Abstract

The paper aims to highlight the action of some natural substances on Candida albicans crops. The observations were made using different concentrations of substances that acted under conditions of constant temperature and different time intervals. Thus, in the present study we investigated the inhibition of candida development by using essential oils such as: tea tree, oregano, black cumin, coriander, rosemary, juniper, marigold tincture and a graviola capsule for a period of 48 h; for the 72 h we used essential oils, namely: sage, mint, geranium, aloe vera, thyme, tinctures (such as: tincture of marigold, propolis, plantain and chamomile), graviola capsules, colloidal solutions of Ag ions super concentrate, of Au and Ag ions), Lady's Water, Bitter (from 50 plants with ganoderma, respectively Swedish drops), apple cider vinegar and 9% wine vinegar. For the proposed study we put all these substances on dishes with samples of Candida albicans and let them act for 48 hours or 72 hours to understand what is happening. At the end of the experiments we interpreted the results obtained and issued the necessary conclusions, ie we could know for sure if these substances used in the research study are good or not to be able to eliminate Candida albicans from the human body infected with candida.
