What is the best treatment for candida overgrowth or candidiasis?

Many different types of anti-fungal medicines are prescribed to treat Candidiasis, including Amphotericin B, fluconazole, nystatin and ketoconazole. Like many other prescription drugs, these often come with unwanted side effects, but may be necessary in the case of severe Candidiasis or where all other treatment options have failed.

Yeast infections are caused by the microorganism Candida albicans. This form of yeast is always present, but changes in the body’s environment (acid/alkaline imbalance, antibiotics, poor nutrition, over consumption of sugar, birth control pills, hormonal shifts, or compromised immune function) often provide a chance for yeast to proliferate. Vaginal yeast infections are a common problem for women—with itching, burning, redness and irritation, and a discharge that is usually white or yellowish. Homoeopathic remedies can soothe discomfort and help the body overcome infection without the use of toxic medicines. If a vaginal infection lasts longer than a week, has offensive-smelling discharge, or is accompanied by fever and a deeper feeling of illness, it is best to see a physician (in case the infection involves some organism other than simple yeast).

Homoeopathy Dosage Directions
Select the remedy that most closely matches the symptoms. In conditions where self-treatment is appropriate, unless otherwise directed by a physician, a lower potency (6X, 6C, 12X, 12C, 30X, or 30C) should be used. In addition, instructions for use are usually printed on the label.

Many homoeopathic physicians suggest that remedies be used as follows: Take one dose and wait for a response. If improvement is seen, continue to wait and let the remedy work. If improvement lags significantly or has clearly stopped, another dose may be taken. The frequency of dosage varies with the condition and the individual. Sometimes a dose may be required a few times an hour; other times a dose may be indicated a few times a day; and in some situations, one dose per day (or less) can be sufficient.

If no response is seen within a reasonable amount of time, select a different remedy.
