Thrush is a vaginal yeast infection which is caused by an imbalance of our own internal environment. Thrush affects over 75% of women at some stage in their lives. Some of the causes of internal thrush infections such as yeast and Candida include:
- Antibiotics and birth control pills - these are fungus friendly allowing for fungal overgrowth
- A weak immune system (if you've had chemotherapy or other such type of treatment then your body is more susceptible to vaginal yeast infections)
- Caffeine: Yes indeed, caffeine removes the good bacteria that resides in our bodies and allows for fungal overgrowth to occur quicker
- Diabetes: this increases the sugar level in your blood and urine which again encourages fungal overgrowth as yeast feeds on sugar.
SO, can you get rid of internal thrush?
Internal thrush can be treated with medication or using natural remedies. Natural remedies can be more effective as they can treat the root cause of the infection as well as provide fast treatment whereas prescribed drugs or over the counter creams and pessaries provide just temporary relief.
Natural cures for treating thrush includes: garlic, tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar and unsweetened yoghurt douche. These remedies are very powerful and effective if used properly.
Other things you should consider are: a cleansing diet and a body detox. Try and avoid these yeast loving contributors until you thrush has been treated successfully: alcohol, sugar and yeast, antibiotics and oral contraceptives and chemical cleaners.
