These pads work through the principle of osmosis. The pads are placed on the soles of the feet in order to access the more than 60 reflexology meridian points located there. Once these points are accessed, the pads are then able to work as a fairly competent aid in detoxifying the various tissues and organs of the body by stimulating the lymph system. The lymph system serves as the reservoir of toxins that accumulate and are removed from the blood before they are transported into the elimination channels of the body. By way of gravity, some or most of the toxins accumulate in the feet so this is the reason why the foot detox patches are placed on the soles of the feet.

In a nutshell, Thrush is an infection caused by yeast that in usually seen in a baby’s mouth but also occurs in men and women. There are many home remedies for thrush that are simple to use and offer a quick fix. A white colored tongue and/or areas in the mouth or cheeks that have pockets of yeast indicate thrush infection. Thrush develops because of the large amount of Candida albicans, a kind of yeast. Thrush is caused by a number of reasons like stress or the misuse of antibiotics. It is important to realize that while some antibiotics can worsen thrush, some antibiotics are made to control thrush.

When one is afflicted with thrush one should not let any synthetic fibers touch the afflicted area as this will cause irritation. When you are infected with thrush you must at all costs stay away from oral contraceptives and some kinds of antibiotics. Thrush does not only appear in women and babies but also in men.

The symptoms of thrush include the following:

  • Difficulty and pain in swallowing;
  • White appearance inside the mouth and cheeks;
  • The feeling of food stopping or getting stuck around the area of the throat and the chest;
  • When the infection spreads past the oesophagus a fever will occur;
  • Severe itching and a burning sensation is also one of the symptoms.

Here are some home remedies for to cure thrush:

  1. This baking soda remedy.  Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with eight ounces water to create a solution. This home remedy for thrush works well on babies. Clean the baby’s gums and cheeks and tongue with the solution after every nursing. Don’t save a solution for the next day.  Always make a new solution every day.
  2. The next remedy is the plantain seed remedy. Submerge plantain seeds in water overnight because you need them to swell. This process will create gelatine like substance. If these seeds are not readily available you can use psyllium seeds as an alternative. Even when thrush infection is gone you should still continue the treatment for 2-3 more days.
  3. Garlic and onions have very strong anti-fungal characteristics that could kill the yeast in the infected person’s mouth. Simply increase the onion and garlic intake of the infected person. Increasing the amount of yogurt that one eats is also great in curing thrush.
  4. A way to give yourself momentary relief from the symptoms of thrush is the scrubbing of your mouth with water, baking soda and a peroxide mixture. This is one of the home remedies for oral thrush in adults that is very simple and effective.
  5. Reduce your intake of fermented foods like bread, wine and beer. Reducing the intake of these foods will reduce the growth of thrush.

  7. An easy way remedy for thrush is to combine cider vinegar with a salt solution. Gargle using this mixture at least twice a day. This is one of the easiest home remedies for oral thrush in adults

You should be very careful with any home remedies for baby thrush as babies may react very differently to a treatment than an adult would. If you are unsure of the treatment that you are taking, speak to a physician so they can prescribe the exact type of medication for your infection. Or, if you are averse to taking medication for the issue, many doctors can offer a natural remedy for thrush that may work all the same.

Preventing Thrush

The simplest and easiest way of preventing thrush is good hygiene. If you suffer from thrush, immediately replace your toothbrush.  Rinse your mouth after treating yourself with a liquid antibiotic. Thrush could be an effect of other ailments so if you are diagnosed with conditions that can cause thrush, get into the habit of keeping your mouth hygienic at all times.  As an example, mouthwash is often used by people suffering from AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency syndrome), which can result in this yeast infection.

To prevent thrush infection in infants you should wash or boil everything the infant puts in their mouth (washing must be in a dishwasher and boiled for twenty minutes). Immediately change the infants diaper after it gets wet as a wet diaper is an excellent environment for thrush to spread. Try not to reuse the bottle the baby has used after the hour of the initial use of the infant. These are among the simplest home remedies for thrush in babies. You don’t want to use any harsh remedies since babies are so much more sensitive than adults.

Oral hygiene is probably the most important thing in preventing and curing thrush. In my opinion this is the most important thing pertaining to curing thrush. As previously discussed, not all antibiotics are thrush friendly and some can even worsen it, or worse still, cause it.  There are some antibiotics, however, that are specific to treating thrush.  Suppressed immune systems, allergies and other medical ailments can cause thrush to spread more quickly and make it become much more devastating to one’s health.

If you are not sure about using a natural remedy for thrush, feel free to contact your doctor and ask for remedies or antibiotic treatments that are specific to treating thrush.
