MoreMy Mom has a black tongue and I have read that it's a yeast overgrowth and I also read that Humaworm will help that. We ordered it but until it comes, does anyone have any quick remedies to get rid of it besides just brushing the tongue 3 times a day? She has a wedding to go to and is embarrassed.
Also, she has seborrheic dermatitis on her face which I read is also an overgrowth of yeast. We ordered the Humaworm cream but any suggestions that would help in the meantime would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance.- Re: Any ideas about getting rid of b... #132938

Garlic and coconut oil are both anti-fungals. You can make a mouthwash with liquid garlic and use it several times a day. Don't apply garlic directly to your tongue, as it will burn. Mix about 8-10 drops into 8 oz. of water, swish it around your mouth, don't swallow, spit it out.
Coconut oil is great! Swish it around your mouth for about 10 minutes, then spit it out. This is called "oil pulling" and is great for detoxing as well. Also, yogurt fights fungus.
NO SUGAR AT ALL! Fungus feeds on sugar. Smoking also aggravates it, so if she smokes, she might consider quitting and using patches until after the wedding.
Tea tree oil mouthwash
Mix a few drops of tea tree oil (approximately 5 to 8 drops) into a glass of either warm or cold water. Gargle the mixture for about a minute. Let the solution touch all the parts of the mouth (throat, palate, cheek lining). Be careful not to swallow the solution. Gargle two times a day (preferably one in the morning and one before sleeping).
Apple cider vinegar
Mix two (2) teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to one (1) cup cool water. Gargle with solution. Do not swallow. After gargling, dip a cotton swab in undiluted apple cider vinegar and apply directly on to the oral sores. Do not rinse. Allow to stand overnight.This is what the Mayo clinic has to say about it:

This is a reply to # 1,771,494My tongue was not black but it was pretty white and I had brushed it but that only made it worse.
Here is a post on what Dr Bailey told me to do. It might help you. It really helped me.

This is a reply to # 1,771,586Thank you both so much! My Mother will be very happy. She was a little distraught because she has great hygiene and doesn't smoke but with her IBS and seborrheic dermatits, we figured it was a yeast overgrowth.

This is a reply to # 1,771,601I hope it works for her. It made my tongue pink in no time... but then mine was not black. I wonder what makes it black?
I have had candida for years... I didn't know it until last year. I think .... I hope the candida is healed. now I am working on other issues.
Tell your Mom Good Luck!!

This is a reply to # 1,771,494Use full strength old fashioned brown Listerine to rinse the mouth several times a day. This will help kill surface bacteria and neutralize toxins.
The skin problem is probably linked to a congested liver. When the liver is clogged with toxins, the skin will jump in and help remove toxins too.
A plain liver flush as directed on the bottom of the questions and answers page at http://www.humaworm.com
might be helpful for her liver. - Re: Any ideas about getting rid of b... lljohn

This is a reply to # 1,771,494Yes! I've been fighting it for nearly a year. I could brush, scrape, and peroxide rinse until my tongue burned. The black stuff was back the next day. I tried every home remedy i could find. Nothing worked.
In utter frustration i went back to see my np yesterday. She admitted being as befuddled as i was. We finally narrowed it down to a possible connection with my stomach. Acid reflux. But were suspicious because i have no reflux pain or burning. None at all. But 3 weeks on Prolosec had helped with the black tongue.
But yesterday she sent me to a probiotics specialist as an outside the box idea. They recommendex Syntol AMD.
OMG
In one day the black is almost gone! Food tastes better. My stomach is more settled than it's been since i was sick over a year ago. Hadn't realized it bothered me until I'm starting to feel better. It all came on so gradually i guess i just got used to it.
I am inherently sceptical about this sort of things like probiotics but have to admit there's definitely something to it. I urge everyone with unexplained black tongue to go check out probiotics.
