Are External Creams For Good Oral Thrush?

Natural healing practitioners think about illnesses differently from medical doctors. Their underlying foundations and principles are very much different.

Medical doctors will give oral creams for oral thrush, and sometimes they will work. But natural healing practitioners will look for the underlying cause of oral thrush and then treat that. Natural healing practitioners are looking for things that the patient does that can be a root cause or aggravate a condition. This could be lifestyle habits.

For example, think about how sleep affects the body. Hormone levels get scrambled. Melatonin levels are lower. Stress hormones are higher. Melatonin affects the immune system and without it at proper levels, your resistance to infections is lower. Then it’s easy for Candida infections to occur in the mouth and cause oral thrush.

So if you put something on the oral thrush that is topical and external, how did you help the root cause of not getting sufficient sleep? You can’t, and maybe it would work temporarily, but the oral thrush will come back.

One of the herbs that can be used inside the mouth (not external topically), is called calendula. It’s a yellow flower that heals the type of tissue in the body called mucous membranes. These are tissues that line the oral and nasal cavities.

The reason why this herb can work properly for oral thrush is because it has anti-fungal and immune system boosting properties. Calendula is a very powerful healer. Many herbs work great inside the mouth to create healing; calendula is one of them. St. John’s wort works, too. Combined 50-50 with calendula, St. John’s wort is even better. St. John’s wort is also a vulnerary; also a healer.
