Candida: a silent intruder that disrupts your balance
Imagine a small yeast discreetly taking over your entire body, like weeds invading a neglected garden. Candida albicans can cause the following symptoms when it becomes overgrown:
Candida is a fungus that occurs naturally in the human body, specifically in the mouth, intestines, skin, and vagina. If it grows excessively, it can lead to an infection called candidiasis. Symptoms vary depending on the affected area, but below is a summary of the most common symptoms: General symptoms of chronic (systemic) candidiasis Persistent fatigue, unexplained exhaustion Brain fog (difficulty concentrating, confusion) Irritability, mood swings, anxiety, and even depression Sugar or carbohydrate cravings Sleep disturbances Recurrent headaches Muscle or joint pain Skin or mouth problems Itching, redness, or rash Yellow or brittle nails (nail fungus) Thrush in the mouth: whitish deposits on the tongue or cheeks Cracks at the corners of the lips Digestive problems Bloating, gas, indigestion Chronic diarrhea or constipation Heartburn, reflux New or increased food intolerances Women (vaginal candidiasis)

Coconut oil: nature’s antifungal ally
Who would have thought that this staple ingredient in our kitchens could also be a superhero for our health? Rich in caprylic, lauric, and capric acids, coconut oil acts as a real defense against Candida by destroying the bacteria’s cell membrane.
Directions for use:
Internal use: Add one tablespoon daily to your meals, smoothies, or eat it neat.
External use: Apply directly to the affected areas. Top tip: choose cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil to preserve all its benefits.
Raw Garlic: A Little Treasure with Impressive Powers
Garlic is a true medicinal treasure, hidden in our kitchens. Allicin, a powerful substance released when garlic is crushed, makes it a formidable opponent of Candida.
How to use:
Raw: Crush 1 to 2 cloves, let stand for 10 minutes, then drink with a little water or olive oil.
As a supplement: For those who are afraid of the strong taste of garlic, garlic capsules are available.
Caution: Start slowly to avoid digestive problems!
Apple Cider Vinegar: The Natural Balancer
Just as a winemaker adjusts the acidity of his wine to achieve the perfect balance, apple cider vinegar helps your body restore its internal equilibrium. Despite its acidity, it helps alkalize the body and slow the growth of Candida.
Directions:
Drinking: Dissolve one tablespoon in a large glass of water and drink before meals.
Externally: Use a diluted solution (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water) to soothe skin irritations.
Always choose a raw, unfiltered vinegar containing the “mother” to fully benefit from its benefits.
Probiotics: Your Allies for Restoring Your Intestinal Flora
Imagine your intestines as an ecosystem where biodiversity reigns. When this diversity decreases, Candida thrives. Probiotics help restore balance by strengthening the “good” bacteria.
