What Is Candida

Candida definition: Candida is a naturally occurring yeast-like fungi found in small amounts in the digestive system, mouth, vagina and skin. Normally the growth of candida is being controlled by the good bacteria in our body. Candida overgrowth also known as candidiasis, occurs when the balance between candida and the good bacteria is being disturbed. Candida changes into a more aggressive fungal form that spreads and releases over 80 different toxins. These toxins can get anywhere in the body, suppress the immune system and cause a wide variety of health issues all over the body. Most candida overgrowth and yeast infections are caused by a strand of yeast called Candida Albicans.

What is Candida Overgrowth

Candida overgrowth, also known as candidiasis is very common. It is believed by many health experts that in north America 7 out of 10 people suffer from candidiasis and yeast infections. When you have candida overgrowth, it means that there is a problem in your body causing candida and yeast to grow out of control. As a result, your body has excess amounts of yeast and candida.

The excess candida and yeast usually cause multiple symptoms in different parts of the body, which can bring many challenges in diagnosing candida overgrowth as the cause of these symptoms.
It is a common problem since many of the symptoms of candida overgrowth are similar to other medical conditions. As a result, there are many cases of misses: candida and yeast overgrowth symptoms are treated individually without knowing that they are all related to the same problem of a systemic candida overgrowth in the body.

  • This is exactly why knowing what is candida and becoming aware of its common signs is so important. In the next section, will share a quick home candida test that can help you determine if your symptoms may be related to candida overgrowth.

Candidiasis of skin and nails symptoms

Many people treat these symptoms locally by using topical creams not knowing they are related to the excess yeast and candida overgrowth problem. As a result, these symptoms usually come back or become worse.

What kills Candida?

Antifungal supplements and medication contain ingredients that directly or indirectly kill candida and yeast in your body. Using natural antifungal supplements can be very beneficial as a part of the candida treatment, but it can also backfire when not used correctly. If your body is not strong enough to handle the increased toxins from the dying candida, you may experience a strong reaction known as a healing crises that can put a lot of stress on internal organs and may even prevent your body from healing.

This is a very common misconception about killing candida, and one of the biggest mistakes that make many candida treatments fail.

Many people use anti fungal supplements in order to artificially “kill the yeast” where what you really want to do is to restore the natural balance in your body, so your body can safely eliminate the excess yeast naturally – two completely different things.
