Allicin which is composed of garlic helps you to destroy the molds, which can be in varying forms. Also, this element cleans your blood and it is boosting your immune system. You should eat one or two raw garlic cloves per day. If you are not feeling good when you are eating raw garlic, or you cannot eat raw garlic, then you should take non–odorous capsules of garlic. You should consume these types of capsules 3 times per day. This is one of the best home remedies you have taken if you are suffering from blastomycosis.

Eucalyptus

This is also a very effective home remedy for blastomycosis. This herb has antiseptic properties and antibacterial properties, which make it the perfect natural remedy for this condition [5].

The fungus which is the cause of this disease is destroyed when you are consuming eucalyptus. Also, your respiratory infection is healing faster. You should dilute 0.2 milliliters of eucalyptus in water. You should be sure that you will not take a dose that is above this dose.

Also another effective way to treat this condition is to add a few drops of this oil in a vaporizer. This home remedy you should use as an inhalant, which will soothe the respiratory system and will improve your blastomycosis condition.
