Candida Cleansing

Candida cleansing is a method of ridding the body of candida albicans, a form of yeast that is always present in the body, but is usually kept under control.

However, the yeast can grow out of control due to certain bodily changes, including dietary imbalances, medications, compromised immune function, and hormonal shifts.

Prescription medications are sometimes used, but more and more people are turning to natural remedies. Talk to your doctor about prescription options and their side effects.

One of the most commonly used remedies is a candida cleanse, which eliminates the substances that can help the candida grow.

The length of time a patient should stay on a candida cleanse depends on the severity of their symptoms, how long they’ve had symptoms, and their overall health.

Some people notice a marked improvement after only one to two weeks, while others may need to continue their cleansing for several months. Determining when to discontinue a cleansing protocol depends on when the symptoms begin to diminish, as well as when lab tests show a significant improvement. Diet is one of the most important components of a candida cleanse. Candida cleansing involves reducing or eliminating several foods, which are harmful because they help yeast grow.

An effective cleanse helps clean up the digestive system, to deprive the yeast of a place in which to thrive.

During the cleansing period, you should drink plenty of water, which helps prevent constipation and helps flush dead yeast cells out of the body. A cleanse should also include supplementation with acidophilus and bifido bacteria, which prevent candida from growing, and help cleanse the bowels.

This supplementation should continue well after the cleanse is over.

A candida cleanse should also include vegetables rich in chlorophyll, including leafy green vegetables and alfalfa. These encourage acidophilus growth and hinder yeast reproduction, which is important to successful cleansing. A cleanse should also help the liver, because this organ filters the blood, and thus could become overwhelmed by candida toxins.

Hepatic herbs, such as dandelion root, golden seal, wormwood, barberry, Oregon grape root, and bayberry, may be investigated for use during a cleanse.

Increasing water consumption during candida cleansing also helps protect the liver.

Once a candida cleansing begins to work, a condition known as “die off” Herxheimer reaction occurs. This is when the yeast is attacked and deprived of the conditions it needs to survive. As the yeast begins to die, it releases protein fragments and toxins that can cause antibodies to respond, causing a temporary worsening or symptoms.

Symptoms can include: headaches, nausea, gas, diarrhea, irritability, energy loss, sugar cravings, and blurry vision. They can last from a few days to a few weeks, and can vary in intensity. Exercising and increasing water consumption can help reduce symptoms by eliminating the dead yeast cells from the body more quickly.

Some of the herbs used during candida cleansing to kill the yeast can also help alleviate some of the die off symptoms, specifically nausea and gas.
