AROMATHERAPY

Take 2 tablespoons of Vinegar add:

When you have completed the solution, soak a tampon in it and insert into the vagina. Do this daily, in the morning, remembering to take it out at night. Alternatively, use the entire solution in a douche, daily for three days. If you would prefer to use a bath method, add the solution made up as above to a bath that has been run until it is at hip level and ad 1 tablespoon of rock salt, as salt helps to heal the mucous membrane. (The salt addition, however, can only be used in the bath method, not the douche or tampon methods).

When the mucous membrane of the vagina is inflamed and very sore it is sometimes better to use another method- bicarbonate of soda. This works in the opposite way to yogurt or vinegar methods as it increases the alkaline content of the vagina instead of the acid content, making the vagina too alkaline for the fungus of Candida to grow.

The bicarbonate of soda treatment for Thrush
Dilute half a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda into 600mls of warm water, mix together well.

Dilute Lavender 2 drops
          yarrow     2 drops in one tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Although water and oil don't mix, do the best you can and don't worry about it as this is an effective way to use the soda with the essential oils of nature. You can soak a tampon in the solution and insert into the vagina, daily, remembering to take it out at night. Alternatively, use the entire solution in a douche, daily for three days. And if you prefer the bath method, pour the entire solution into the bath that has been run to the level of the hips. One way or another, you will banish the nasty little thrush fungus from your life!
