Candida overgrowth—especially Candida albicans—is far more common than many realize. It can trigger a frustrating list of symptoms: brain fog, chronic fatigue, bloating, digestive problems, skin rashes, and even recurring yeast infections.
While prescription antifungals can provide short-term relief, they often don’t tackle the root cause. If you’re ready to stop the endless cycle, it’s time to take a natural, holistic approach that supports your body from the inside out.
Here are five powerful, science-backed natural remedies that can help fight Candida overgrowth and bring your body back into balance.
Coconut Oil – Nature’s Antifungal Weapon
Coconut oil is loaded with caprylic acid, lauric acid, and capric acid—potent fatty acids that break down Candida’s cell walls and stop it from spreading.
How to use:
- Internally: Start with 1 tablespoon daily. You can add it to smoothies, cook with it, or simply take it straight.
- Topically: Apply directly to skin affected by fungal issues like athlete’s foot, ringworm, or yeast-related rashes.
Pro tip: Always choose organic, virgin coconut oil for maximum potency.
Raw Garlic – The Immune-Boosting Antifungal
Garlic is nature’s antibiotic—and it’s a serious enemy of Candida. The compound allicin is responsible for garlic’s strong antifungal properties, while also boosting immune defense.
How to use:
- Raw: Crush 1–2 cloves and let them sit for 10 minutes before swallowing with water or olive oil.
- Supplements: If raw garlic is too strong, opt for odorless capsules.
Start slowly to avoid stomach discomfort, especially if you’re new to raw garlic.

Pau D’Arco Tea – Ancient Herbal Candida Fighter
Pau d’Arco, a traditional remedy from South America, contains lapachol and beta-lapachone—compounds known to inhibit yeast and fungal growth.
How to use:
- Tea: Steep the inner bark in hot water and enjoy 1–2 cups daily.
- Capsules: A convenient option if you’re not a tea drinker.
Consistency is key—drink it regularly for at least 2–3 weeks for the best results.
Apple Cider Vinegar – Gut pH Restorer
Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (ACV) with “the mother” is rich in probiotics and enzymes that help restore a healthy gut pH—making it harder for Candida to thrive.
How to use:
- Drink: Mix 1 tablespoon with a glass of water before meals.
- Topical: Dilute ACV with water (1:4 ratio) and apply to affected areas for external yeast infections.
Always choose raw and unfiltered ACV to get the full probiotic benefits.
Probiotics – The Gut’s Defense Army
Candida overgrowth often happens when your gut microbiome is imbalanced. Probiotics help repopulate your intestines with beneficial bacteria that naturally keep yeast under control.
Best sources:
- Fermented foods: Unsweetened yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, kombucha
- Supplements: Look for multi-strain blends with Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Saccharomyces boulardii
Tip: Take probiotics at least two hours apart from antifungal remedies to protect the good bacteria.
What to Avoid During a Candida Cleanse
While you’re fighting Candida, it’s just as important to starve it of its favorite foods. Cut out:
- Refined sugar
- White flour
- Alcohol
- Processed foods
- (For some) Dairy and gluten
Instead, focus on whole foods, leafy greens, high-fiber vegetables, lean proteins, and anti-inflammatory herbs.
