She was referring, of course, to vaginal yeast.<\/p>\n<p>I explained to her that yeast was a fungus and that fungus occurs in nature. It just happens. Yeast grows naturally in the human body but there are ideal conditions under which it can grow in excess and cause health problems. The ancient Chinese referred to this condition as \u201cdamp-heat\u201d. It refers to a condition that could result in numerous ailments.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping yeast under control, according to Chinese Medicine theory, involves eliminating the source of nourishment and establishing an environment that is less than ideal for the growth and proliferation of unwanted fungus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take away the food source.<\/strong> If you have candida overgrowth sugar is your worst enemy. Well\u2026 so are alcohol, bread, cake, crackers, chips, candy, potatoes, cereal, and cookies. Just cut it out!
