Candidiasis is an infection caused, in most cases, by the candida Albicans, a fungus responsible for more than half of the cases. This infection can be located in different parts of the body, such as the vagina, the esophagus, the mouth or the skin. Along with the medical treatment indicated by the specialist doctor, it is possible to resort to homemade remedies and natural ingredients to reduce symptoms and prevent it from becoming a recurring infection.

Probiotics

People who want to reduce their risk of candidiasis may find probiotics, especially in yogurt and supplements, an excellent ally to protect the body from excess candida, in addition to protecting the intestinal flora. Along with supplements, experts recommend regularly consuming yogurt without added sugars (especially the Greek type) as these favor the growth of the fungus associated with the appearance of candidiasis.

The essential oil of oregano can be a remedy

It is important not to confuse oregano found in supermarkets with oregano oil, as it must be a pure ingredient, also known as Origanum vulgare. According to the data obtained from recent scientific studies, the essential oil of oregano has been found to be effective in preventing the growth of the C. albicans. One way to use it is through inhalation or the application of a few diluted drops on the area where the most severe symptoms are manifested (in the case of vaginal candidiasis its use is not recommended).

Coconut oil works as a remedy

Coconut oil has multiple properties, among which its antifungal properties stand out, preventing the appearance of the fungus C. albicans. This natural remedy is easy to obtain and is economical. An important fact to take into consideration is that to treat the symptoms of candidiasis, coconut oil must be 100% organic to be applied directly to the affected areas.

Apple cider vinegar

If you suffer from candidiasis, it is recommended to take a 20-minute bath with warm water and add half a cup of apple cider vinegar. The acidity of its components prevents the growth of microorganisms that may be harmful to the body. In general, a bath in a bathtub is recommended instead of a shower, since the latter eliminates practically all bacteria, even the good ones, which leaves sensitive areas such as the vagina without a system of protection against the appearance of candidiasis .

Cranberry juice for thrush

Cranberry juice has incredible properties that are beneficial to the body, especially if you want to prevent recurrent candidiasis infections. Regularly consuming this juice will considerably raise the levels of vitamin C in the body, giving the body the necessary tools to reduce the frequency with which this type of infection appears.
