Candida and Essential Oils

What is Candida?
Basically it is an overgrowth of yeast in the intestines. This can spread to other parts of the body and can become a very serious illness. Women are more prone to this than men, but men do get it.

What causes it?
Usually it comes from a diet of over processed food high in refined sugar or overuse of antibiotics.

Symptoms:
Sugar, carbohydrate, or alcohol cravings
Bloating after eating / Flatulence
Fatigue, inability to focus or concentrate, dizziness, memory loss
Vaginal yeast infections, skin disorders, itching

Can be a contributing factor in:
Alcoholism
Anxiety
Asthma
Chronic Pain 
Fibromyalgia 
Irritable Bowel Syndrome 
Menopause 
Symptoms 
Migraines 
Multiple Chemical Sensitivities

How do I prevent or relieve Candida symptoms?
1. Only take antibiotics if you have to. Essentials can help you prevent or treat viruses, bacterial infection, and fungal outbreaks.
2. Eat foods high in complex carbohydrates, protein, eggs, and yogurt.
3. Boost your digestive system, as it is always poor in Candida. Essential oils can be part of repairing and restoring the digestive system.
4. Keeping a healthy colon and intestines is vital. Essential oils ingested or applied in suppositories or enemas can help maintain intestinal health.

Essential Oils that are like antibiotics – fight bacterial infection:

Take in baths or spray showers with one or a combination of these oils weekly especially during flu or infection outbreaks. Wear around neck in an aromatherapy necklace or add to cotton balls that can be smelled during the day to continue protection.

For a douche place a cup of Gritman Structural Bone Support Vinegar add water. Drop Tea Tree with Lavender into the vinegar and water.

Drinking a Cinnamon Spice Tea or a Blend of Herbs with Cinnamon Spice. We do not want you to drink Cinnamon essential oil as it is too hot. The spice is better for this.
