Coconut Oil can help to combat candida according to new research from Tufts University in Boston. Coconut oil was found to be highly effective at combating the overgrowth of Candida in tests done on subjects.

The study looked at the different types of fats to determine which of them is most effective at fighting yeast overgrowth. Scientists gave the test subjects soybean oil, coconut oil and beef fat, while the control group received none of these. When the scientists compared these groups, the mice who received the coconut oil were found to have lowered Candida levels – by up to 90 per cent!

Coconut oil was found to have a compound called caprylic acid and this has profound effects for fighting yeast infections. It was also discovered that the caprylic acid can burn tiny holes in the cell of the yeast, resulting in its death.

What are the symptoms of Candida?

The symptoms of candida overgrowth include frequent vaginal infections, urinary tract infections, chronic fatigue, mood swings, a persistent sore throat or problems swallowing, skin and nail problems, painful intercourse, along with feelings of anxiety or depression.

To find relief from Candida, it’s recommended to avoid all sugars and simple carbs such as breads and pastas as these can provide fuel for the candida yeast to grow. Killing the bacteria involved with the Candida infection is highly recommended as if it is left for too long it can overgrow throughout the body causing a condition known as candidiasis.

A diet high in fruits and vegetables, healthy fats such as coconut or olive oil, avocados or cod liver oil is suggested, while it’s also advisable to limit the amount of fruits eaten as these can be high in sugars. It’s also recommended to drink plenty of water, herbal teas, wheat grass and barley grass so that the body can flush out the toxins produced by the Candida and remove any dead or dying yeast cells.
