Baking Soda and Water Mixture
The essential home remedy for oral thrush involves mixing warm water and baking soda to make a thick paste that can be applied inside the mouth by swishing gently. This mixture will help kill off the candida overgrowth while soothing and healing inflamed tissue in the mouth. In addition, baking soda works as an anti-fungal agent and helps reduce inflammation in tender areas of the mouth.
Baking soda is alkaline and helps restore the body’s pH balance, which is thrown off by candida overgrowth. Brush your tongue, throat, and mouth with a baking soda and water mixture, using a toothbrush with soft bristles. You will need just enough baking soda to make the mix slightly thick but not so much that it becomes paste-like. Brush thoroughly for about two minutes once or twice daily until symptoms disappear. Rinse well after each brushing session to ensure all the mixture is gone from the mouth.
