Candidiasis. A fungal infection that 75 percent of women and about 15 percent of men have faced at least once in their life.

So, what is Candidiasis?
Normally, the fungi called Candida are present in your body in some small amount. They don’t cause any damage and don’t start a disease since your immune system keeps them on a short leash. But when your organism weakens and your immune system gets busy with something else, the fungi can begin to multiply, and so Candidiasis may appear.

Among risk factors are the use of antibiotics and wrong diets that weaken your organism.

What are the main symptoms of Candidiasis?
The symptoms of Candidiasis are different, depending on the type of the disease:

• Oral Candidiasis is common among little children. White creamy spots on the tongue and in the throat are its typical signs. The person with oral Candidiasis can also feel pain while swallowing.
• Itch, irritation, burning and white discharge like cottage cheese are usual for vaginal Candidiasis.
• The main symptoms of male genital Candidiasis are red spots on the head of the penis, itch, burning and sometimes white discharges.

How is Candidiasis cured?
Candidiasis can be treated with anti-fungal medicines. But sometimes they don’t really work, because the fungi can become resistant to drugs. Besides, most of the medicines cure one problem, causing another, and it’s not a secret for anyone. So, perhaps the best way here is to seek for some alternative natural medicine to get rid of Candidiasis and fungal problems in general.

• Garlic one of the best natural remedies against Candidiasis. Garlic is well known for its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effect, and eating raw garlic will help you to get rid of not only Candida fungi, but of many other infections and bacteria as well.
  The only problem here is that fact that not every person can just eat a raw garlic. If you’re among those who can’t do it, you can add garlic to sauces and other meals. It’s also an option to swallow a piece of garlic with water.
  The other good news is that your organism can easily develop resistance to medicines and especially to antibiotics that are usually used to cure Candidiasis, but it will never become resistant to garlic’s effect.
• Plain yogurt is also a good natural remedy against Candidiasis. Yogurt without sugar or any other ingredients can be eaten to make the organism stronger and to fight the oral Candida infection, or used in a tampon – against vaginal Candidiasis.

• Fresh aloe juice is also very good against Candida, since it raises your immunity and helps to fight the fungi. Barberries, oregano oil, peppermint and rosemary also have an anti-fungal effect, so it’s a good idea to use them in your meals.
