Yeast Infections Most Common Cause and How To Get Rid of Them For Good

For context, many people don't know that a yeast infect is caused by an unhealthy overgrowth of a specific yeast called Candida albican. They primarily reside in the digestive tract and in healthy individuals, they are in a low and balance population. Too much sugar or carbs in the diet or taking antibiotics can cause these yeast to opportunistically expand. 

During this growth phase they can compromise the gut lining and find their way into the circulatory system. This spreads them throughout the body. Another way someone can experience system candida is if they are suffering from chronic stress. 

Stress increases blood glucose levels as cortisol in secreted. the glucose is a main source of food for candida. 

Women who have either high stress, digestive issues or some level of chronic inflammation are prone to vaginal yeast infections. The best way to preventively avoid this is digestive health improvement and lowering stress. Both of these can be accomplished with various herbs done the natural way. The worst way to approach this is the traditional medical model of using pharmaceutical drugs.

Conventional medicine typically uses the pharmaceutical remedy clotrimazole to treat yeast infections caused by candida overgrowth.

The listed side effects using clotrimazole include redness, blistering, peeling, stinging, swelling, itching, hives, or burning if topically applied. The side effects become more serious if administered orally and can include increased liver enzymes, painful urination, upset stomach, vomiting and depression. Clotrimazole is a drug and like any antibiotic, must be metabolized in the liver where it causes cellular damage. Other side effects, while unpleasant, are less damaging than those of the liver.

The more progressive alternatives to clotrimazole are increasingly being employed by physicians with good results. These are all-natural alternatives like oregano oil, caprylic acid, anise seed, black walnut hulls and wormwood. They represent the leading anti-fungal, anti-viral choices nature provides and have been used by many different cultures for centuries to address fungal infections. All have a long list of studies showing their effectiveness.

A pelvic exam to test for vaginal yeast infection by your physician in their office is common. But this is not least expensive. Most women choose to pickup an at home test AZO Vaginal pH Test. It is very inexpensive and effectively gives accurate results within a minute. 

• Itching and irritation in the vagina and vulva.
• A burning sensation, especially during intercourse or while urinating.
• Redness and swelling of the vulva.
• Vaginal pain and soreness.
• Vaginal rash.
• Thick, white, odor-free vaginal discharge with a cottage cheese appearance.
• Watery vaginal discharge.

One may recognize some additional symptoms along with their yeast infection that are typical of Candida Overgrowth Syndrome (COS), as it is also known. 

This can be very challenging to get under control because is it systemic. The list of ailments from COS is below and they can include:

1. Athlete’s Foot
2. Oral Thrush
3. Vaginal Yeast Infection
4. Nail Fungus
5. Jock Itch
6. Diaper Rash
7. Dermatitis

One main benefit of using solutions from nature in addition to getting rid of COS, is that natural alternatives haven’t been found to cause any of the side effects that clotrimazole or similar drugs do.

This ensures proper liver health, which is important for one major reason; when Candida albicans die-off they release over 70 endotoxins and exotoxins into the body. The liver is the organ filtering and hopefully processing these toxins to remove them from the body. Without a high functioning liver removing candida will cause damage in other parts of the body as well and is not a good choice for overall health.

When given a choice, physicians are making some smart moves away from drugs and towards these effective alternatives. All these effective natural ingredients are available in our Candida Complex , formulated to help with these and other yeast overgrowth symptoms.
