Coconut oil works as an antifungal agent and has been found effective in reducing yeast in the body. Coconut oil helps to physically remove yeast from the mouth through oil pulling, a traditional practice that involves swishing oil in your mouth to remove bacteria, kill remaining yeast, and improve oral hygiene. To try oil pulling, put about a teaspoon of coconut oil in your mouth, then swish it around for up to 20 minutes before spitting out and rinsing thoroughly.
