Candida Herbal Remedies can be useful to detoxify your body and regain lost health.

The following are my suggested Herbal remedies to prevent and control Candida Albicans:

Garlic is used in treating candidiasis. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts have reported that garlic is highly successful in killing Candida. Several reports claim that its potency in combating Candida albicans is equal or sometimes superior to the leading drugs.
In 1990, Dr. Lau and colleagues Padma P. Tadi and Robert W. Teel, reported that Candida albicans fungal growth disappeared from the cultured cells within 48-hours of treatment with an aged extract of garlic.
Since onions are of the same food family as garlic, they may also have the same antifungal properties.
Garlic can be taken in capsule form. There is some evidence that aged garlic oil is superior to other forms.
It works best when taken daily for periods of one to three months.

Pau d'Arco is the inner bark of a large tree that flowers a vibrant pink, purple or yellow, depending on the species. It has powerful antibiotic and virus killing properties. This herb is recommended in treating Candida since it exerts an anti-fungal action.
It works best as a tea, about 4 cups daily, for the cleansing stage.

Echinacea: research at the Institute for Immunobiology in Germany in 1986, found that the oral use of Echinacea purpurea clearly reduced fungal infection such as vaginal candida. Other research showed that it prevents recurrance of candida infection.
Echinacea can increase the activity of white blood cells towards Candida. It is usually recommended to take Echinacea extract three times a day during an active infection.

Barberry: it is considered one of nature's antimicrobial botanicals, due to its berberine content.It is a very powerful anti-candida herb that supports the helpful bacteria in the gut and prevents the growth od Candida after antibiotic cures. It is traditionally used to rid the body of toxins. Barberry bark has also been a long-time favorite for supporting bowel regularity and soothing the occasional and mild bout of stomach or bowel discomfort.

Cat's claw (Uncaria tomentosa): it is made from the inner bark of a Peruvian vine and has been used by indigenous people to enhance the immune system, particularly the function of macrophages, wich are cells that engulf invading germs.
Because Cats Claw is derived from the same substances that comprise the quinolone class of antibiotics, it shares similar side effects.
Research determined that cat's claw extracts greatly enhance production of interleukin- 1 and interleukin-6, two important components of the immune system, boosting the body's ability to fight Candida.
