Abstract
The yeast Candida can cause infections in people; the most common is Candida albicans. Candida normally lives on the skin and inside the body, in places such as the mouth, throat, gut, and vagina, without causing any problems. But it has the ability to morph from a non-pathogenic yeast into a pathogenic fungus under unfavorable conditions or reduced immunity of people. Wheatgrass juice is a powerful substance that is said to help detox the body. It’s rich in phytochemicals that can be used to help detoxify and combat disease naturally. The present study was hence carried out to assess the role of wheat grass juice on C.albicans so as to use it as an alternative medicine. Antifungal Activity of wheat grass juice against C.albicans was tested using agar well diffusion method. After forty-eight hours of incubation period, the growth of C.albicans was found to be directly proportional to the graded concentration of wheat grass juice. The studies enlights positive utilization of wheatgrass juice for management of candida infections.
