Candida Cleanse Tea Recipe

By

Updated 1 min read

Candida infections are among the most common fungal issues worldwide. Candida is a type of yeast (a single-celled fungus) that we all have in small amounts in our bodies. Normally, beneficial gut bacteria keep it in check. But when those good bacteria get disrupted (e.g., from antibiotics, stress, high-sugar diets), Candida can overgrow, leading to candidiasis.

Getting rid of excess Candida takes a consistent approach with three main steps:

  1. Follow a Candida diet (starve it of what it feeds on).
  2. Add antifungal herbs/supplements to help reduce overgrowth.
  3. Re-inoculate the gut with beneficial bacteria to restore balance.

This process can take weeks to months depending on severity. For step 2 (antifungal support), this simple daily tea recipe is a delicious, easy way to incorporate potent antifungals—especially when paired with our Candida Cleanse Tonic.

Why These Ingredients Work

Coconut oil, ginger, cinnamon, and lemon all have antifungal and immune-supporting properties. Coconut oil's lauric acid (converted to monolaurin) disrupts fungal cell membranes in lab studies. Ginger and cinnamon have compounds (gingerols, cinnamaldehyde) that inhibit Candida growth and reduce inflammation. Lemon adds vitamin C and pH support for an environment less hospitable to yeast.

Our Candida Cleanse Tonic complements this with seven herbs traditionally used for antifungal support and studied for their activity against candida: Oregon grape root, grape seed extract, goldenseal, ginger, ginseng, echinacea, and cloves. It's a potent liquid extract (water-soluble for fast absorption), harvested at peak potency, with no pesticides, preservatives, fillers, or GMOs.†
