Description
Zinnat Shahina and Tanya Dahms reviewed two essential oil compounds against Candida fungi in 2024. Candida albicans is a yeast that can cause surface infections and, when it reaches the blood, life-threatening illness. Drug-resistant strains are rising fast, which has revived interest in plant oils.
Eugenol and citral have shown strong action against Candida in lab and animal work. Much is known about how well they kill, but the detailed ways they attack the fungus are less clear. The review sets out what is known about each compound alone and together, their anti-virulence effects, and the gaps that remain. It also argues for studying whole oils alongside their main parts.
