For maintenance of healthy work of mucous membranes regular clearing, good blood supply, enough of nutrients, normal micro flora, the stable sub-acidic environment is necessary. Otherwise, there is environment at which yeast fungus lives and proliferates. Fungi intensively proliferate when in cells appear high level of sugar, pH level change (acidities), destruction of useful flora by antibiotics, at development various infections which weaken immunity. Thus there is a damage of mucous cells and "successfully" oral yeast infection developing begins.

More and more frequent there is a similar localization of infectious process and fault to it a reality of our time. The ecological situation, an allergic mood, chronic diseases are the main reasons of development of yeast infection. Remember that Candida albicans proliferates only where a deficiency of immunity is. Only the lack of protective forces of organism can lead to intensive division of yeast cells.

Still, it is necessary to reconsider the drinking mode; it concerns not to quantity, but to quality of used liquid. Yeast fungi intensively proliferate at high рН and perfectly feel in the alkaline environment. Therefore it is better to drink acidulous drinks and juice (pineapple, grapefruit, orange, cowberry and cranberry berry juices). Also, it is necessary to rinse periodically a mouth to wash away at least part of fungi cells. It is better to do rinsing of slightly warm solutions of antiseptic tanks (a calendula, a chamomile, potassium permanganate, etc.). It is necessary to rinse mouth regularly - not less than 6 once a day.

Certainly, it is impossible to recover from an oral candidiasis with only diet and rinsing. Only qualified doctor should to appoint medical products and select necessary dosages.
