Information For Using Lavender Oil For Thrush Medicines
by Carol Henry
The use of lavender oil for thrush and other mild infections of the skin has increased in popularity in recent years. The oil has many medicinal qualities, and acts as an anti-fungal and antiseptic agent. As well as this, it has also been used as a treatment for insomnia, as it possesses mild sedative qualities.
Thrush is a fungal infection caused by a yeast known as candida. This lives in moist areas of the body like the mouth, genitals and armpits, and is usually carried by most people with no ill effects. An imbalance in the body's immune system though can mean that an infection occurs as the body's immune system fails to cope with existence of the yeast in its normal way.
Lifestyle factors such as stress or a lack of proper sleep can also unbalance the immune system and allow thrush to thrive. Other lifestyle factors like tobacco and alcohol use, as well as diet, can also lead to conditions where infection occurs. Antibiotics also damage the immune system if taken for a long period of time, and many people experience the condition in this kind of situation.
The condition can occur in a number of different parts of the body, though it often manifests itself in the genitals and the mouth of sufferers. New mothers can be especially vulnerable to the condition, especially if they are breastfeeding their infant. Breastfeeding can cause soreness of the nipples which is often a result of the minor injuries which can be sustained when a child is suckling.
The fear of harmful side effects, especially when infants are involved, means that increasing numbers of people are turning to natural remedies which will have fewer risks associated with them. Chemical solutions may not appeal to other sufferers of the condition for similar reasons. Lavender oil is just one of many possible herbal solutions which can be used to alleviate thrush.
Tests on the oil have shown it contains active anti-fungal and antiseptic agents, and is particularly useful against dermatophytes, pathogenic agents which live on the skin and feed on keratin in nails and hair. It also works well against candida. The oil can be bought in prepared and diluted solutions which can be applied topically to the infected area of the body.
Another way of using lavender oil for thrush type conditions is to add 10 to 15 drops of the essential oil to a bath. This should help alleviate fungal infections which occur in different parts of the body. What should always be remembered though is that all substances, even natural ones, can have unforeseen side effects on different individuals and professional advice should always be sought when in any kind of doubt.
