How to Control Candida

Candida is a bacteria that naturally exists in the digestive system, along with other microorganisms. When bacteria is balanced, it helps perform necessary functions like breaking down and digesting food. Certain factors, however, can result in an overgrowth of candida, causing health problems. Taking antibiotics or eating an unhealthy diet can lead to too much candida in the system, leading to symptoms such as headaches, vaginal yeast infections or jock itch, cloudy thinking, mood swings, sinus problems, fatigue, depression, and more. Keeping candida under control requires making changes in the diet and keeping the digestive system in balance.

Instructions

• 1

  Refrain from taking antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. Antibiotics can kill off healthy bacteria, creating an environment where candida can grow unchecked.

• 2

  Take acidophilus daily to prevent yeast growth and promote a healthy colon. Acidophilus can be found in yogurt, acidophilus milk, and nutritional supplements.

• 3

  Repopulate the intestinal tract with healthy bacteria by taking probiotics.

• 4

  Take a candida treatment that contains antifungal ingredients such as Olive Leaf extract, grapefruit seed extract, garlic, Black Walnut, and Pau d'Arco.

• 5

  Take supplements to boost the immune system and eliminate toxins, such as Echinacea, Siberian Eleuthero, and Alma Berry.

• 6

  Take supplements that help regulate the digestive system, such as Dandelion Root, Peppermint Leaf, and White Tea Leaf extract.

• 7

  Consume green algae such as Spirulina and Chlorella to help restore balance to the digestive system.

• 8

  Keep your home healthy and non-toxic. Chemicals can contribute to a weakened immune system and allow yeast to grow. Use non-toxic cleaning products and personal care products.
