New Hints About Guide To Tips On 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.

The body can cope successfully with small quantities of the Candida yeast. It produces beneficial bacteria, which help to control the growth of the yeast. However, when antibiotics enter the body, they can sometimes destroy the good bacteria, leaving the fungus growth unchecked. Natural products and supplements can help to re-establish the growth of good bacteria and eliminate the spread and encourage the fungus back to its normal safe levels.

The internet is a useful source of information on the use of alternative treatments and remedies. Alternatively, a visit to the local health-food supplier is a good way to obtain products, advice and a one to one consultation with a professional practitioner. You should always consult your medical adviser if you have diabetes or some other medical condition that affects your immune system before using alternative remedies. The same applies if you think or know you are pregnant.

If you choose to arrange an appointment with a qualified alternative medical practitioner, you can expect a full assessment of your needs. Your program will usually contain dietary and life-style advice to meet your individual circumstances. You can expect to reap some benefits within two to four weeks of starting on your program.

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.

When using natural treatments for Candida, fiber is an important supplement and should be taken in a soluble form twice a day for best results. Your carbohydrate daily quota will be reduced to almost nil for at least the first few weeks. You will be advised to increase your fluid intake to a minimum of eight glasses of water per day.
