New Hints About Guide To Natural Treatments For Candida

By Kirsty Bell


Anyone can get a Candida infection. It usually affects the throat and mouth, the vaginal area and can cause skin problems. Medical practitioners are aware that an infection can often occur following treatment with antibiotics. The infection is a result of the bacteria that is already in the body being depleted by antibiotics. As there is no medical alternative to antibiotics, using natural treatments for Candida is becoming much more popular.

Candida is yeast that usually appears in your body in small numbers. Your body produces its own beneficial bacteria that control the level of yeast in your body. Taking antibiotics can be essential to combat an infection, but it can destroy or seriously deplete your good bacteria levels. As a result, this type of yeast is allowed to multiply and spread unchecked. Natural supplementary treatments will help to support the introduction and regrowth of beneficial bacteria that are essential to help protect your body and your immune system.

Information and advice on the most effective alternative treatments and cleansing supplements for combating Candida can be found on the internet. Alternatively, health-food specialist usually provides advice on the best products for your symptoms and life-style. You should always expect to be advised to seek advice from your medical adviser before commencing any course of natural remedies. This is especially important if you have an underlying medical condition or are expecting a baby.

A visit to an alternative medical practitioner will involve an assessment of your diet, life-style and any symptoms you may have. You should expect to receive a treatment program which will be a mix of diet and supplements to be taken over a two to a four-week period. At the end of that period if you have stuck to the plan you will be aware of a significant improvement.

Herbal products such as garlic, peppermint and oregano oils can be purchased off the shelf in capsule form. The recommended preventative dose is two capsules twice a day to control the fungus growth. You need to swallow the pills whole and remember that pure oil liquid is not a safe substitute for the capsules.

A cleanse or detox diet may be essential to deal with severe symptoms. Information on the types of foods allowed and disallowed can be obtained for any practitioner or the internet. However, a program tailored to your individual needs will determine the right mix of natural and herbal products for you.

Your fluid intake will need to increase to a minimum of eight glasses of water per day. Your daily carbohydrates will reduce significantly. Supplements such as soluble fiber, taken twice daily will be required along with other natural treatments for Candida.
