Remedies for oral fungal infections

Remedies for oral fungal infections: Professor Akim Bouterra's guidance, complemented by what the research says (warts, herpes and fungal infections, propolis, royal jelly and hive products), the precautions to know, and our resources to go further.

Honey products are well known to be effective against mouth problems, especially propolis. The best option for oral thrush is a propolis-based spray.

You can also drink sage herbal tea or use it as a gargle. Apple cider vinegar is another option, which can be combined with lemon, also as a gargle before bed. To boost immunity, you can take a Chinese mushroom supplement called "reishi" in capsule form for three months.

What the science says: warts, herpes, and fungal infections, propolis, royal jelly, and hive products

Here is what published research says about the remedies mentioned above, as context — these studies examine material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.

Warts, herpes, and fungal infections

Topical wart treatments (salicylic acid, cryotherapy) were evaluated in a Cochrane review (JMIR Dermatol, 2021); on the natural side, tea tree essential oil, garlic, propolis, and vinegar are used for their antimicrobial properties (Antioxidants, 2023) (Arch Dermatol Res, 2023). Precaution: dilute essential oils; a nail fungal infection or scalp ringworm often requires prolonged medical treatment; do not scratch or pierce.

Propolis, royal jelly, and hive products

Propolis, a resin gathered by bees, shows wound-healing effects confirmed by a meta-analysis on skin wounds (Arch Dermatol Res, 2023) and benefits for oral health (J Funct Biomater, 2024). Like honey, these products are part of the apitherapy the professor recommends to support immunity. Precaution: possible allergy to hive products (especially propolis and pollen) — start with small amounts; bee venom should only be used with a trained professional.
