What is Candida Albicans
Candida
albicans are members of a large group of micro organism whose cells contain
complex structures enclosed within the membranes, including yeast(2)(3), fungi(4)(5)(6), and
mold(6) that live among the gut flora in the human mouth and
gastrointestinal tract. In fact, under normal circumstances, Candida
albicans that does not cause harmful effects, but overgrowth results in
candidiasis. Non-
albicans Candida
(NAC) species cause 35-65% of all candidaemias in the general patient
population(1). According to joint study, in many cases, biofilm(
microorganisms with cells stick to each other on a surface) formation(7) gene mutations(8) and overexpression of genes(9)(10) are often associated with increased
Candida resistance toward antifungal agents.
Treatments and controllings
C. The Herbs
1. Berberis
Berberis
is a genus of about 450-500 species of deciduous and evergreen shrubs
from 1-5 m tall with thorny shoots, belonging to the family
Berberidaceae, native to the temperate and subtropical regions of
Europe, Asia, Africa, North America and South America. Europe has a few
species, and North America only two. The stem, root bark, and fruit of
barberry contain alkaloids and berberine have been used in traditional
medicine or dietary supplement, to treat fungal infections(270), candida
albicans(270), yeast(271), parasites, and bacterial/viral infections(270).
Berberine
may also enhance the immune system through its antioxidant activity(272) by preventing candida yeasts from
producing lipase(273)(274), an enzyme used to help them in colonization(274) and induced infection(274).
2. Clover(Trifolium)
Clover
used as a spice in cuisines all over the world, is the aromatic dried
flower buds of a tree in the Syzygium, belonging to the
family Myrtaceae, native to Indonesia. Tellimagrandin II, in clover oil exhibited significantly anti-
herpesvirus(275) and
anti-oxidant(275)(276) properties and antiseptic property through
phytochemical eugenol(277) used in dentistry to relieve pain(277),
prevent bacterial infection(278) and boost immune system(279).
3. Goldenseal((Hydrastis Canadensis)
Goldenseal is a perennial herb in the species of
Hydrastis canadensis, belonging to the family
Ranunculaceae, native to southeastern Canada and northeastern United
States, used widely in traditional medicine to treat
functional disorders of gastrointestine(280), including atonic
dyspepsia, chronic constipation, liver toxicity(281), etc. Berberine, a
compound found in goldenseal has demonstrated significant
anti-fungal activity(282)(283)(284) by preventing candida yeasts from
producing
lipase, an enzyme involved in colonization.
4. Oregano(Origanum vulgare) Oil
Oregano is a common species of Origanum, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to warm-
temperate western and southwestern Eurasia and the
Mediterranean
region. Carvacrol, a monoterpenoid phenol phytochemical found in
oregano oil inhibited the growth of several bacteria strains(285),
including
candida albicans due to its antimicrobial properties that disrupt the
bacteria membrane(286).
5. Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of trees from the genus Cinnamomum, belonging to the family
Lauraceae, used in traditional medicine to treat digestive system disorder(287)(289), insulin
sensitive(288)(290) and
enhance the immune system in regulated cells growth due to its
antioxidant
activity(290). The cinnamon essential oil has antimicrobial
properties(291)(292), which can prevent, limit or destroy the fungal
overgrowth(293).
6. Allspice
Allspice
also called Jamaica pepper is a spice of dried unripe fruit of
Pimenta dioica, belonging to the family Myrtaceae, native to the southern
Mexico and Central America. It has been used in folk medicine in
relieving indigestion and gas(294) and as a deodorant. Phenylpropene found in allspice volatile oils
has shown to exhibit an antimicrobial
property(295), including candida albicans(296)
7. Lavender(Lavandula angustifolia)
The lavender is a genus
Lavandula of flowering plants in the mint family Lamiaceae, originated in Asia, used in herbal medicine to treat
microbial infection(297) for the skin
and reduce inflammation(298)(299). Its essential oil components linalool and
linalyl acetate showed both fungistatic and fungicidal activity(300)(301) against C.
albicans strains in reducing fungal progression and the spread of
infection in host tissues(301).
8. Chamomile
Chamomile is a common name for several daisy-like plants, genus Matricaria
belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and western Asia
used in traditional medicine to aid sleep(302), treat diarrhea(303) and
reduce oxidative stress(304).
Chamomile besides containing high amount of flavonoids is best known
for its antioxidant(303), such as anti septic and anti biotic
properties against virus bacteria invasion(305)(306(307)) including
candida ablicans(308).
