How do I prevent or relieve Candida symptoms?
- Only take antibiotics if you have to. Essential oils can help you prevent or treat viruses, bacterial infection, and fungal outbreaks.
- Eat foods high in complex carbohydrates, protein, eggs, and yogurt.
- Boost your digestive system, as it is always poor in Candida. Essential oils can be part of repairing and restoring the digestive system.
