Lemon Water and Candida

Candida is a problem that can affect your health in a myriad of ways. Not only does Candida effect you biologically it can also have a serious effect on your emotions. It is difficult to imagine that you could significantly reduce, if not altogether eliminate, the symptoms of Candida with something as simple as a glass of water.

The Power of Lemon and Water

The natural cleansing power of water and lemon juice will help you combat Candida. Keeping hydrated is beneficial to anyone, no matter what their state of health is. Water flushes out toxins and helps our bodies run to their best abilities. Water can play a role in wiping out Candida through its cleansing properties.

Lemon Water Benefits

While lemons are acidic outside teh body, when they enter the digestive system, they have a alkalizing affect on the body. The alkalizing properties of lemon can naturally assist the body in cutting back the number of fungal cells in the body, effectively reducing the symptoms of Candida. Lemon is nature’s antiseptic, and has been used in natural systems of medicine for hundreds of years. Lemon juice works wonders on your digestive system as well. It reduces belching and bloating by speeding up the cleansing of the bowels.

Try a Lemon Water Detox

If you would like to take a natural approach to treating your Candida, a lemon detox cleanse is a good option. You will need to drink between two and eight glasses of the lemon water each day. Your best plan of attack against using lemon water is to make sure you drink eight glasses of water a day.

To make up the lemon water you will need;

• One tablespoon of lemon juice
  One cup of boiled water
  A pinch of cayenne pepper
  A dash of organic maple syrup

It’s important that the maple syrup does not have any corn syrup in it as this can stimulate the growth of the Candida. Once mixed together allow to cool before drinking. It’s a good idea to stretch out your eight glasses over the course of the day.

Stick with the Lemon Water Diet

You should stick to the cleanse for at least two weeks. The lemon water will rid the body of many toxins and restore the natural balance of good and bad bacteria in the digestive system. While doing the cleanse it is important to steer clear of foods that can aggravate the Candida further, wiping out your good work. Have a look at the Candida Diet ideas. You may like to make up two liters of the mixture at night time to use the following day.

Many people have found that their Candida has completely gone just from adding this simple regime to their lives. Before you subject your body to harmful antibiotics or other invasive Candida treatments, why not give this natural alternative a try?
