Candida Treatment - Wholistic Way

So here is a snippit about some different supplements that are touted as being effective against candida candiasis or candida syndrome. I plan to start doing more reading and research but if you are eager you have a starting point.

Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is naturally anti-fungal, so it’s a perfect yeast-fighter. Eating coconut oil helps fight the yeast on the inside, and it can be used topically to relieve fungal/yeast symptoms on the outside as well. It's also anti-bacterial and anti-viral in nature, so eating it every day is an excellent boost for your immune system.


Oil of Oregano
There are a number of different phenols in Oil of Oregano; carvarcol being the most potent. Carvarcol is antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial and antiparasitic. It has been demonstrated to kill not only Candida Albicans yeasts, but also Aspergillus Mold, Staphylococcus, E. Coli, and Giardia, among other pathenogic organisms.

Clove Oil or Clove Tea
Cloves contain some of the same phenols as Oil of Oregano , namely carvarcol and thymol, among others, which are highly antifungal in nature, as well as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory.

Cloves are one of the most potent Antifungal Herbs . *Note: there is alot info out there about grinding or crushig cloves and making tea from it so I added that

Grapefruit Seed Extract
Grapefruit seed extract is well known as a broad-spectrum antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antiparasitic compound.


Raw Apple Cider Vinegar 
One reason that it is so effective is because of its alkaline nature. Not only can a small amount of it bring your body's pH levels back into line, it can also kill the Candida fungus that is causing the yeast infection.


Caprylic Acid
Among the many natural cures for candida, caprylic acid is one of the most commonly cited. This is a medium chain fatty acid (C8H16O2), also called octanoic acid, that is found naturally in coconut oil, palm oil, butter fat as well as in human breast milk. It is known to have anti-fungal as well as some anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.

Garlic
As a powerful natural antiseptic, garlic can cure inflammations of the stomach and intestine, including the Candida yeast. But unlike other more powerful treatments, garlic destroys unfriendly bacteria while preserving and boosting the good bacteria in your digestive system!

Probiotic
Restoring ideal levels of gut flora is imperative for regaining health. Much of our immune function depends on these proper levels of bacteria in the gut.


Pau'D'Arco Tea
A tea made from bark of a tree. It is a potent antifungal, and is used in many parts of the world to treat Candida and other fungal infections.
