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.

Candida is yeast that usually appears in your body in small numbers. Your body produces its own beneficial bacteria that control the level of yeast in your body. Taking antibiotics can be essential to combat an infection, but it can destroy or seriously deplete your good bacteria levels. As a result, this type of yeast is allowed to multiply and spread unchecked. Natural supplementary treatments will help to support the introduction and regrowth of beneficial bacteria that are essential to help protect your body and your immune system.

Information and advice on the most effective alternative treatments and cleansing supplements for combating Candida can be found on the internet. Alternatively, health-food specialist usually provides advice on the best products for your symptoms and life-style. You should always expect to be advised to seek advice from your medical adviser before commencing any course of natural remedies. This is especially important if you have an underlying medical condition or are expecting a baby.

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.

Oils derived from herbs and plants such as peppermint, oregano and garlic are available from stores in capsules. Dosage is usually twice a day, two capsules with water. Capsules must be swallowed whole and work as a preventative as well as a treatment for this disorder. Capsules should never be substituted with pure liquid oils, which are unsafe for oral use.

To deal with severe cases of this type of infection, a Candida cleansing diet plays a very important part. Practitioners can provide a list of foods that are allowed and foods that are not. A tailored diet will include herbal supplements to be included in the daily food intake.

Your fluid intake will need to increase to a minimum of eight glasses of water per day. Your daily carbohydrates will reduce significantly. Supplements such as soluble fiber, taken twice daily will be required along with other natural treatments for Candida.
