Candida infection is a very common condition, as a matter of fact, 75% of all women will contract it at least once in their lifetimes. Candida infection is in particular common in persons with diabetes and in people who are obese. Candida infection is not confined to the mouth; it can happen in other parts of the body as well, inducing diaper dermatitis in babies or vaginal yeast infections in women. Candida infection is more common following antibiotic use, which can wipe out off the bacteria that commonly live on mucus membranes, and otherwise suppress overgrowth by candida. More common causes of antibiotics include antibiotics, contraceptive pills or HRT, steroid creams, hormonal changes, dental amalgam poisoning, chemical poisoning from the household and office and stress.
Candida infection is a condition which will slowly degenerates the immune system. Due to this, candida infection can lead to more serious diseases such as cancer or diabetes if left untreated. Candida infection can also lead to emotional and disturbance. Some women are found to be constantly complaining of "imaginary" symptoms of illness of which doctors prescribe anti-depressants which not only aggravate the condition but lead to destruction of the person's self-pride.
There is no clear medication for candida infection. Antibiotics and steroids will only make things worse. There are many more effective natural remedies for candida. Nonetheless, any candida natural remedies are more efficient if you begin your healing process from the basics.
1. Adopt a sugar free low carb diet.
Candida thrive on sugar, so you can start by doing away with all sugars from your diet. This is an important step to stave the yeast from multiplying. Avoid all sweet foods, honey, fruit juices, dried and fresh fruits. Avoid milk and dairy products because of their high content of lactose and antibiotic residues. You should also avoid alcohol, bread, potatoes and other high carb food as they can be broken down into sugars and promote candida growth.
2. Stay away from any food which consists of yeast
This includes yeast extract, stock cubes, bread, alcoholic drinks, vinegar, black tea, patries, cookies as they encourage candida growth. Instead, increase your intake from fresh vegetables, especially the green leafy ones, fish, poultry. If eliminating candida causing food is difficult, you should take one step at a time. For instance, give up yeast and sugary products for the first month, second month, give up dairy products, and third month, give up bread and so on.
3. Include natural antifungals in your diet
Try to include these natural antifungals in your diet and cooking. Oregano, fennel, basil, coriander, parsley, mint, garlic, rosemary, thyme, ginger, and extra virgin olive oil. They are all very potent antifungal and intestine cleansers. Garlic, especially when eaten raw, is a very effective candida natural cure.

4. Drink Plenty of Water
You might have heard this many times, but I have to stress that drinking pure clean water is the best way to flush out the toxins produced by candida as they die out.
5. Increase intake of friendly bacteria
Replenish your beneficial bacteria by using a supplement of Acidophilus that guarantees at least 2 billion viable organisms per capsule.
6. Supercharge Your Immune System by taking Vitamins
Most people do not realize the connection of having a strong immune system with addressing candida growth. A strong immune system will destroy candida overgrowth! Simple! Start by practising a healthy lifestyle with plenty of exercise and rest with healthy diet. Ensure your body gets the essential vitamins for a healthy immune system. Vitamin C and E is specially important to increase resistance to harmful organisms such as candida. Do not forget about zinc, another mineral which supports the immune system.
Last but not least, gets a lot of fresh air and sunlight. These two are what we need to get rid of parasits and harmful bacteria from our body. What I have listed above is the basics of treating candida. For more information on using garlic to treat candida as well as more natural remedies, please visit Eczema Free Naturally
