Natural Treatment for Candida

Natural Treatment for Candida

Candida is the common name used to describe an overgrowth of yeast in the body. Technically known as candidiasis, the condition is caused by the out-of-control growth of the fungus Candida albicans. Candida albicans can be found amongst all of the body’s mucus membranes, including those in the:

  • Intestines
  • Eyes
  • Ears
  • Bladder
  • Stomach
  • Lungs
  • Vagina

When Candida levels spiral out of control to the point of becoming an overgrowth, this can leave people susceptible to various symptoms, diseases and malfunctions. That’s when it’s time to see a Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic naturopath. Candida treatment at our clinic can help you to maintain healthy Candida albicans levels that remain at safe counts.

What Causes Candida Overgrowth?

An immune system that has become weakened, usually as a result of heavy or prolonged stress, is one of the primary causes of Candida overgrowth. Often the weakened state becomes exacerbated when combined with a heavy use of antibiotics as well as a high intake of carbohydrates and sugars.

The key to curbing Candida overgrowth – and avoiding the need to see a naturopath for Candida treatment – is maintaining a healthy digestive system and a high fibre/nutrient intake. If your digestive system’s functionality becomes impaired, it can result in the overgrowth of Candida albicans.

A healthy digestive system enables you to consume foods and have them work their way through your bowels and intestinal tract in a safe and fast manner. External factors such as extreme stress, insufficient physical activity, a high-carbohydrate diet and not getting enough sleep can all affect how well your body can process food.

What Are the Symptoms?

The symptoms of Candida overgrowth are numerous and vary in nature from vague and mild to severe and specific. Symptoms can impact every system in your body, and may include:

  • Digestive symptoms (most common)
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Fertility issues
  • Mood disorders
  • Skin disorders
  • Chronic illnesses

A MNMC naturopath can prescribe Candida natural treatment that aims to alleviate the symptoms and treat the cause of the overgrowth.

Candida Natural Treatment and Testing

Before starting treatment, your naturopath may recommend specific tests to confirm Candida overgrowth. The choice of test depends on the affected area, with options including stool analysis, tongue checks, vaginal swabs, and the candida saliva test to accurately identify Candida infection in the body.

Bring your body back to balance by seeking a more natural treatment. Candida remedies are provided by qualified naturopaths in the discreet, relaxed setting of our clinic. All of our practitioners are trained in detecting Candida overgrowth and can help you to feel restored and rejuvenated. They take a holistic approach that addresses any overall health and lifestyle factors which could be contributing to your condition.

Reviews

I have been seeing Erin Graystone for the last 5 months for gut issues I have had for a number of years. She is very knowledgeable and ensured that the treatment and solution provided was targeted and tailored to my issues which has brought me great relief and improvement. A very professional, friendly and understanding approach that I would recommend to others.
Lina is absolutely fantastic to work with. Her passion for her work shows in absolutely every aspect of her practise - her level of care, her thoroughness & determination to help.
Angela is friendly and helpful, she takes the time to explain things clearly and cares about health. I have felt an improvement since following her advice thank you 🙏
Emma is friendly, knowledgeable & very thorough in her testing so as to resolve existing issues.
Coming into the clinic it feels instantly warm and cuddly. Very welcoming. I had the pleasure of seeing Rebecca, she was amazing and very knowledgable. Rebecca was brilliant at prescribing me natural supplements that catered to my specific needs. I’d love to praise her on her communication skills also, I am Deaf, and even having my interpreter alongside me, Rebecca spoke and looked directly at me, making me feel seen, heard and understood. I would also give a big round of applause to the receptionist and other staff at the clinic, they were all very accomodating, warm and friendly.
I've been seeing Lina for about two years now to treat a skin related condition. Lina is extremely knowledgeable; she is patient and persistent but best of all, she is practical! Her advice was tailored to suit my lifestyle and commitments without being unworkable or unrealistic. She really cares and is passionate about health. I would recommend Lina 100%.
I have been seeing Erin Graystone for the past 4 months due to leaky gut symptoms and a bacterial overgrowth in my GI tract. Erin is knowledgeable, kind and understanding and really goes the extra mile to make sure you are getting the right treatment. My symptoms are greatly reduced and we are on track to a full recovery after 10 years of other practitioner’s not finding an answer. It’s been life changing. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Thankyou Erin
Today was my second visit with Lina who is so kind and caring and she has given me hope that my perimenopause symptoms can be balanced with her guidance. I have already felt a shift in my sleep which had been horrible. The clinic is so lovely, staff are very helpful and I look forward to the journey ahead of managing this transition in my life.
I've had stomach problems for years and doctors have never properly diagnosed the problem. After one meeting with Emma I was giving a breath test and found the issue. We are now working to fix the issue
