2. Baking Soda: Beyond Just Baking
Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is another household item that doubles as an oral thrush remedy. It’s alkaline in nature and can neutralize the acidic environment that Candida loves. This disruption prevents the fungus from spreading and reduces its presence in the mouth.
One popular method involves creating a baking soda mouthwash. Mixing a few teaspoons of baking soda in water and using it as a rinse can tackle Candida effectively. Additionally, its mild abrasive nature ensures cleaner teeth and fresher breath, making it a comprehensive oral care solution.
But that’s not the end of baking soda’s versatility. It can also be used to create an anti-fungal paste. Mixing it with a little water and applying it directly to affected areas can offer relief. Moreover, the paste’s consistency ensures prolonged contact with the fungus, maximizing its efficacy. (2)
