Stress and Candida

Stress is a real problem for those of us suffering with candida.    I can be doing wonderful, then... something or SOMEONE stresses me out.  Boom!!!  back to the acid in the esophagus.

I have eliminated as much stress in my life as I can but there are times that I have to deal with CERTAIN PEOPLE or something in life that gets my stress levels up.

It is common knowledge that stress weakens the immune system.    Just when you think you have a handle on this disease, you get stressed out and it sends you into a relapse.  It can also limit your speed of recovery.

Here is what I do when I am feeling stressed.


I drink a cup of Chamomile Tea

Chamomile has many different health benefits, it is a sedative, relaxant, depression aid, stress reliever, soothes teething and colic, calms the digestive system, settles nervous indigestion, gastritis, relieves headaches, menstruation, disorders of the kidney, liver and the bladder, hay fever, insomnia, hiccups, stomach cramps, vomiting, appetite loss, spastic pain, arthritis, is an anti-inflammatory agent, inhalant for asthma treatment; lightens, cleans, and conditions hair, used as a rinse for dandruff; skin cleanser; relieves eczema, helps ease itching, acne, burns, infected wounds, ulcers, and facial neuralgia, diarrhea aid, and is an insect repellent.

So if you have someone or something in your life causing you stress....try a cup of chamomile tea, It just might help.
