Description

Premnapa Sisopa, Supaporn Lamlertthon, Ruchadaporn Kaomongkolgit, Pratthana Chomchalao, and Waree Tiyaboonchai tested Thai plant extracts and oils against the yeast Candida albicans, in this 2025 study. The yeast causes oral thrush and clings to dentures in biofilms that resist drugs. The team measured how well natural products stop biofilm growth, kill settled biofilms, block sticking to denture plastic, and halt the yeast's shape change.

Cinnamon bark oil came out strongest on nearly every test, followed by lemongrass and clove oils and two plant extracts. One extract cut sticking to denture acrylic by more than eighty percent. Several agents also stopped the yeast from sprouting germ tubes, a step in its attack. The authors propose these natural products as alternative antifungal options for mouth infections.
