Thrush is a very common infection, few people being lucky to avoid it during their lives.
First of all, thrush usually appears in two different areas of the body.
Oral thrush refers to the mouth's infection and vaginal thrush obviously regards only women and affects the vaginal area.
Yeast cells, which live not only on people's skin, but in their internal organs as well, start to multiply when the number of certain good bacteria in charge with their control decreases under the normal limit.
This leads to the formation of thrush or yeast infection.
Causes can vary from stress or poor nutrition to low immunity of the body owed to some severe illnesses.
Oral thrush causes pain and feeling of burning on the entire affected area.
If in a more advanced state, the infection affects the throat as well.
Thrush symptoms are easy to identify, thus people prefer to treat themselves at home, instead of visiting a doctor.
If discovered in an early state, oral thrush can be treated easily, sometimes only by eating loads of yogurt.
However, it's best to follow a more serious treatment and keep yogurt only as an additional curing method.
Yeast cell also reside in the woman's vagina.
Women have to face yeast infection very often.
While some women get away with only one experience of this kind, other have to face repeatedly renewal of the infection.
Symptoms of thrush are very annoying and stressful, often causing depression.
Itching and sourness of the affected areas are the most specific signs of yeast infection, while burning and even pain can complete the nightmare.
Thrush treatments are all over the pharmacies, some of them being efficient, other being almost useless.
However, all of them have a negative factor in common, namely the synthetic ingredients all medication contain.
Luckily, natural remedies for thrush infections proved at least the same efficiency, with nothing but natural ingredients in their composition.
