Strengthen your defenses to eliminate candida

Although the species that causes the most infections is the Candida albicanslately the incidence of mycosis due to Candida glabrata. It can give vaginal, digestive symptoms or sometimes even appear in the mouth.

An inadequate diet, certain drugs and some low defenses are the main causes.

How to combat oral candidiasis

The first thing you have to know if you have symptoms or have been diagnosed with a yeast infection, whether it is in the mouth or in the vagina, is that these yeasts they are in all people.

In fact, usually live in the mouth, digestive tract, and vagina without causing harm, in balance with other fungi and bacteria such as acidophilus and bifiduswhich keep them under control.

only when they occur changes in the pH and alterations in the flora, they progress to mycelia and colonize the tissues, causing discomfort.

If they affect the mouth, they appear as small whitish spots or plaques on the tongue and other areas of the oral cavity. They can be annoying and unpleasant, sometimes even painful.

to remove them of the oral mucosa, I recommend that you take some measures:

Temporarily avoid some foods,such as fruits rich in sugar, wheat or rye bread, refined carbohydrates, milk and cheese, mushrooms and starchy vegetables (potato, pumpkin…).start the day having for breakfast an infusion of herbs (mint, thyme, sage) and whole grain oat flakes cooked in mineral water and sprinkled with Lactobacillus acidophilus (You can also take these probiotics in a capsule).Consumption increases leafy greens, raw and sprouted vegetables.Include in your dressings garlic, ginger, oregano, rosemary and other antifungal herbs.Strengthen your defenses with accessories that include nutrients such as vitamin C (1-3 g), vitamin E (400 IU), beta-carotene (25,000 IU), biotin (500 mcg), copper (3-4 mg), iron (45 mg ), selenium (200-300 mcg) and zinc (45 mg). Pollen provides many of these nutrients, so you can include it in your diet, but not honey, rich in sugars that favor candida.Phytotherapy is also very effective, so you can resort to immunostimulating plants such as echinacea (250-500 mg/day), pao d’arco (500-1,000 mg/day) or cat’s claw (300 mg/day). They help immunity so that the body itself fights the infection.
