What do you think this man is doing?
If your answer is that he is cleaning the pond, then you'd be only half right.
You see, the pond scum this man is collecting is a health elixir.
Yes, you read that right.
The ‘scum' you're seeing is actually spirulina, the healthiest alga in the world.
These blue-green algae pack generous amounts of vitamins and minerals:
- Protein
- Vitamin B1 (thiamine)
- Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
- Vitamin B3 (niacin)
- Copper
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Potassium
- Manganese
In fact, this precious alga, contains more nutrients per gram than any other plant or food on the planet!
But can it prevent or actually treat fungal infections?
In short, yes.
Spirulina is a powerful antifungal, and scientists are hooked on finding ways to add it in different types of medication and creams.
This blue-green alga can prevent not only yeast infections but also the type of fungal infections that affect your feet and nails, like tinea or onychomycosis.
How to use spirulina against fungal infections?
Go to your closest health store and ask for the purest form of spirulina they have.
Start by consuming 1 gram per day for a week and then increase the dosage up to 3 grams per day.
If you are currently taking medication, I recommend you talk to your doctor before adding anything new to your diet.
Spirulina is quite a strong supplement, and in certain cases, it might interact with your medication.
You can also add spirulina to smoothies and food.
I always add 1 gram of spirulina to my banana, apple, and milk smoothie.
It's very delicious.
Bonus Tip: You can also add a spoon of cinnamon to sweeten your smoothie naturally. Plus, cinnamon also has antifungal properties that will boost the effects of spirulina.
Or, you could also make a paste of spirulina powder, apple cider vinegar, and sodium bicarbonate.
Apply this paste to the infected skin for a few minutes then rinse. Make sure the skin is dry afterward.
Do this for a few weeks, and you'll soon see improvements.
