Oral Candida and Thrush Treatments Are So Easy

The most common oral Candida (Thrush) treatment is Gentian Violet.

This yeast infection home remedy is very popular.

The name refers to the colour of the treatment. The colour is like that of the petals of a gentian flower.

This treatment, however, is not made from gentians. Gentian violet is actually made from coal tar.

It is typically prepared as a weak 1% solution mixed with water.

You paint it on your tongue or gums to treat or prevent oral Candida fungal infections.
