Candida Herbal Remedies

Candida Herbal Remedies takes a good look at what common herbs can be used to help prevent or cure candida infections.



Candida normally lives quite harmlessly in small numbers in our bodies.

It is a single-cell fungus called candida albicans and is always present in the genital and intestinal tracts.


If however, the immune system is compromised by taking antibiotics, hormonal and steroidal drugs, or by stress, the candida cells will then grow unchecked.

This can then cause some uncomfortable symptoms which can be sorted out naturally by using candida herbal remedies.

Garlic

  • Garlic not only has anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties but also has extremely strong natural anti-fungal properties, which can kill off the candida yeast.
  • Use it liberally in your food.
  • Try crushing or chopping the garlic, add to a jar of honey and take one spoonful every evening before bed, swallow without chewing to avoid the next morning garlic breath.
  • This is not only effective for candida home remedies, but will also chase all colds and flu's away.

  • Prepare the herbs of your choice as an infusion and enjoy 3 times a day.
  • You can also try making a stronger infusion and then use as a mouthwash or gargle for oral thrush.
