Oral thrush can be treated with home remedies, lifestyle changes, and good oral health. However, if these remedies don't work, it's important to contact your doctor and seek medical advice. Lets look at some of the best natural remedies you can use at home.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil has antifungal properties and may be used to treat an oral yeast infection. In one study, coconut oil was used to effectively treat oral thrush in rats that were resistant to drugs.
To use coconut oil to treat oral thrush, place one tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth and swish it for one to two minutes like you would with a mouthwash, then spit the oil out. After swishing the oil, try to avoid eating or drinking for thirty minutes, which will give it time to take effect.
Salt Water
Salt water can be used to treat an oral candida infection. Salt kills yeast, which makes it a good home remedy for oral thrush. Salt water also has antiseptic, cleansing, and soothing properties, which may help with the symptoms of oral thrush.
To use salt water to treat oral thrush, mix a teaspoon of salt with warm water. Gargle and swill the water, then spit out. Repeat this process two to three times a day until your symptoms have reduced or until the infection is gone.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a natural antifungal and antibacterial that can help with treating oral thrush. Studies have found that apple cider vinegar can help with candida overgrowth and even prevent oral thrush.
There are a number of ways you can use apple cider vinegar as an oral thrush remedy. One option is to take it undiluted. To do this, swish a tablespoon in your mouth like a mouthwash for thirty seconds to a minute, spitting it out afterward. Alternatively, you can take it as a health food shot. Unfortunately, apple cider vinegar doesn't have the most pleasant taste - you'll probably want to add a drop of honey to make it more bearable.
If you really don't enjoy the taste, you can go one step further and dilute your apple cider vinegar slightly. Mix half a cup of the vinegar with a cup of water and swish in your mouth, spitting out each time, as you would with a saltwater rinse. Repeat until the water is gone.
If you're looking to get double the benefits from a remedy, try combining apple cider vinegar with coconut oil to obtain the best properties from both. As coconut oil is a good carrier and boosts hygiene, it makes for an effective way to dilute apple cider vinegar without getting rid of its benefits.
Oregano Oil
Oregano oil is a potent antimicrobial and antifungal, and research shows that using this oil can help stop the growth of candida yeast.
When using oregano oil as an oral thrush treatment, make sure to dilute the oil first, either in water or (more preferably) in a carrier oil such as coconut. Oregano oil is too potent to use on its own, and could irritate your mouth.
Place two drops of oregano oil in a cup of water and swish in your mouth. Repeat this until the glass of water is empty. If you want to use coconut oil instead, simply add the same amount of coconut oil to the glass in place of water.
