It’s Hard To Know If You’ve Got It

An attack of candida is not easy to diagnose properly and even your local health professional is prone to treating for something completely unrelated.

An outbreak of candida can reveal itself in many places and it can also be hidden and therefore much more difficult to diagnose.

How looking your best this Christmas starts from the inside

December is notoriously known for being a month that is packed full of social commitments. Whether it’s an office party, a suave dinner at a fancy restaurant or a mini break away, no doubt you’ll have already started to think about what to wear in order to look your best.

Beating Fatigue This Winter

When the weather is less than desirable outside and the temperatures plummet, its little wonder that all most of us feel like doing is getting into comfy pyjamas, grabbing a fleecy blanket and hibernating until the spring arrives.

Some Suggestions To Treat Candida



Most people suffer yeast infections called thrush or candida at some time in their lives. They can be found in the mouth as oral thrush and nappy rash in babies is also a cause of this fungus.

You may ask yourself what is candida and if I have got it how can it be treated?  You could go to your doctor and get a prescription.  However, would it not be better to treat it naturally? Prescription drugs often have side effects whereas natural remedies in the form of dietary supplements are wholly natural.

When the yeast overgrowth occurs, your intestinal tract is already out of balance.  This, in turn will lead to your immune system being compromised.  This is already evident, because the yeast fungus was allowed to take over.

Of what is candida now started with an imbalance between good and bad bacteria in your intestinal tract.  The overgrowth will produce toxins.  Candida can be anywhere in or on the body.  You can find it under nails under the moist area of the breast and, of course, in your private parts too.

The fungus overgrowth was caused in the first place because the intestines became oxygen poor.  There are natural dietary supplements available that deliver oxygen to the deprived areas.  Alternatively you may want to try a supplement with probiotics.

Probiotic, unlike antibiotic, means prolife and probiotics do pretty much the same as oxygenating products.  This means they will deliver  beneficial bacteria to replace the oxygen loving bacteria that have died off.

You may have to take these supplements for a little while, as the healing process is gradual.  Having said that, some people get relief of their symptoms pretty quickly, whilst in others the process takes longer.  The reason for this is that no immune system is the same. 

In older people it may take a while because as we get older our immune responses decline.  You should know that yeast infections are more common after the menopause.  There are minimal natural side effects in taking these supplements.
