3. Eradicate Oral Thrush
Overgrowth of the yeast Candida albicans accumulates in the mouth and spreads to tonsils, the roof of the mouth, gums, and the back of the throat. The yeast infection leaves white mucous lesions, redness and even bleeding. If left untreated, oral candidiasis weakens the immune system and increases the chances of developing more serious diseases.
Oral thrush is a communicable disease, and it can spread from one person to another through contact with body fluids and saliva. Adults can pass it back and forth with each other and pregnant women can pass it down to their unborn children.
To treat candida infection with a natural remedy, mix 6 to 10 drops of cinnamon oil with some green tea and lemon zest. Add one tablespoon of raw honey to the beverage and drink it as hot as possible. The anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties of the ingredients combat candida infection and prevent its reoccurrence.
