What is Thrush?Written by Dr. Brian Martin

The holistic approach to treating Candidiasis is to administer natural remedies, which heal human body as a whole organism. Most importantly, cause itself must be cured so that symptoms completely disappear. The connection between diet and health of immune system is very strong. Notably, sugar, dairy, yeast, wheat, caffeine, nicotine and alcohol are main culprits in encouragement of Candidiasis growth. Holistic healthcare practitioners recommend diets high in fiber, essential fatty acids, olive oil, vegetables, fruits, cranberries, and garlic. Many alternative herbal treatments are used to treat Thrush. For instance, gargling with Tea Tree Oil diluted with water often treats Oral Candidiasis. Furthermore, Tea Tree Oil suppositories and douches are often prescribed for Vaginal Candidiasis, as well as oral administration of Oregon Grape Root, Vitamin C, Lactobacilli Acidophilus, Flax Seed Oil, and Goldenseal. Due to fact that Genital Candidiasis may be sexually transmitted, holistic healthcare practitioners always recommend use of condoms and other safe-sex preventative measures.

While primary teeth will at one stage be replaced by permanent teeth, they are very important for several reasons – including chewing and speech. Once these teeth are in, you can clean them with a special baby toothbrush. Be sure to never allow your baby to fall asleep with a bottle. This will lead to tooth decay. Whether a baby is bottle fed or nursed, he will be vulnerable to “baby bottle tooth decay”. Such decay occurs when freshly sprouted baby teeth are exposed to liquids containing sugars (basically, anything other than water) for long periods of time. Bacteria in mouth will grow in sugar, which attack tooth enamel and cause cavities. The best treatment for “baby bottle tooth decay” is prevention. Don't let your baby use a bottle as a pacifier or fall asleep with a bottle containing anything but water. Also, be sure to gently clean his teeth and gums after each feeding. You may also see some teething symptoms – on whole these are fairly harmless. For example, drool rash where a red rash can be seen on face, lips, chin and chest. This can be washed with warm water and a cloth and your doctor may prescribe a lanolin ointment as treatment for this. Sometimes other symptoms can include mild diarrhoea and a cough caused by excess saliva dripping down baby’s throat. Here are some good tips to use to care for your baby’s teeth: ·Clean your baby’s mouth before teething process. You can wipe gums after each feeding with a warm, wet washcloth. ·Take good care of teeth once they start to come in. Some parents wrongly believe that because primary teeth are eventually replaced they are not that important – this is false as they preserve space for permanent teeth, not to mention help with chewing and talking. ·Actively watch for cavities – if you spot any discolouration or pitting then they could be signs of cavities. Try and avoid putting your baby to sleep with milk (or even worse sweet juice) as it could lead to cavities. In addition follow up meals with water as this helps to wash off most infant foods quite easily. ·Introduce a toothbrush as soon as possible. In addition you should monitor your baby’s fluoride intake as this can help prevent tooth decay. It’s also important to schedule a dental check up for your baby – shortly after first year is a good time for first visit. Creating good dental practice from start will help ensure that you baby continues good dental hygiene for years into future. --------------------------------------- Discover ground-breaking new baby care book that teaches you absolutely everything you need to know about your newborns crucial first year of life: http://www.global-ebooks.com/babybook.htm
