Candida Albicans, Natural Treatment
Candida Albicans is a micro-organism, yeast fungus which is found in various parts of the body – the intestinal tract, the vaginal canal, the rectum and various other places that are warm and moist including the mouth.
Causes – over use of antibiotics and other immune suppressant drugs contribute to the over growth of Candida by destroying the “friendly bacteria”, the good bowel flora which would normally flourish and keep the fungal stuff under control.
Symptoms – The yeast fungi invade, multiply and take over the body’s cells and organs at the same time releasing their toxins into the blood stream. This can cause problems of vaginitis, rectal itching, chronic diarrhea, or constipation, bladder infections, headaches, acne, mental confusion, anxiety and nervousness.
