Control The Yeast
The best way to prevent and treat fungal overgrowth is by supplying your gut with beneficial bacteria through probiotic and prebiotic foods. It’s also a good idea to avoid fungus-prone grains like wheat and corn and cut out excess sugar from your diet (7).
A group of Korean researchers have also discovered that the skin on pumpkin seeds contains Pr-2 proteins which fight the species of candida responsible for vaginal yeast infections, yeast-related diaper rash, and other yeast-related health problems (8).
You can also add more coconut oil and apple cider vinegar to your diet, which are both potent anti-fungals (9,10).
How To Clear Your Sinuses
Along with changing your diet, you can clear the fungus from your sinuses by rinsing out your nose and mouth with a saline solution. Just use a cup boiled water with ½ a teaspoon each of sea salt and baking soda. Pour it into a sterile eye dropper or a neti pot and drain your sinuses daily.
You can also find relief by applying warm compresses to your face to lessen inflammation or inhaling the steam of oregano, tea tree, eucalyptus, or thyme essential oil, which all have anti-fungal properties (11).
