A new study just published in the journal Mycopathologia showed that the essential oil of lemon can be used as a very effective natural remedy against candidiasis caused by C. albicans. Candida albicans is yeast (or fungus) that normally inhabits our digestive system. In healthy people, candida does little harm because it’s kept in check by beneficial microorganisms, or probiotics. The study showed that the antifungal potential of lemon essential oils against candida yeast strains was related to the high content of monoterpenoids and the type of candida strains. The authors concluded: Our study characterises lemon essential oils, which could be used as very effective natural remedies against candidiasis caused by C. albicans.
