For systemic fungal infections gentian preparations from the plant Radix gentianae Longdancao are taken orally in the form of lozenges, tablets, capsules or in solution form for gargling or swallowing. The novel gentian preparations also can be applied topically for cutaneous yeast infections and are administered in the form of suppositories, lozenges and creams to treat mucosal yeast infections. The gentian oral preparations of the invention are capable of passing through the blood brain barrier as demonstrated by the cure of meningitis caused by cryptococcus in AIDS patients.
