Using gentian violet thrush treatment is one way to get rid of yeast


gentian violet thrush gentian violet thrush *

but keeping unsightly gentian violet thrush treatment stains from yours and your baby's skin is another challenge. For years, people around the world have used gentian violet as a natural remedy for a variety of purposes. Doctors have long told mothers dealing with thrush and breast feeding yeast infection to use gentian violet as a remedy. Sounds easy enough, right? Sure, but how do you deal with the resulting gentian violet thrush stains that can soooo stubborn to remove?

Here're some suggestions on how to avoid or lessen the chances of getting stains on your skin, clothes, etc. --

  • Strip your baby down to only her diapers when preparing to administer the gentian violet thrush treatment.

  • Same goes for mom -- if possible, strip down from waist up. Wear dark colored pants/skirt -- something that won't show the violet if any of the gentian violet solution (or violet baby drool) gets on it. Or, if you have to wear light colored pants/skirt, wear something that can be bleached.

  • Have some clean, old burp clothes or rags readily around to catch any spills.

  • Apply some olive oil (vaseline or lanolin works too ... I personally prefer olive oil) to baby's lips and around her mouth. This will help prevent the solution from being absorbed (or too readily absorbed).

  • To prevent stains from getting on your bra, wear a breatheable, disposable nursing pad. Or, make your own by cutting up old burp cloths, rags, t-shirts, whatever is 100% cotton. Fold it a few times into a square and voila! -- instant nursing pad. Also, wearing dark colored bras will help ease the worry of staining a white one. Here's a good, breatheable black nursing bra to use when you're using this gentian violet thrush remedy.

If it's too late and your skin got stained, don't worry, the gentian violet thrust treatment stain will come off in a few days. Or, if you act fast, here're some ways you can get rid of the stain --

  • Alcoholic liquids such as rubbing alcohol and vodka will typically work to removed the stain on skin, counter tops, and most flooring if used before the gentian violet dries. Be sure to rinse off with warm water after the skin is cleaned with alcohol.

  • Bleaching will typically get most gentian violet thrush treatment stains off clothing, if the article of clothing can be bleached.

  • If clothing cannot be bleached, try using a stain remover right away. I've had good results with those oxygen-based cleaners, particularly if used when stain hasn't dried.

  • If you're fast on the draw, spray the gentian violet thrush treatment stained garment with hair spray, then wash as usual. This trick also works with other stains such as magic markers, etc.
