Candida cleanse is necessary if one has the yeast referred to as candida. To cure candida it is necessary to implement a number of strategies. A candida cleanse is necessary when there are higher than normal levels of candida antibodies or antigens in the blood. The medical term is chronic candidiasis or yeast syndrome. Women are more likely than men to experience yeast syndrome. Symptoms usually include fatigue, lack of energy, bloating, thrush, and a long list of other symptoms. A candida cleanse will usually cure candida infection.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • a healthy diet
  • regular exercise
  • quality vitamin supplement
  • liver supportive supplements
  • garlic
  • probiotics
  1. Step 1

    Eliminate or minimize use of antibiotics to prevent providing a favorable environment for candida yeast.

    Many unhealthy diets are causative factors in candida. A candida cleanse requires a healthy diet. Avoid sugar, milk, and foods that contain yeast and/or mold. Yeast thrives on sugar so it's essential to avoid as much sugar as possible.

  3. Step 3
    avoid dairy to eliminate candida

    The lactose in milk promotes the overgrowth of candida and is highly allergenic for many. It also often contains antiobiotics and hormones which can encourage candida so avoid all dairy products. When undertaking a candida cleanse, avoid all sources of dairy.

  4. Step 4
    alcohol encourage candida

    A sluggish liver is often a contributing factor to candida overgrowth. Support the liver during a candida cleanse with a lipotropic formula of choline and cysteine or methionine. Look for a customized nutritional supplement for the best quality and results. See resources for recommendations.

  6. Step 6

    A good cleansing and detoxification program always contains a high amount of dietary and supplementary fiber, such as psyllium. Three to five grams of fiber at bedtime will help the body properly cleanse candida and eliminate it. Add at least a tablespoon of ground flaxseeds as well during the candida cleanse and regularly after that time period.

  7. Step 7

    A high quality probiotic is essential for an effective candida cleanse.

  8. Step 8

    Get plenty of rest, sleep, and eliminate stress as much as possible.

  9. Step 9

    Consider taking antiyeast supplements such as caprylic acid, which should be timed release. Garlic is also antifungal, as well as coconut oil and mustard. Adding these ingredients into your candida cleanse will help boost the effectiveness of clearing your body from any lingering yeast overgrowth.
