Using coconut oil for yeast infection may offer many benefits but can also cause unpleasant side effects when used incorrectly. This experts guide summarizes our experience working with coconut oil for candida and yeast infections. We looked into traditional remedies, published medical studies as well as the thousands of the coconut oil for yeast infection reviews we gathered over our many years of practice.
We hope this guide will help you enjoy the many coconut oil benefits while minimizing the risks.
Coconut oil is a very good choice for yeast infections and candida overgrowth issues, with many known health benefits and uses. What makes coconut oil especially good for yeast infections is a unique combination of benefits of coconut oil:
Coconut oil antifungal properties are well known and were demonstrated in many studies as effective against candida and yeast infections ( source 1 , source 2 , source 3 ). The fact that coconut oil kills candida and yeast can help with yeast infections and candida issues, but can also cause a healing crises or candida die off when used internally. If you have never used coconut oil internally before, start with a 1 teaspoon (5 grams) and test your body’s response.
Using coconut oil for yeast infection on skin is a very popular home remedy. Besides coconut oil antifungal properties, the fats in coconut oil can help to soothe and relieve the irritated skin. On its own however, coconut oil may not be effective enough to relieve cases of yeast infection itch, candida rash, yeast rash and other yeast infection on skin issues. For this reason, it is usually combined with other more potent ingredients such as ozonated olive oil. See the coconut – ozonated olive oil cream recipe section to learn more.
Due to its mild calming effect on the skin, coconut oil is commonly used in combination with other antifungal essential oils as a carrier oil. Most antifungal essential oils such as tea tree oil are too strong to be applied on the skin directly. Using coconut oil to dilute their strength can help making safer skin creams that are more mild and less likely to irritate the (already irritated) skin.
Coconut oil is one of the most famous candida diet staples. Coconut oil antifungal properties is one reason. The second reason is that coconut oil is one of the best natural sources of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs are fatty acids that are easily assimilated by the body, providing a quick non-jittery energy that can last for long hours. This makes coconut oil an excellent choice during the candida diet, as a substitute to high carb foods. Many people that have been on our candida diet plan are surprised to learn how much energy they get from coconut oil or coconut butter, despite going low on carbs while on the candida diet. In fact, replacing carbs with coconut oil or coconut butter is a very popular strategy among athletes that need to lose weight before a competition, but still need to maintain high energy levels. If you are lucky enough and can get a real fresh organic coconut at your local store, you may want to consider getting all these benefits straight from the source. With practice, cracking coconuts may not be as hard as you may think.
To see examples of recipes for candida diet using coconut oil:
The MCTs oils in coconut oil are well known to promote brain health and memory function. As research suggests, ketone bodies derived from the MCTs can serve as a good energy source in the brain, even better than glucose for some people ( source 1 , source 2 ).
Coconut oil benefits for yeast infections and candida are very well documented and studied. Coconut does have a few potential side effects and disadvantages you should know before you use it:
Coconut oil antifungal properties can kill candida and yeast, but can also cause a healing crises or candida die off detox symptoms when used internally. For this reason, if you have never used coconut oil internally before, start with a 1 teaspoon (5 grams) and test your body’s response. Besides the potential coconut oil detox symptoms, consuming coconut oil on an empty stomach is known to cause diarrhea. This laxative coconut oil bowel movement affect may be beneficial however, to relieve constipation for some people.
On its own, coconut oil is not effective enough to treat a typical systemic candida overgrowth infection, as many other factors need to be considered and addressed during the treatment. Coconut oil does have however, many uses and potential benefits when it is combined as a part of the candida treatment.
Using coconut oil for yeast infection on skin can help in mild cases, but may not be effective enough for skin issues that cause a higher discomfort level. Issues such as itchy skin, candida rash, yeast rash and others typically requires something stronger in order to get a significant relief. Coconut oil on its own may not be enough to ease these unpleasant symptoms. For this reason, coconut oil is usually combined with other more potent ingredients. See the coconut – ozonated olive oil cream section to learn more.
A large percentage of the fats in coconut oil are saturated fats. The link between excessive consumption of dietary saturated fats and coronary heart disease has been well documented and suggested by many studies ( source ). It is debatable however, whether saturated fats from coconut have the same negative effect as the saturated fats from animal sources such as red meat. Most of the studies done on this subject didn’t differentiate between these. Another important factor that was not addressed in these studies was whether the consumption of the saturated fats also coupled with a diet high in carbs, which is a common dietary pattern known to cause many health problems.
On the other hand, some studies suggest that a diet rich in extra virgin coconut oil may improve the good cholesterol (HDL) and reduce the waist circumference ( source ).
We get many questions on this topic. One of the easiest way to know the affect coconut oil has on your health, is to work with your doctor and check the related factors in a standard blood test. Before using coconut oil, and after. Based on our practice, we have not seen any negative impact of coconut oil, as long coconut oil was not used excessively and that it was used as a part of a low-carb diet.
Before you use coconut oil for yeast infection, a few useful tips about coconut oil:
To use coconut oil for yeast infection on skin:
The protocol shown above may be also useful for nails and toenails fungus, with a few simple modifications. To use coconut oil for nails and toenails fungus:
Using coconut oil for male yeast infection may provide some relief, especially when it is combined with the ozonated olive oil. Many men have found this simple natural home remedy to be very effective for penis yeast infections:
Ozonated olive oil is olive oil that had ozone added into it. Ozonated olive oil is considered one of the best natural remedies for yeast infections and candida issues with a solid record of published human studies on its effectiveness and safety against candida ( source ), especially in cases of vaginal yeast infections ( source ), mouth irritation ( source ), oral thrush ( source ) and skin issues ( source ).
The reason Ozonated olive oil works so well for yeast infection is due to the unique combination of the health benefits of both ozone and olive oil:
On its own, ozonated olive oil is very effective and safe for yeast infections and candida issues. Combining it with coconut oil creates a richer cream that has the coconut oil scent and feel many people like, as well as the pleasant coconut oil flavor if you plan to use it for mouth irritation and oral thrush.
To make the coconut – ozonated olive oil cream:
To use the cream for specific yeast infection concerns:
Using coconut oil for vaginal yeast infection is based on the idea that coconut oil antifungal properties may be effective for the yeast infection in the vagina. The evidence however, is quite limited, especially when it comes to human studies on the effectiveness and safety of coconut oil for vaginal yeast infections.
Based on our many years of practice of working with thousands of different cases of vaginal yeast infections, we believe that coconut oil may not be the best solution for vaginal yeast infections. Using coconut oil either as coconut oil suppository, coconut oil tampon or by douching with coconut oil has worked for some cases, but wasn’t strong enough to help in the majority of the cases. In addition, many women that used coconut oil for their vaginal yeast infection experienced increased irritation and burning.
A better option based on our experience that is also backed up by published human studies is ozonated olive oil ( source ), which was shown to be both safe and effective for vaginal yeast infections. See the Ozonated olive oil tampon home remedy for a step by step instructions.
We get many questions on douching with coconut oil and douching in general. Douching is a very popular home remedy for vaginal yeast infection, although based on our practice it may cause many problems. When done excessively, douching can disrupt the the good bacteria in the vagina which may cause the yeast infection to become worse with more irritation and discomforts. Many studies that evaluated the effectiveness and safety of douching for yeast infections concluded that the risks outweigh the benefits. The recommendations of these studies was that douching may be harmful and should not be considered as a common practice ( source ).
If you have vaginal yeast infection, a few things you should know:
Coconut oil pulling is one of the best ways to use coconut oil for oral thrush as well as to maintain a good oral hygiene and health. Coconut oil pulling is a natural remedy that has a very long history of traditional use with its benefits also backed up by science ( source 1 , source 2 ).
Oil pulling comes from Ayurvedic medicine (Ayurveda), one of the world’s oldest medical systems that originated in India more than 3,000 years ago. Oil Pulling (also known oil pull) is an oral therapy that uses oil to promote oral health and oral detoxification.
The idea behind oil pulling is that certain oils have the ability to draw and pull toxins, bacteria and other pathogens from the mouth and saliva, so by swishing it in your mouth for as long as 10-20 minutes, these toxins are attracted and mixed with the oil. When you spit that oil mixture, you are actually cleansing and detoxifying your entire mouth by removing these toxins.
To oil pull with coconut oil for thrush:
Coconut oil pulling is a perfect example of a natural remedy that combines the best of both worlds: natural medicine time proven traditional methods and modern science. Based on the available research data and our practice, we have found coconut oil pulling to be an effective and safe home remedy to maintain good oral hygiene and health. It is also very easy to use and doesn’t require a lot of effort.
The reason coconut oil is a perfect fit and one of the best oils to use for oil pulling is due to coconut antifungal properties as well as its flavor. Coconut oil is one of the better tasting oils to swish in your mouth.
When it comes to using coconut oil for thrush, it is one of the best natural remedies that may provide relief and calm down the mouth irritation and infection, especially when it is combined with the ozonated olive oil. It is important however, to address the root cause behind the oral thrush as in most cases it is not in the mouth but in the gut. See the candida overgrowth causes expert guide to learn more about potential causes of oral thrush or other common yeast infections.
To wrap up, here is a brief summary of potential coconut oil pulling benefits:
Coconut oil naturally solidifies below 75 degrees Fahrenheit (25°C), so it is common and normal for the coconut oil to become solid at room temperature. When using coconut oil for yeast infection and candida issues, it is usually easier to work with the coconut oil when it is in its liquid state, especially if you planning to mix it with other ingredients. To liquefy coconut oil:
Here is a quick summary of the coconut oil for yeast infection reviews we gathered over the years. These reviews are based on cases where coconut oil was used on its own.
Coconut oil can cause yeast infections in the following cases:
With that said, when used properly, coconut oil antifungal properties can be very beneficial for yeast infections and for overall health. See the coconut oil benefits for yeast infection section to learn more.

How to Use Coconut Oil to Kill Yeast Infection (Candida) – The Ultimate Guide was last modified: February 18th, 2019 by Jenny Hills, Nutritionist and Medical Writer
Do you suffer from red itchy skin, thrush, fatigue and low energy or persistent bloating? These are just some of the signs of a yeast infection and you may be interested to know that you can use coconut oil for yeast infection. Read on to find out how to use coconut oil to prevent and treat yeast infections.
Yeast is a type of fungi which lives in our bodies and just as there are ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria, so there are good and bad types of yeast. The scientific name for yeast is Candida and it usually lives in our digestive system.
Usually, a healthy immune system keeps yeast in its place, doing the functions they are supposed to do. However, certain medications and health issues can cause more yeast multiply, especially Candida albicans , resulting in a condition called Candidiasis ( a fungal infection caused by yeasts that belong to the genus Candida) . This can cause great discomfort and, if left untreated, can develop into a life-threatening condition.
Let’s have a look at the symptoms and causes of yeast infection and how to use coconut oil to treat yeast infection.
Yeast is found in very small amounts in our bodies. To keep yeast under control, we need a proper balance of bacteria in our digestive system. However, when something happens in the body to upset the delicate balance of bacteria, yeast can break through the intestine walls and get into the bloodstream.
This can cause fungal infections on the skin, in the mouth, and in the vagina. Vaginal yeast infections are very common in women and they can cause great discomfort. Commonly, it is referred to as thrush.
There are various factors that can cause yeast infections in people. The most common reason is taking medication which can interfere with healthy bacteria in the body. For example, antibiotics usually disrupt the digestive system and because of this yeast infections can spread (and in this regard read my article about the 3 things you should do after taking antibiotics to restore healthy intestinal flora ).
However, birth control pills, stress, alcohol, and/or eating too much sugar in your diet can also bring on yeast infections.
A yeast infection in the mouth (sometimes called oral thrush) will show up as white spots inside the mouth and on the tongue (see the 8 warning signs your tongue may be sending ), and a person will usually experience a sore throat and redness in the mouth.
Usually, the symptoms of vaginal yeast infections are severe itching in the genital area , swollen labia , vaginal discharge , and pain when urinating. There could also be pain when having intimate relationship.
Yeast infection (Candida) has to be treated with antifungal medications and it is also important to make diet and lifestyle changes. It is also necessary to take probiotics so that you build up a number of good bacteria in your body.
Let’s have a look at all the reasons why coconut oil is an excellent treatment for yeast infections and how to use it.
The way to kill off yeast infections, stop it spreading further and to make sure it doesn’t become a life-threatening condition is to administer antifungal treatments. However, the antifungal drugs that are usually prescribed can cause side effects and the yeast can become resistant to them.
There have been many studies carried out into coconut oil for treatment of yeast infection and scientists have found that it contains powerful antifungal properties which can be useful in treating yeast infections, including Candidiasis. What’s more, the fungus doesn’t build up a resistance to the antifungal properties of coconut oil.
When using coconut oil for yeast infection, make sure you use unrefined virgin, preferably organic, coconut oil.
Study #1 – coconut oil for Candida albicans
In 2015, an extensive study was carried out into the effect that coconut oil has specifically on the type of yeast called Candida albicans ( C. albicans ). The study , published in the American Society for Microbiology , examined the amount of Candida albicans in the gastrointestinal tract of mice and how coconut oil affects it. 1
It was found that when coconut oil was introduced to the diet, the amount of C. albicans was significantly reduced.
The study also showed that coconut oil actively reduces C. albicans colonization on the gastrointestinal tract (GI). It was also noted that coconut oil also contains medium-chain fatty acids, which also play a role in reducing C. albicans. They concluded that coconut oil “could
