Lysine
Lysine is an essential amino acid. You can only get it through food or supplements because our body can not produce it. This single amino acid is used to make proteins that we need to generate functional antibodies which fight the infection, enzymes, hormones, and body tissues. Lysine is proven to inhibit the spread of herpes simplex virus.
You can get lysine by increasing consumption of eggs, red meat, fish, cheese, yeast used to make beer, and wheat,. However, in addition to the consumption of lysine, you also must consider the comparison between the lysine with other amino acids in the body known as arginine. Both these amino acids compete to be absorbed in the small intestine. So, the less content of arginine in your diet, the more lysine is absorbed. Limit the amount of arginine helps in reducing the consumption of foods rich in these amino acids such as almonds, chocolate, and nuts.

In traditional or natural medicine, several plants are often mentioned to cure thrush. Name the betel leaf, sage leaf telik, cashew fruit sticks, cucumber fruit, and palm juice.
Betel Leaf
In making the betel plant (Piper betle L) as a medicine of thrush, you can chew one to two leaves until creamed. It is kept for some time in the mouth, and the pulp is removed. Or, rinse it with pure water. the water could be drunk. In a day you may drink it one to two times.
The leaf length measuring from 6 to 17.5 cm and width from 3.5 to 10 cm, it also contains allylrocatechol, cineole, caryophyllene, methane, eugenol, and methyl ether. In fact, it contains vitamin C and alkaloids. Some scientific literature also mentioned, betel leaves contain an enzyme diastase, sugar and tannins. However, young leaves contain diastase, sugar and essential oil more than the old.
Saga Leaf
In expelling the thrush, betel can also be paired with sage leaves (Abrus precatorius.).. Because, according to the experience and research results, sage leaf, too, has the ability like betel leaves. Leaf Saga includes as thrush drug ingredient that can heal quickly and safely.
The usage can be in several ways. It can be the chewed leaves one or two times a day until healed. The number of chewed it sparingly. It can also rinse and boil it with pure water. Then drink the water.

This ivy leaf with seeds of red beans, black spots contains abruslactone A., methyl abrusgenate, and abrusgenic acid.
Meanwhile, other written evidence that the leaves mentioned in the WHO which declared in the priority list as the most used medicinal plant in the world contains glycyrrhizin, which is no less than 15%. Less clear, whether this soft organic acids are able to resist thrush or other compounds. To be sure, people have used similar this leaves acid for a long time and proved to be expelled "boils" in the mouth a little.
Cashew
Although not as popular as betel and saga, cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.), which is sometimes referred to as the cashew fruit resembling a monkey's head, it is also quite effective thrush cure. But it is not the fruit which is used, but the stem of ripe fruit.
Fruit stalk, which is sometimes called artificial fruit, swelled like a pear or guava juice because it contains water in large quantities. Be careful, do not elect the young. Artificial fruit contains a lot of young sap who can make the skin inflamed.
In contrast, quasi-cashew fruit which are ripe contains vitamin C in large amount, it could reach 180 mg/100 g. Vitamin C is dense this astringen (shrink) wound thrush, which is sometimes used to speed up healing thrush.
How to use it is to eat like a normal fruit. Or, it could also the way people used to the tempo of Ternate, the feelings rinse with water. However, you should not be drunk, because the sour taste and its vitamin C can make an intense heartburn if the stomach can not stand.

Therefore, patients must drink three glasses of it every day until cured. Again, the compounds which help thrush cure had not been revealed. To be sure, the fluid obtained from the male flower bunches palm tree after sliced and given physical treatment contains high sugar levels, so not good for diabetics.
There are many more plants have mentioned for curing thrush. However, research in that direction seems still is not attractive to many researchers. It appears from the very scarcity of research results that can be used as reference.
For a while, there's no harm in trying the plants on the anti thrush. During the usage restrictions noted, a bad influence for someone who at the same time thrush disease can be eliminated.
