Candida is a genus of yeasts that is responsible for various infectious diseases like candidiasis. The yeast resides in the mouth, intestine and vagina and is very necessary for our body. It helps with digestion and nutrient absorption. It is found in both men and women. In normal cases, it does not cause any reaction. But when it grows out of control, these tiny organisms penetrate into the bloodstream, releasing toxic by-products into your body thus causing many health problems. Vaginal candida infection is very common in women, and there is a misconception that it is only a female problem. Other forms of candida infections include fungal skin irritation and athlete’s foot infection.
Coconut oil is made from coconut flesh and is also called kopra oil. It is very beneficial. It is believed that coconut oil can protect hair from damage, acts as a moisturizer, and functions as a sunscreen. The fatty acids present in coconut oil can boost brain function in Alzheimer’s patients. Coconut oil seems to be very effective in reducing abdominal fat, which lodges in the abdominal cavities.
Apart from this, it can be used as a makeup remover, facial scrub, lip balm and also as a body scrub. Pure coconut oil can also be used when you have an earache. It can also be used to cure warts and is the best medicine that can be used internally and externally.
You can also replace other oils in your daily routine with coconut oil. Sometimes, there may be uncomfortable reactions called as detox symptoms, particularly if you have never had coconut oil before. Detox symptoms are not side effects of coconut oil, but reactions by your body when too much of yeast is killed, and your body can’t handle it. So, try it in fewer quantities first and then increase the amount.
How to take coconut oil for candida? You can start with 1 – 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in the morning. If you don’t find any die-off symptoms or detox symptoms, then try to increase the amount gradually up to 5 tablespoons per day in divided doses. If you get diarrhoea or constipation, then reduce the amount of coconut oil intake.
Intake of coconut oil also helps protect against fungal infections of the skin including that of ringworm and athlete’s foot. Once you start taking coconut oil, you won’t need any other treatment. The oil gets absorbed well into your skin and protects your skin from all kinds of fungal skin infection.
For very stubborn yeast infections, you can try using coconut oil mixed with some freshly crushed garlic.
There are several reasons due to which the growth of candida yeast increases in the human body. They are:
It is also found that following a low sugar, low carbohydrate, and low yeast diet for a certain period, along with the addition of coconut oil into your diet can be very helpful.
Also, including foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, fiber-rich foods helps to increase the good bacteria in your body, thereby keeping you fit and healthy.
