How to Remove Candida Yeast From Your Body

Yeast infections are caused by many environmental and biological factors, including laundry detergents and soaps; scented or colored toilet paper and non-organic tampons; feminine deodorant sprays; sexual relations; an improper diet; and hormonal imbalances and changes. Candida yeast infection is an overgrowth of yeast --- a parasitic invasion causing itching, discomfort and a thick gray to yellow discharge. Ignoring a yeast infection doesn't make it go away, and may exacerbate the problem by encouraging the candida to go systemic, a "whole body" infection, which includes infection of the brain.

  1. Over-the-Counter Medicine

    • 1

      Using Monistat-7 or the generic equivalent, which is usually located next to the brand-name product, is an effective method for curing a candida yeast infection. Monistat-7 comes with seven applicators and a tube of anti-fungal cream, which is squeezed nightly into one of the plastic vaginal applicators and transferred into the vagina. Lying down is recommended to prevent leakage and for better efficacy.

      Use plain yogurt as a natural yeast infection cure. Natural yogurt contains bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus, which occurs naturally in the vagina, and is less expensive than traditional anti-fungals. Use the plain yogurt in the same way as regular vaginal yeast infection remedies such as Monistat-7.

      Shower or bathe every day to keep body yeasts at a minimum. Dry the genital area carefully and always wear clean underwear each day. Candida albicans loves a warm, dark and moist environment in which to breed. After exercising or strenuous work, re-shower and dry properly.

      Limit your sugar intake by using a natural sugar-free sweetener such as Stevia in its place. Too much sugar leads to unnecessary yeast infections and spikes in blood sugar, which may affect your mood.

      Wear a condom to prevent unnecessary exposure to yeast infections, as they can be spread by unsafe sex practices. Avoid oral sex with someone suffering from a yeast infection, as this may lead to thrush, a yeast infection presenting white spots within the mouth.
