How to Cleanse Fungus From the Body
Every human being has a naturally occurring yeast, or fungus, growing inside his or her mouth, intestinal tract and genitals. When the immune system is not functioning correctly, this otherwise friendly yeast, known as Candida albicans, can grow unchecked and cause yeast infections, rash, depression or fatigue. If this occurs, there are several ways to help return the body's yeast production back to normal levels.

One of the best ways to stop excessive yeast growth is to avoid certain foods and beverages. Sugar promotes the growth of Candida, so sugary sodas and candy should be eliminated from a person's diet. Beer and wine are also fermented with yeast, and should be avoided. You should also skip mushroom, peanuts and cheese as well.

One of the best medications available to combat an overabundance of Candida in the body is acidophilus. Acidophilus works by making the intestines more acidic, which will kill all the excess yeast. Raw garlic and fiber will also help. Peppermint oil capsules will also aid in relieving the gas and bloating that is sometimes caused by the buildup of yeast.

During the early stages of treatment, some people will experience a worsening of symptoms. This is known as the Herxheimer reaction, which occurs when the Candida is killed and releases toxins into the body. This die-off is temporary, and most people who follow the treatment and diet restrictions faithfully will notice some improvement in three to four weeks.
