Candida is a yeast that is one of the many micro-organisms found in the human body. While its presence is absolutely normal, problems can occur when the yeast begins to multiply. One of the main symptoms of this over multiplication is vaginal yeast infection in women.

Natural cures for Candida abound. Everyone and his uncle has a cure. The problem is that the cure just cleanses the actual Candida, leaving the root cause to start the whole cycle again in a short time. As previously stated, too effectively cure Candida, you must deal with the root cause.

Cranberries are often used to treat yeast infections because they inhibit bacteria from grabbing a hold of the walls of your urinal tract (which usually finds its way to your vagina from there). They'll also make your vagina inhospitable for bacteria by balancing out the pH levels in it.

Another popular herbal remedy for Candida 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 to live. Helping to raise the bodies’ pH level back to healthy levels is an effective way to treat Candida.

Oregano Oil: This very popular anti-fungal can help you to achieve significant results in eliminating a chronic case of candida. Use 5 drops orally of a high quality oregano oil 3-5 times per day. It can also be applied topically, although this can often burn so take caution in this approach and try to use additional oil to reduce the burning sensation.

Yoghurt - yoghurt is one of the best things you can use for the removal of the infection. Like garlic, you can also eat it or you can apply it directly in the infected area. For best results I suggest that you do both. Yogurt is high in good bacteria that promote the natural balance of our body's metabolism.

Multi-tiered - Candida cures become truly effective when acting in several dimensions, rather than just the one dimension of dietary modifications. The all-natural approach is based on a complete program of Candida control involving diet guidelines, lifestyle changes and defined protocols.

Dilute apple cider vinegar with a little water and use as a vaginal wash. If you experience itching, crush a garlic clove and add it to the mixture. Do not douche. You can also mix warm water with salt and use as a hipbath. Soak for about 15 minutes and then dry yourself thoroughly.

Promotes overall health - Natural remedies include foods that are excellent for your digestive system, eliminates unhealthy sugars and encourages a healthy intake of water to cleanse your system. These are all excellent for your overall health in addition to being an integral part of permanently curing your yeast infection. You'll feel like you have a new lease on life.

Eat Raw Garlic: Chew 3-5 cloves of raw garlic everyday if you are serious about eliminating a chronic candida infection this is a must. It helps to chew the garlic with a mouth full of water, this can help reduce the burn caused by the garlic. Some people will chop up the garlic and then toss it into a glass and throw it back.
