Remedies
Thrush
Treat for thrush just in case.
Although grapefruit seed extract (GSE) was not widely used until the 1970s, its use since then has rocketed as both doctors and patients have realized its broad applications against all kinds of infections, including Candida overgrowth.
In a 1990 study, grapefruit seed extract was found to perform as well or better than 30 antibiotics and 18 fungicides. However, as a non-toxic, natural remedy, it had none of the side effects of the other treatments!
Grapefruit seed extract has a great selection of vitamins that can both do wonders for your general health, and also help you through your treatment for Candida overgrowth. It boosts your immune system and helps to repair liver cells that may be damaged by the release of Candida toxins in a Die-Off reaction.

Mastitis
I used an enema to help relive my mastitis/clogged duct. I noticed an immediate improvement afterwards. I made sure to get plenty of rest/sleep and nurse baby frequently.
I also took 3 capsules per day of Gaia herbs: lactation support for 2 days, drank plenty of water and and made sure to eat whole foods, fruit and veggies with broth based soups and took several warm epsom salt baths and showers to help relieve the pressure and to help empty the breast between feedings.
