Thrush

Thrush or vaginal yeast infections are one of the most common reasons for women to seek medical attention. The symptoms include itchyness of the external and internal genitalia and a thick white discharge. Thrush responds well to natural remedies but it is important to treat it on all levels. Externally tea tree oil can be used by diluting it in water and using it as a douche or applying to a tampon. Similarly Ale Vera gel can be very cooling and soothing for the symptoms of thrush and can be used liberally.

Internally lactobacillus acidophilus, a species of friendly bacteria that is an integral part of normal vaginal flora can be taken. It works by preventing the overgrowth of unfriendly bacteria and candida as well as producing lactic acid which acts like a natural antibiotic. Lactobacillus acidophilus can be taken orally in the form of acidophilus yoghurt, or in capsules or powder. It can also be administered vaginally.
