Candida is a yeast-like fungus that lives naturally in the large intestines; however, at times it can grow rampantly in the body system, causing uncomfortable symptoms. Gastritis, painful joints, vaginal yeast infections, mouth thrush and even autoimmune illnesses are due to this fungus. Candida overgrowth is attributed to poor dietary habits, food allergies, antibiotics, corticosteroids, chlorinated water and even pollution. Diet-free remedies for this condition are available for sufferers.
Probiotics
Bacteria in the stomach and intestines aid in the digestive process. Normally, these microflora prevent foreign microorganisms from entering the bloodstream or cells. When an overgrowth of candida sets in, however, the fungus overwhelms and erodes the body's "friendly" bacteria. This comprises immunity and places the body in a diseased state. Probiotics help restore this imbalance by boosting levels of friendly bacteria in the intestines. Probiotics can be purchased at most health food stores. The problem is that very few of these probiotics, when taken orally, survive in the acid of the stomach. When selecting a probiotic, find one with a buffered gel cap that stays intact until it reaches the small intestines where the live cultures are released and begin working. Probiotics that can survive the stomach acids are available. To achieve the full benefits of this type of probiotic, prebiotics that help with nutritional absorption can also be found.
Yogurt contains cultures and are an effective, affordable probiotics. It can be used externally on yeast infections as well.
Foods And Herbal Treatment
Garlic kills candida by releasing a sulphur component called allicin. Garlic not only eats yeast, it also contains healing properties and can boost your immunity. Start with 2 to 4 cloves per day. Garlic oil can also be used to treat candida.
Other foods and herbs that kill yeast include Reisha mushrooms, cayenne pepper, Pau d' Arco tea, tea tree oil, oregano, apple cider vinegar and organic coconut oil. Pau d'Arco tea is a powerful yeast killer; the tea bark can be boiled and consumed in a drink and is also available in pill form.
It is best to start with one of these yeast killers along with an effective probiotic. Understand that candida emits toxins as it is dying off. Consequently, when your body kills candida you normally experience detox symptoms. These symptoms, including nausea, make you sick so only take one yeast killer.
Medicines
Nystatin is used to treat candida problems in pill or powder form. It kills excess candida quickly and comes in a cream for use on rashes or an external yeast infections.
