BANISH this embarrassing infection with your go-to ‘immunity herb’
It can happen after taking antibiotics…
When you change your diet…
Or even as a result of having sex.
I’m talking about yeast infections.
The burning and itching can be MADDENING…
And they’re NOTORIOUSLY difficult to clear up.
If they happen to you, I’m sure you’re TIRED of dealing with messy creams – ones you have to use for DAYS if not WEEKS on end.
It may seem like NOTHING can get rid of this “down there” disturbance!
But I’ve got an herbal remedy for you today… and it just might surprise you.
It’s not one of the “usual suspects” for yeast infections that you may have heard about…
But it’s a widely used and well-regarded herb that you might already have in your bathroom.
TAME the yeast beast!
You know of echinacea as the immune-boosting herb that could help CHASE a cold away (that is, if you catch it early enough).
After all, it’s gotten to be fairly EMBRACED by the mainstream.
Heck, even folks who say they don’t believe in natural cures might find themselves reaching for some echinacea at the first sign of a sniffle or a sneeze!
There’s a very good chance you’ve got a bottle of it in your medicine cabinet right now…
But DON’T save it just for those times when your throat gets a little scratchy… and a cough begins to set in.
Because as it turns out, echinacea could ALSO help beat back yeast infections!
And those are infections that know NO season.
Yeast infections are caused by a fungus – usually, one called Candida albicans (which is why they’re sometimes also called “Candida infections”).
Echinacea could help your immune system fight off THIS pathogen, as it does with the pathogens that cause cold and flu…
But there are some actions that this herb brings to the table that are SPECIFIC to Candida, too.
You see, this fungus needs a certain type of environment to SURVIVE and THRIVE, including:
- excess inflammation, which DISRUPTS the microbiome and allows for fungal overgrowth, and
- excess sugar, which contributes to the biofilms formed by bugs to help them EVADE treatment.
Echinacea is not only a powerful anti-inflammatory…
But it also could help keep those sugar levels under control!
Research also shows that echinacea may have the ability to KILL fungi directly… by BLASTING through the fungal cell wall.
It’s even been found that taking echinacea in combination with a topical antifungal cream could help SLASH the recurrence of yeast infections…
More than the cream alone.
An in vitro study out of Iran published earlier this year found that echinacea extract was MORE effective than even the antifungal drug fluconazole – which is the “gold standard” treatment!
And it doesn’t ONLY work on yeast infections “down there”…
But also other Candida infections in other parts of the body, like thrush.
You can find echinacea in supplement form on its own… or as an ingredient in Candida support formulas… from quality makers at your local health food store or online.
P.S. Did you know that a yeast overgrowth could trigger THIS scary condition? Fortunately, it’s REVERSIBLE… if you can BEAT BACK the yeast.
