Oral Candida
If you have been told that you have oral candida, it is important to follow these steps to remove it and to prevent re-infection.
*During this treatment it is possible to re-infect yourself through your underwear. Always wash your underwear at the minimum temperature of
65 degrees C. If your underwear is made of synthetic material then they should be soaked in disinfectant first.
After the month is over (where you have been doing all of the above twice per day), you can protect your mouth from re-infections by regularly using “Aloe Dent” mouthwash.
* A proper diet is key to your recovery from Candida. You should follow the diet advice on the bottom of the candida information page which you can find here.
If you have been told that you have oral candida, it is important to follow these steps to remove it and to prevent re-infection.
- Buy a brand new toothbrush and dispose of your old one.
- Have a separate towel and flannel from the rest of your family for washing and drying your face.
- Make sure that you wash these daily at a temperature of the minimum of 65 degrees C. The hotter, the better.
- Every night you should disinfect your toothbrush. Keep an old jam jar by your toothbrush and each day use a new baby bottle sterilising tablet, dissolved in warm water in the jam jar to put your toothbrush in. You will need to do this for a full month. Make sure you rinse your brush thoroughly in between uses. You may see a white residue at the bottom of the jam jar in the morning, don`t worry - it is just harmless salts.
- If you regularly use dental floss then you should pre-soak your floss or an inter-dental stick in the solution before using it.
- After brushing your teeth you should do the following:
- Keep a cup by your toothbrush and put enough water in for you to fill your mouth comfortably to swish (around 3 oz)
- Add 2 drops of tea tree pure essential oil, 2 drops of pure oregano essential oil and 2 drops of peppermint pure essential oil.
- Swish this around the entire mouth for 30 seconds - it will taste strong! Swish around the gums, tongue, roof of the mouth and gargle the back of the throat. Spit this out. DO NOT SWALLOW. This is an anti-fungal solution and used over the course of treatment will kill the candida.
- after you have used the above mixture, use a solution called Oregadent. It is a mixture of antibacterial and anti-fungal essential natural compounds that you can apply directly to the gums, tongue, cheeks and mouth. After you have brushed your teeth and swished with the solution above, put 2 - 3 drops of oregadent on your toothbrush and coat all the mouth, gums, tongue and soft tissue with the mixture. (It is very powerful, warming and strong tasting). Spit out any excess liquid but DON`t rinse. DO NOT eat or drink anything for 20 minutes after doing this. Use the Oregadent twice daily for 1 month.
