Homeopathic remedy for candida albicans

Candidiasis

Candida albicans is a yeast normally found living on the skin, vagina and in the lower parts of digestive tract. Our immune system regulates the growth of this yeast, and as long as we are healthy nothing happens. Use of antibiotics, steroid hormones or immunosuppressant medications, and also some environmental factors or too much sugar in our diet disturb our immunity and lead to yeast overgrowth. The condition is also called candidiasis.

Women suffer frequently from yeast infections. The most common are vaginal infections, followed by redness, itching and irritation and usually white or yellow discharge. Patients may experience fever, change in the smell of the discharge or the infection could last more than a week. If that happens, it might be some other infection than yeast, so it’s the best to consult your doctor.
