Alternative medicine methods are a popular therapy option, which patients often use to get rid of a fungal infection. And it's not surprising, so natural natural products (berries, herbs, animal substances) have long confirmed their effectiveness. Particularly effective is complex therapy, which involves taking medication and non-traditional methods.

If you compare products of the pharmaceutical industry and natural ingredients, the latter have a number of advantages. First of all, this is a gentle action, a minimum of side effects and contraindications. Such agents are safe even when absorbed into the systemic circulation. Applying alternative methods, you need to adhere to the rule - they should not be in place of traditional medicines. Since there is a risk not to cure the infection to the end, which will allow it to pass into a chronic form and the illness will last for a long time.

Most often, candidiasis appears due to a weakened immune system. The body does not cope with the inflammatory process, there are cheesy discharge from the genital tract, burning and itching. Based on the described symptoms, alternative drugs should have certain therapeutic properties.

  • Anti-inflammatory - chamomile grass, calendula, celandine, oak bark, St. John's wort. From them prepare broths which are necessary for syringings, trays and reception inside.
  • Antipruritic - plants with anti-inflammatory properties will reduce the infectious process, which helps to eliminate itching. That is why local application (baths, irrigation) quickly calms the inflamed mucous membrane of the genital organs and minimizes unpleasant symptoms.
  • Bactericidal - garlic and celandine can destroy not only the yeast fungus, but also other bacteria. Excellent for syringing the vagina.
  • Healing - chamomile, St. John's wort, calendula, yarrow. Herbs relieve pain and accelerate the process of regeneration of damaged tissues. Good help in those cases when thrush caused microtraumas and erosion on the mucosa.
  • Immunostimulating - berry of a dogrose, a cowberry, a mountain ash, a cranberry. Contain a complex of vitamins, including ascorbic acid, which helps strengthen the immune system. From berries prepare for fruit, infusions or use fresh.

Local application helps to remove inflammation, soothe irritation, itching and burning. In addition, using alternative methods, you can clean the mucosa from the curds. For these purposes, the following procedures are needed:

  1. Douching - regardless of the medicine, the procedure can be performed no more than 1-2 times a day and no longer than 3 consecutive days. This is due to the fact that not only the fungi are washed out of the vagina, but also a useful microflora, which is fraught with a bacterial imbalance.
  • The broth of chamomile, calendula, oak bark and string removes the inflammatory process and eliminates itching. The grass is poured with water and boiled on low heat for 10-15 minutes, after which it is allowed to stand for an hour. Such decoctions can syringe or simply wash the fungus affected parts of the body.
  • Garlic and broth celandine, also suitable for douching. 2-3 cloves of garlic must be insisted for an hour in a glass of boiling water. Broth celandine should be used very carefully, since the plant is poisonous.
  1. Baths - are used in the case when the inflammatory process struck not only the mucous membrane of the vagina, but also the vulva area.

You can use the same herbs as for syringing. Only for the baths a large amount of broth is needed. The procedure is best done in a sitting position in the bath or in the pelvis, for 15-30 minutes. It is enough 1-2 times a day to reduce the painful symptoms.

  1. Tampons - inserted into the vagina at night, soaked in a therapeutic agent. For this, take infusions from the leaves of eucalyptus, rosehip oil or tincture of calendula. Some recipes suggest the introduction of tampons impregnated with whole garlic juice. But because of the inflammation of the mucosa, this method can lead to more irritation.

Let's consider the approximate scheme of treatment of a candidiasis by alternative methods:

  • At night, syringing from tea tree oil and marigold oil.
  • In the morning, douching from the infusion of chamomile, sage, oak and nettle bark. You can use the infusion of calendula and chamomile.
  • Make a tampon of gauze, sewn to it a thick thread. Well, soak it in low-fat kefir and insert into the vagina, leaving for the night. In the morning, do syringing with infusion of chamomile. 5-7 procedures completely remove the itching and inflammation.
  • For the baths, prepare a decoction of equal parts of calendula, sage, juniper, chamomile, birch buds and eucalyptus. For washing, a decoction of nettles, oak bark, alternatives and lavender (2: 3: 1.5: 1) will do. It is better to spend the procedure at night.
