Candidiasis is a problem caused by a fungus called Candida, which causes infections in
the genital area, but can affect other areas.
It is more common in women, but men can also be affected by it.
Even though it's uncomfortable and annoying, the good news is that there’s a cure.
The general treatment is normally done with salves or remedies that eliminate the fungi
causing the disease, and help relieve the symptoms.
In today's video, we're going to show you eight home remedies to treat candidiasis:
Oregano
Oregano contains natural antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory substances that eliminate
the Candida fungal cells.
Put 1 tablespoon of oregano in 500 milliliters of hot water.
Mix them well in a medium sized bowl, and wash your genitals with this water until it
cools.
Do this daily, before going to bed, and don't wear underwear when you sleep until the symptoms
disappear.
Baking soda
Baking soda's natural antibiotic and anti-fungal properties are well known, and can help with
candidiasis.
Pour 50 grams of baking soda in a medium sized bowl of hot water and wash your intimate areas
with this water for about 20 minutes.
Repeat this procedure every day for a week.
Garlic
Garlic is considered to be a natural antibiotic and anti-fungal that inhibits a series of
bacteria and fungi relieving the symptoms of candidiasis.
Consume two cloves of garlic a day, alone, or mixed with other foods, and it will help
boost your immune system, and keep your body safe from unwanted invaders.
Vinegar
Vinegar, especially apple cider vinegar, contains substances that control the development of
fungi, and balance your body's pH levels.
Its pH levels are the same as your genitals, and can help you avoid acidity in that area,
and keep candidiasis from appearing.
You can put 4 spoonfuls of vinegar in a bowl with half a liter of warm water, and wash
the affected area for 20 minutes every day, or mix 1 spoonful of vinegar in a cup with
200 milliliters of water, and drink it before breakfast until the infection goes away.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil contains substances that are considered to be anti-microbial (saturated fats), and
that can exterminate several types of fungi, including Candida.
You can take a tablespoon of coconut oil a day, implement it into your daily eating habits,
or even rub it on the area up to 3 times a day until the symptoms cease.
Dandelion
Dandelion is a plant, and its sap is full of vitamins and important minerals, which
treat problems caused by fungi and bacteria, meaning that it contains anti-fungal properties
that lessen the development of candidiasis.
Put 2 tablespoons of dandelion in a liter of boiling water.
Wait for it to steep for a few minutes and then let it cool slightly.
Strain it and drink the tea 2 to 3 times a day until the symptoms disappear.
Natural yogurt
Natural yogurt has probiotics and good bacteria that keep the good cells healthy and kill
the bad ones.
So, they fight infections caused by fungi such as Candida.
In order for the yogurt to lessen the acidity of your genitals and fight the fungi, put
it on the affected area (about a tablespoon worth), and let it sit for around an hour.
Repeat this process twice a day until the symptoms disappear.
Honey
Honey is a great natural remedy to treat candidiasis due to its anti-fungal properties.
Apply the honey on the affected area and wash it off with warm water 15 to 20 minutes later.
Apart from these home remedies, some changes in our lifestyle may also help speed up the
treatment.
A diet low in sugar helps your body fight fungi easier, and cure candidiasis quicker.
