Candida overgrowth can be a troubling issue, often leading to various uncomfortable symptoms. A natural way to help manage and potentially reduce candida overgrowth is through a targeted herbal tea blend. Using thyme, elderflower, and calendula, this tea offers antifungal and antibacterial properties that may assist in controlling the growth of candida yeast in the body. Here’s how to prepare this special tea blend and incorporate it into your daily routine for effective results.
Why Thyme, Elderflower, and Calendula?
Thyme: Known for its strong antiseptic and antifungal properties, thyme is effective in inhibiting the growth of candida yeast.
Elderflower: Traditionally used to boost the immune system and reduce inflammation, elderflower can also support the body’s ability to fight infections, including fungal ones.
Calendula: Often used for its healing properties, calendula offers antifungal and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it a useful herb in treating candida overgrowth.

1 teaspoon of dried thyme
1 teaspoon of dried elderflower

Add Herbs:
Once the water reaches a boil, add 1 teaspoon each of thyme, elderflower, and calendula.
Reduce the heat to a simmer.
Simmer and Steep:
Allow the herbs to simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes. This will ensure that the water becomes infused with the medicinal properties of the herbs.
