Sufferers of vaginal thrush may well be able to banish their symptoms with a daily Thrushaway Green Smoothie. Candida is another name for the itching, redness around the vagina, thick white discharge (no smell), burning when urinating and pain during sex that typify thrush. This smoothie provides the body with micronutrients – building blocks for every cell. It shifts the pH balance towards an alkaline state, which deters yeast overgrowth and infection. After two weeks you’ll notice the difference.
Into a blender put:
250ml of filtered water
Juice of half a lemon or lime
3 inches of chopped cucumber
A stick of celery
Quarter of avocado
Sprig of parsley
6 – 8 basil leaves
Rock salt and black pepper to taste
Blend all ingredients together and drink half first thing in the morning before eating or drinking anything else. Have the rest at lunchtime or in the afternoon,
You can add other green ingredients as you wish, plus garlic, turmeric and ginger which are useful immune boosters.
If you are not accustomed to green smoothies you may notice the effects of a detox (runny bowels). The body adjusts… er, in about two weeks.
