Please note: A number of other websites refer to using bentonite clay. Please DO NOT substitute their guidelines or product for ours. Our clay is stronger in its action than a lot of other clays, different in its texture and the way it behaves. Our guidelines are designed to work with our products.

This guideline has been written by our practitioner Sarah Beesley to provide a comprehensive approach. The best result is gained when the whole guideline is followed. The following information is not intended to diagnose any condition or to replace the advice of your doctor.  

What Causes Thrush?

Thrush is caused by the Candida yeast or fungus. It is most often occurs where the bacterial populations on and in the body have been damaged through the use of antibiotics. However it can also occur when there has been a chronically poor diet, low mineral levels, and/or a high level of toxic waste in the tissues. When the normal bacteria of the body are damaged, it allows more space for pathogenic bacteria and opportunistic yeasts to grow in their place.

Oral or Vaginal Thrush
