A member asked:
How effective are pepper tree leaves for treating candida yeast infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not very...: ...and maybe not effective at all. You'll do better with standard, scientific treatment, usually with an "azole" drug (miconazole, clotrimazole, and several others). If your diagnosis has not been professionally confirmed, best to see a doctor first.
