Herbs for Candidiasis

The first step of an Ayurvedic Treatment, involving the restoration of Agnimandya makes use of various herbs. These include:

1. Garlic: The antibacterial and anti-fungal properties of garlic make it an excellent herb to fight against candida. It may either be consumed raw in salads or dips or cooked in food to consume on a daily basis.
2. Neem: Neem is considered a medicinal herb not only in Ayurveda but also by the Chinese, as it absorbs the free radicals in the body and restores the body to good health. These radicals if left free are capable of damaging the healthy cells and spreading infections in the body.
3. Asparagus:  According to a 2009 study, asparagus is not just a relishing vegetable but also its tubers and roots are extremely powerful as medications for thrush.
4. Ginger: Dried ginger is another ingredient readily found in Indian homes. Its powerful roots offer anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and digestive tract stimulating properties.
5. Guduchi: Guduchi is a plant that is native to India and is a traditional Ayurvedic herb for boosting immunity. The plant improves liver function to excrete the toxins faster, thus detoxifying the body of Candida albicans.
6. Ashwagandha: After the detoxification of the body from Candida Albicans, it is also essential to restore the immunity and strength of the body. For this Ayurveda recommends Aswagandha which has powerful immunity-boosting properties.
7. Triphala Powder: It is an excellent immunity supercharger and also possesses antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Ayurvedic Detox or The Panchakarma Therapy 

1. Virechana (Medicated Purgation) – Removal of toxins through purgation, which depends on the age, strength, and mind and body constitution of an individual. This involves purging of the intestines until completely empty and ensures the removal of metabolic toxins from the body.
2. Vasti (Medicated Enemas) – This therapy involves the use of either oils or herbal decoctions, to flush out the toxins from the lower intestines. This is extremely beneficial in restoring the natural bacterial balance of the body. 

Lifestyle and Dietary Changes 

The above-mentioned herbs help in restoring Agni and the detoxification of the body. But bringing about a few changes in your diet and lifestyle helps in the rebuilding of Ojas and immunity post the infection. A few such recommendations include:
