Fungi are
microorganisms that are present everywhere, both indoors and
outdoors. In fact, there are more than 50,000 different species of
fungi in the environment.
There are many fungi that can live on your skin for years without
causing any problem. However, at times certain factors can cause
fungi to overgrow or change, and this can lead to a fungal
infection.
Fungal infections are usually categorized by the type of fungi
causing the problem, the affected body part and the severity of the
infection. These infections can occur on the surface of your skin,
within a skin fold or on any other area that is warm and humid and
cause intense itching.
Some common types of fungal infections are athlete’s foot, jock
itch, ringworm that can affect any part of the skin as well as
scalp, onychomycosis that affects the nails and nail beds, and
candidiasis that can infect the mouth, vagina, and urinary tract.
The severity of a fungal infection may vary from person to person.
Several factors can contribute to acquiring a fungal infection
including a side effect of antibiotics, a weakened immune system,
diabetes, poor hygiene, living in a warm environment, poor blood
circulation, a skin injury and coming in contact with someone who is
infected.
Anybody can get a fungal infection, and in today’s active lifestyle,
they are fairly common. Some simple herbal remedies can destroy the
fungi causing the infection as well as reduce the intensity of the
symptoms.
Here Are The Top 10 Home Remedies For A
Fungal Infection
1. Apple Cider
Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a common treatment for any kind of fungal
infection. Due to the presence of antimicrobial properties, apple
cider vinegar helps kill the fungus causing the infection. Plus, its
mild acidic nature helps prevent the infection from spreading and
promotes speedy recovery.
* Mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in one cup of warm
water and drink it twice daily.
* Another option is to dilute apple cider vinegar with an equal
amount of water, and then apply it externally on the affected skin.
Leave it on for 30 minutes. You can even soak the infected skin area
in this solution for 30 minutes. When done, pat dry the area
thoroughly with a towel or dryer.
* You can use any of these remedies until you get rid of the
infection.
2. Plain Yogurt
For treating a fungal infection, you can use plain, unsweetened
yogurt with live, active cultures. The probiotics present in plain
yogurt can keep the growth of fungi in check by producing lactic
acid.
* Soak cotton in plain yogurt and apply it on the infected area.
Leave it on for 30 minutes, and then rinse it off with warm water
and pat dry. Follow this remedy two times a day until the infection
clears.
* In case of vaginal infection, dip a tampon in yogurt and insert it
in the vagina for two hours. Do this twice a day.
* Also, make plain yogurt a part of your daily diet. Eat two to
three cups of plain yogurt daily until the infection is gone
completely.
3. Garlic
Garlic is a useful antifungal agent and hence very effective for any
type of fungal infection. It also has antibacterial and antibiotic
properties that play a key role in the recovery process.
* Crush two garlic cloves and add a few drops of olive oil to make a
paste. Apply the paste on the affected areas and leave it on for 30
minutes. Then wash the area with lukewarm water and pat dry the skin
thoroughly. Follow this treatment twice daily until you get rid of
the infection.
* To treat a fungal infection in the vagina, wrap one garlic clove
in gauze and put it in the vagina for not more than 30 minutes. Use
this treatment once daily for several days.
* You can also add a few garlic cloves to your food to speed up the
healing process of any fungal infection. You can even take garlic
supplements, but only after consulting your doctor.
4. Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil has natural antifungal compounds that help kill the
fungi that cause fungal infections. Plus, its antiseptic qualities
inhibit the spread of the infection to other body parts.
* Mix together equal amounts of pure tea tree oil and olive oil or
sweet almond oil. Apply this solution on the affected skin area
several times a day.
* You can also prepare a mixture with three parts of tea tree oil
and one part of aloe vera gel. Rub the mixture on the infected area
twice daily.
* For a vaginal infection, place a few drops of tea tree oil on a
tampon and insert it into your vagina for two to three hours. Repeat
twice daily.
* All these remedies must be followed for several weeks.
Note: Pregnant women should not use tea tree oil remedies.
5. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil works as an effective remedy for any type of fungal
infection due to the presence of medium-chain fatty acids. These
fatty acids work as natural fungicides to kill the fungi responsible
for the infection.
* Gently rub extra-virgin coconut oil on the affected area and allow
it to dry on its own. Repeat two or three times daily until the
infection clears up.
* Mix equal amounts of coconut oil and cinnamon oil and apply it on
the affected area. Follow this remedy twice daily to control the
growth of the infection.
* For a vaginal infection, soak a tampon in organic coconut oil and
insert it in the vagina. Leave it in for two hours. After removing
the tampon, rinse the area thoroughly with lukewarm water. Repeat
the process once daily until the infection is gone.
6. Tea
The tannins in tea can help kill the fungi responsible for fungal
infections. Plus, tea has antibiotic and astringent properties that
help get rid of the symptoms of a fungal infection like the burning
sensation, swelling and skin irritation.
* Soak a few tea bags in warm water for 10 minutes. Remove them from
the water, and put them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Apply
the cold tea bags on the affected area. Repeat this remedy three
times daily until the infection clears up completely.
* For toenail fungus or athlete’s foot, steep five black tea bags in
four cups of boiling water for five minutes. Allow the water to cool
and then soak the affected foot in it for 30 minutes. Repeat twice
daily for five to six weeks.
