Increasingly, people turn to herbal treatments involving chamomile for thrush treatments, as they look for remedies which do not have a chemical basis. Thrush is a fungal infection caused by a yeast called candida. This is carried in the body with no problem by most people in areas of the body which are often moist or damp.
The immune system can become unbalanced though, leading to the yeast thriving much more than it should. Thrush can result, and tends to occur in parts of the body which are often moist, such as the mouth or the genitals. New mothers who are breastfeeding their infants can often fall victim to the condition on their nipples.
The symptoms are usually soreness and itchiness, with the skin in the affected area being inflamed and red. Ridding a sufferer of the condition can be difficult, but there are a number of herbal and natural substances which can complement more conventional treatments. Chamomile is one of those substances.
Humans have used extracts from this herb for medicinal purposes for many thousands of years, for a number of different conditions. For that reason, it can be a useful part of a family medicine chest. Two main varieties of the plant exist which are used medicinally, Roman and German, though both have similar effects.
The herb enjoys a reputation as an effective mild sedative, making it a popular ingredient in many people's choice of night time drink. It is often brewed into a tea, and also is reported as having beneficial effects on the digestive system. It works as an agent to prevent an excess of candida in the system.
Ingredients extracted from the plant can also be used as the basis for various ointments or salves, and these can be used on the skin. Chamomile is a plant which belongs to the ragweed family, and many people are allergic to this type of plant. Anyone using a salve like this who experiences itchiness or irritation should stop using the product.
Like many herbal treatments, using chamomile for thrush may work differently in different people. In order to minimize the chances of the treatment proving ineffectual or causing side effects, a trained professional should always be consulted. Just because a product is considered natural, it does not mean that it is always safe, and guidance should be sought in every case.
