Mixing Essential Oils For Thrush

By Stella Matthews


Thrush is caused by the overgrowth of a yeast called Candida Albicans. This particular yeast is present within the body ordinarily, however, when the yeast multiplies too quickly, an imbalance is created which causes the symptoms of thrush. Although the symptoms may vary, many sufferers experience excessive discharge and itching. Nevertheless, essential oils for thrush can help alleviate the symptoms.

Natural yoghurt is believed, not only to treat candida effectively, but also to relieve inflammation and soothe the affected area. The yoghurt, however, should be used externally and applied to the affected area. It is imperative, however, that you wash your hands before applying as any bacteria on one's hands can be transferred to the vagina and cause infection.

Tea tree, lavender and rosemary can be combined with vinegar to treat the symptoms. Mix two to three drops of each oil and then add to two drops of vinegar. Dilute the mixture with a cup of water, preferably distilled. Soak a piece of cotton wool into the solution and dab the inflamed area. Repeat the process three to four times daily.

Two other oils, patchouli and marjoram, may also be used to treat thrush. In approximately half a cup of water, warmed, add two drops of each oil. Using a douche, fill with the diluted mixture and apply to the vagina. Continue to douche using the solution about three times daily.

Renowned for its antiseptic and anti fungal properties, bergamot is also hailed as a treatment. Use warm distilled water and add up to three drops of bergamot. Again, use a douche and fill with the solution to irrigate the vagina. Repeat three to four times daily, until symptoms subside.

This condition can also affect men and is not exclusive to women. Men who experience the symptoms of this condition should try combining five drops of patchouli oil with five drops of tea tree oil with two cups of warm, distilled water. The penis should be washed in this solution three to four times per day.

Essential oils for thrush have been hailed as an effective treatment for this condition. Men and women can experience the symptoms of this condition which can be very unpleasant for the sufferer. Patchouli, marjorma, tea tree and lavender are amongst some of the oils which are frequently used. Natural yoghurt can also be combined with these oils, and is known to soothe the effected area and treat inflammation.
