A Candida yeast infection often takes hold when you are run down.
This may be caused by overwork, too little sleep, unbalanced eating habits and high levels of stress.
You can also become infected if you are exposed to a person with a high infection of Candida yeast.
This will happen very quickly if your immune system has been compromised.
Usually if a woman has a high infection of Candida it is passed on to her male partner.
In this situation both partners should be treated.
If you live a healthy lifestyle you will have a strong immune system.
A Candida yeast infection does cause health problems and this can happen to women, men, babies and older children.
The symptoms are very unpleasant.
It is important to start using a natural treatment as soon as you see the symptoms appearing.
The most obvious signs of a yeast infection are redness, itching, burning, pain, fatigue, nausea and vomiting.
The sooner you are able to put a stop to the fungal growth the better.
If you also make every effort to strengthen your immune system there is little chance the infection will recur.
The reason is because the only way to strengthen your immune system is by living a healthy lifestyle.
One of the most potent natural ingredients used to fight a Candida Yeast Infection is Artemisia Absinthium, also known as Wormwood.
Wormwood is an anti-parisitic herb.
This herb has been in use for many generations as a tonic for the digestive system.
Nowadays, Wormwood can be bought as a supplement.
Usually it is available as capsules that are taken with water.
Wormwood is taken before a meal as it improves appetite, digestion and gets rid of yeast infections.
However, it's not essential to eat after taking Wormwood because it will work just as well.
The objective of taking Wormwood is to restore balance by killing off bad bacteria and allowing good bacteria to flourish.
Wormwood is extremely powerful and is proof that drugs and over the counter products full of chemicals aren't necessary.
Another plus when using Wormwood is there are no side effects at all.
If there are headaches and feelings of tiredness it is due to the Candida being rapidly reduced and not due to the herb.
These symptoms are called 'Herxheimers Syndrome' and they don't last for more than three days.
Once this happens recovery is quick and you will soon have a feeling of wellbeing and relief from a Candida Yeast Infection.
While using Wormwood do not use any other lactose based medication.
Lactose should be avoided because it feeds Candida and will work against the Wormwood.
It is also recommended that alcohol not be used while using this herb.
For in-depth information regarding the use of Wormwood you could see an herbalist or any other practitioner who practices natural medicine.
However, Wormwood is available as a product that can be bought from selected pharmacies and also health stores.
All you need to do is follow the instructions in order to rid your system of Candida yeast infection.
