I looked it up-TERRIBLE stuff! I need holistic/natural remedies please?
Brief Answer:
need important details
Detailed Answer:
Dear,
Thanks for contacting with your health concern...
After reviewing your health query, I’m of the following opinion:
1. At your age (67), let me know about any of the following possibilities of oral thrush: (unless proved otherwise)
- any ill-fitting dentures?
- any immunocompromised state.
PS. people on antibiotics, having high blood sugar, with STD’s are more prone to oral thrush.
- any digestive problem?
2. Do revert back with your questionnaire, till then you can start with “Gandush” or ‘Oil pulling’ (with coconut oil) as a preventive measure.

Detailed Answer:
Dear,
Thanks for reverting back.
1. The method is simple: you don’t have to gargle just keep the oil-water in the mouth ( 3-5 minutes) and then rinse.
2. As post meal person might getting feeling of nausea/vomiting, thus is preferable done in the morning (empty stomach), and also because oil pulling done after meals will contain toxins/bacteria which can be harmful (if oil is swallowed) thus empty stomach is preferred.
