Candida glabrata, although not as pathogenic as Candida albicans, can and does attack individuals regularly. Typically individuals affected by Candida glabrata, have some form of immune system weakness that predisposes them to being susceptible to this opportunistic pathogen. This immune system weakness could be due to age, disease, steroid use, or even a lack of probiotic bacteria in the digestive system. Whatever the cause for this weakness, it is important to build your body’s natural strength, to keep opportunistic yeast at bay, after the episode of infection is done. Using some natural products, and bolstering your immune system against future attacks, is a great, efficacious Candida glabrata natural treatment.
Natural cures are a great way to fight off Candida glabrata; as this yeast can become immune to fluconazole quite rapidly. Multidrug resistant Candida glabrata is not unheard of. If you have had repeat yeast infections and prescription drugs don’t seem to work; you may have a form of drug resistant Candida glabrata. Thankfully, natural remedies have been shown to kill even drug resistant strains of Candida.
Natural Herbal C. glabrata Remedies
The walnut tree has often been shown to be able to stop yeast. One study in particular, published in the European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases [January 2010, Volume 29, Issue 1, pp 81-88] used Juglans regia (commonly known as the Persian walnut, English walnut, or in the United Kingdom, common walnut) extracts with several different strains of yeast pathogens. In this study, 48 different strains of Candida were tested. These strains represented 15 different Candida species, one of which was Candida glabrata. The other species tested included C. albicans, C. atlantica, C. intermedia, C. lusitaniae, C. holmii, C. sake, C. kefyr, C. krusei, and C. parapsilosis. Consequently, it was quite comprehensive, and should almost certainly apply to the type of Candida that is attacking your body.
The study showed very promising results, as the walnut extract was able to inhibit all the different strains of Candida experimented upon. Of the 48 strains tested, only two strains showed a higher tolerance to the English walnut extract; yet, even at higher levels, the yeast were successfully inhibited.
The renowned herbal expert, the late Dr. James Duke, recounts, in his book The Green Pharmacy, that black walnut (Juglans nigra) husks were shown to be better at getting rid of Candida than a commonly prescribed antifungal drug. Dr. Duke recommended making a tincture with black walnut husks to help kill a yeast infection. Additionally, as Dr. Duke often advised, he mixes other herbs together to create a synergistic healing effect. For external treatment, Dr. Duke suggested adding a tincture of lavender flowers, valerian root, and pau-d’arco; along with about 10 drops of tea tree essential oil; to the black walnut tincture. You can use this recipe externally (tea tree oil is quite toxic if ingested) as a great natural Candida glabrata treatment.
