Fungal Infection: How to Get Rid of It?

Do you have an itchy, patchy bit of skin? Do you have a nail that is looking a bit funny and discoloured? You may have a fungal skin infection or a fungal toe infection. Fungal infections are sometimes very difficult to spot. It’s important to take care of a fungal infection as soon as you suspect it because if left untreated, it can lead to serious problems for yourself or spread to others. Pearl Chemist has fungal infection cream for skin and feet to help you treat early-onset fungal infections.

Here are a few top tips for dealing with fungal infections:

Eat Yoghurt and Probiotics: yoghurt has “good bacteria” that help to put candida (yeast) back into balance and can help to alleviate and prevent thrush. If you can’t take dairy, you can get dairy-free probiotic capsules that can help your gut biome just the same. 

Eat Turmeric: Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal agent that inhibits the growth of candida. If you do not like the spice itself, you can get good quality turmeric powder capsules that can help to eliminate yeast from the inside.

Take/use Apple Cider Vinegar: A scientifically proven anti-fungal, you can ingest 2 tablespoons orally per day. It can be diluted if you don’t like the taste

Use Tea Tree Oil - research has indicated that tea tree oil is an effective anti-fungal against all strains of candida albicans, including the drug resistant strains, but should only be used externally. 

Use Coconut Oil - a strong antibacterial and antifungal, coconut oil is particularly effective as a topical against ringworm infections. 

Use Aloe Vera - you can drink aloe vera juice (there are many aloe vera and coconut waters) or grow an aloe vera plant in order to break off and use its leaves as a topical remedy for a fungal skin infection.

Regardless of the area that is affected by a yeast infection, it is always advised to keep the area clean and wash with soap and water, ensuring you dry it thoroughly.  Yeast/fungus likes warm and moist places so keeping problem areas dry is the most important part in winning the battle.

Sometimes natural remedies work best in conjunction with over the counter remedies.  Pearl Chemist has a wide variety of fungal infection creams including fungal infection cream for feet available online.
