Coconut Oil For Thrush Is An Effective Home Remedy

By Kim Lane


Oral thrush is a type of yeast infection, also known as Candida albicans. It takes on the appearance of white or creamy spots on the tongue or inner cheeks, and can spread to the back of the throat or other parts of the mouth. It is a common occurrence in infants, as well as seniors. There are several remedies, and coconut oil for thrush may be one of the most effective.

These lesions or spots are sometimes painful and can make eating and swallowing difficult. They can come on suddenly and if left untreated, can persist for a lengthy period of time. It is a sign that the immune system is not functioning properly, and is compromised. This remedy is typically recommended due to the fact that there are no harsh medications involved, which is particularly important for infants.

Coconut oil has been a well- known home treatment for many years, and contains several anti-fungal properties that are very effective in getting rid of the infection. They fight the fungi and bacteria that causes this type of infection. Fatty acids such as Capric acid, Lauric acid and Caprylic acid can all be found in this oil. These can also be found as a natural occurrence in mother's milk; thus, breastfeeding can help prevent outbreaks in infants.

Most experts recommend extra-virgin oil to be used to treat thrush. Many drug stores and health food stores keep it in stock and it is reasonably priced. You do not need a prescription; however, it is advisable to speak with a medical expert first if you have any concerns.

It is extremely soothing on the skin as well as to your digestive system and can give immediate relief when it's applied directly to affected areas. Because of its moisture lock-in capacity, skin will stay smooth and supple, without cracking or peeling. Skin will not feel greasy, just moisturized.

It can be taken to treat the inside of the mouth as well. Take one tablespoon and allow it to melt in your mouth. Swish it around your tongue and cheeks for five or ten minutes, then spit it out, don't swallow it. Rinse your mouth out thoroughly with water.

Coconut oil for thrush has proven to be a very effective treatment and is highly recommended as an alternative to prescription medications that could have harmful side effects. Many people report that it disappears in just a few days. Keep in mind, though, that results will vary depending on the type and severity of the infection.
