Apple Cider Vinegar is Effective Treatment for Candida

(NaturalNews) It often takes years for someone to realize candida is the mystery

illness behind symptoms like fatigue, poor memory, sugar cravings and yeast

infections. Fortunately, once you identify candida as the problem, it can often

be treated swiftly without a prescription. Natural methods are actually far

superior to any drug on the market. One of the simplest ways to treat candida at

home is with apple cider vinegar.

Apple cider vinegar is rich in natural enzymes that can regulate the presence of

candida in the body. It helps encourage the growth of healthy bacteria, which in

turn minimizes the overgrowth of candida. Apple cider vinegar also balances your

body's pH level. These properties not only clear up candida, though. Once you

start using it, the benefits of apple cider vinegar will extend to all areas of

your health.

Buying the right apple cider vinegar makes all the difference. Much of the apple

cider vinegar you'll find in your local grocery store is simply white distilled

vinegar with caramel coloring added to it. What you're looking for is raw,

unpasteurized apple cider vinegar, preferably unfiltered and organic. This type

of vinegar will contain the nutrients you need to combat candida.

The key to effectively using apple cider vinegar to cure yeast problems is to

take it every day at a dose of 1-2 tablespoons. Apple cider vinegar can only

balance pH levels if it is constantly present. One of the best ways to

accomplish this is to sip all day on a tall glass of water mixed with one

tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Feel free to sweeten the drink with stevia

for a refreshingly sweet and tangy flavor combination. Another relaxing way to

enjoy apple cider vinegar is in a cup of hot tea lightly sweetened with honey.

Cooking with apple cider vinegar is another way to get your daily serving. Use

it in place of white vinegar or even wine in your favorite recipes. It's also

ideal for making vinaigrette salad dressings.

If you have external signs of candida, such as yeast or fungal infections, you

can apply apple cider vinegar topically to help deal with this problem. Apply

directly to the affected area or add a cup of apple cider vinegar to a warm

bath.

Keep in mind your symptoms may get worse for the first few days when starting a

regimen of apple cider vinegar. This is typical when treating candida and is

caused by the yeast rapidly dying off. You may notice a headache and foggy

thinking for a couple of days, but after that symptoms should clear quickly.
