We recently published a post about candida and how in the proper amounts it is actually very beneficial and essential to good health, but an overgrowth can contribute to the destruction of the digestive system.

Here at The Garden of Eden, we are committed to great health for ALL, so we are continuing our series on candida with an easy test you can do at home to check for a candida overgrowth in your body!


We suggest you perform this cheap and sustainable at home test so you know if you need to take steps to remove excess candida from your body. There are also options to have a medical doctor perform a blood or other test if you would rather go that route, but be aware that many Western medical practitioners have yet to acknowledge the realities and problems of candida overgrowth.  



Candida Test

The purpose of this test is to check the body for an overgrowth of candida.

  • Take a large glass container that you can see through and put at least 6 inches of water in it.

  • Work up a bit of saliva in your mouth, then expel it into the water. Set the container aside for at least 5 minutes.

  • You will be able to see the changes as time progresses. Check your saliva for changes over the next hour.

  • Compare your results to the image below. If the saliva is stringy, swirling, cloudy, or web-like from top to bottom of the container, OR all sinks to the bottom, then you have an overgrowth of candida. If all your spit sits on top the water, you probably do not have an overgrowth of candida.

Once you determine if candida is an issue for you, then you can do something about it! 


Candida itself is often just a symptom of other issues, so the first step is to remove the excess amount and that will make it easier to address the root cause of the problem; we'll go deeper into this in future posts.


Stay tuned, as we have much more to address in this series! Our upcoming articles will provide clear information on inexpensive and natural ways to remove excess candida from the body to alleviate the onset of symptoms.  



Our entire community followed a candida cleanse protocol using 100% Gum Spirits of Turpentine with great results! We documented and shared the experiment on the Steem blockchain first, and are publishing this free educational material here for you in a helpful series.

We hope this will inspire you to do additional research and work towards the best possible health for yourself! 


Cheers to your health & happiness!
