The treatment methods for Candida/Yeast Infections are wide-ranging since the symptoms that it causes are so broad. Possible cures, such as probiotics, changing one's diet so that it is as sugar-free and carb-free as possible, therefore depriving Candida of it's main source of food and riding yourself of antibiotic treatment, which many consider the original cause of Candida/Yeast Infections are all popular choices. But if none of those options work for you, what can you do? There are several herbal and all-natural options available.



One of the most popular choices in dealing with Candida/Yeast Infections is the addition of shark liver oil to your diet. It's believed that shark liver oil does wonders for the body when it comes to improving the health of the immune system. This is important for sufferers of Candida/Yeast Infections since the best weapon we all have against Candida/Yeast Infections running wild in our bodies is our own immune system.

Another popular herbal remedy for Candida/Yeast Infections is grapefruit seed extract. Grapefruit seed extract is an anti-fungal solution that helps to raise the bodies pH back to a level where it becomes too acidic for the Candida/Yeast Infections to live. Helping to raise the bodies' pH level back to healthy levels is an effective way to treat Candida.

Garlic pills are another common, all-natural way to deal with Candida/Yeast Infections. It's believed that garlic can inhibit the growth of Candida/Yeast Infections in the human body since it does have some antimicrobial properties. An even more effective version of garlic, a purified extract known as allyl alcohol, has shown to be effective in killing yeast, and therefore Candida/Yeast Infections, in lab tests. The same tests have shown that the garlic can start working within hours of ingestion, making it a popular choice.

Certain oils have also demonstrated an ability to kill or suppress Candida/Yeast Infections in lab tests on animals. Natural oils from cayenne pepper, cloves and especially oregano have been tested and shown to help Candida/Yeast Infections sufferers. They showed an ability to reduce the amount of Candida/Yeast Infections in animals with a suppressed immune system and an ability to reduce the overall number of colonies of Candida/Yeast Infections in animals, as well.

Tea tree oil is another herbal remedy that has shown good anti-fungal properties, as well as anti-Candida/Yeast Infections properties. Tea tree oil works best when rubbed into the skin in areas where the Candida/Yeast Infection is present, like the feet or anywhere where a Candida-caused outbreak of psoriasis has occurred. Studies showed that the tea tree oil weakened the cell walls of the yeast, making them easier for the bodies immune system to kill off.

Lactoferrin, which comes from whey protein, has been shown in lab studies to help the body fight off yeasts, bacteria and even some parasites. It has shown to survive the stomachs digestive juices and make its way into the intestine where it can battle the Candida/Yeast Infection.

Because Candida/Yeast Infections, is a fairly new condition and is still so controversial, there really is no medical consensus as to the best way to treat it herbally. The best choice for anyone looking to treat their Candida/Yeast Infections is to speak with a doctor, or at the very least a trained dietician about what treatment is best for you.
