Thrush (oropharyngeal candidiasis) is a medical condition caused by fungus Candida albicans. Thrush in pregnancy is a condition associated to the infection of the vagina caused by fungus Candida albicans. During pregnancy, as a result of hormone change, cervical fluid has become abundant and thicker to prevent the sperm from entering the cervical canal, leading to high amount of glycogen in the vagina that promotes the growth of bacteria, causing thrush in some women.

Candida albicans are members of a large group of micro organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within the membranes, including yeast, fungi, and mold that live among the gut flora in the human mouth and gastrointestinal tract. In fact, under normal circumstances, Candida albicans that do not cause harmful effects, but overgrowth results in candidiasis(1)

The finding of a natural source for reduced risk and treatment of Thrush to replace the conventional medicine has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in either large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Yogurt, make from whole milk may consist a powerful ingredient for prevention and treatment of Vaginal yeast infection as its promote the suppression of C. albicans growth through Lactobacillus colonization the in the reproductive tract(2).
The study of the Central Emek Hospital, Afula, Israel, insisted, "daily ingestion of 150 mL of yogurt, enriched with live L acidophilus, was associated with an increased prevalence of colonization of the rectum and vagina by the bacteria, and this ingestion of yogurt may have reduced episodes of BV."(3).
Vitamin C found abundantly in orange, a water soluble vitamin, as free radical scavengers and regenerated oxidized vitamin E for immune support may be a potential ingredient for treatment of vaginal yeast infection(4).
Feminella Vagi C, a commercial product of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) exhibited anti bacterial vaginosis (BV) and/or mycotic infection activity when used conjunction with Nifuratel, Nistatin)(5) leading to higher percentage of clinically recovery (86.7% vs 84.6%), better microbiological cleaning (86.7% vs 82.1%) and longer effect of treatment.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root is the genus Zingiber, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil, used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat morning sickness, gastroparesis, constipation,...etc. According to the Teikyo University Institute of Medical Mycology, ginger essential oils, and particularly those from seed and air-dried rhizomes, had potent inhibitory activity, particular the 6]-shogaol constituent(6).

Dr. Giriraju A and Dr. Yunus GY. said, " 10% ethanolic ginger extract showed: (a) Maximum zone of inhibition of 8 mm, 14 mm, and 11 mm against S. mutans, C. albicans, and E. faecalis respectively. (b) MIC of 1.25%, 2.5%, and 2.5% against S. mutans, C. albicans, and E. faecalis respectively"(7).
Interestingly, the Institute of Veterinary Sciences University Ibn-KhadounTiaret, study suggested that use of ginger starch may allow honey benefit in constituted an alternative way against the resistance to antifungal agents(8).


The effectiveness of Orange, Yogurt,  and Ginger may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for for Reduced Risk and treatment of Thrush with little or no adverse effects.

Women who are at increased risk of Thrush(such as pregnancy) may drink at least one serving daily and women with vaginal yeast infection may drink as much as they can, depending to the digestive toleration.
