Hey, everyone. Welcome back.

0:27.3

Let's discuss some of the best natural treatment options for Candida.

0:32.0

And you might be surprised to hear that in some randomized control trials, comparing herbs to drugs, in some cases,

0:39.8

herbs have been shown to be twice as effective as drugs. So we'll cover what herbal options

1:53.2

So let's do that today. Let's give you kind of the other side of the evidence regarding what natural and herbal treatments are available, effective, and studied for

2:03.1

Candida. As just a little bit of context, candida can present in a few different ways.

2:12.2

Oral thrushed, potentially bad breath, halitosis, maybe phlegal candida. Now, 75% of women will have at least one bout of vaginal
