Yeast Infections: Natural Prevention and Remedies
Antioxidants

Antioxidants are used primarily to ease strain on the immune system, helping it to work and recover faster than if left unassisted. Yeast infections have been shown to stress liver cells as they work to try and rid the body of infection. This stress leads to oxidization and if left untreated, can create free radicals which are known cancer-causing agents. A good dose of daily antioxidants can help to bring balance on the cellular level, adding protection against oxidative stress brought on by yeast infections.
Luckily, there’s an abundance of natural remedies to inject antioxidants into your everyday life. And they’re not just for people trying to rid themselves of candidiasis either. Antioxidants have been shown to protect against a slew of complications and can stop yeast infections from forming altogether. Without further ado, here are some of the top foods and herbs which have powerful antioxidant properties:
