooo soothing x

 

[Momma`Kat]

Soothing .. Yah but does it get rid of the actual problem or just hide it?

I cant stand the smell of dairy products at the moment, Hence avoiding it

Aw poor you!! Well done for trying things out though!

 

[becks20]

Well its meant to get rid of the problem as my Dr told me to just use yoghurt instead of going to get cream, as i used to get it alot x

May not like the smell but it works!

the yoghurt only soothes the pain and the itching for a bit as this over takes the bacteria produced by the thrush even the external cream doesnt get rid of the thrush it has to be the pessary which I have used 3 times now and twice in my last pregnancy xx

Do not under any circumstance use cranberry juice! Bicarbonate soda i have heard is meant to be good, absolutely discusting though!

Wear cotton knickers and skirts - when at home try letting the air get to your bits.
Sensitive washing powder
Don't wear pants or bottoms to bed
Try using Femme Fresh womens wash
reduce your sugar and yeast intake
Nat Yog is a must!
