This article shares the natural way of treating Candida through the use of oregano oil.
Candida albicans is a part of the normal flora found in the body. In the normal state where the yeast cell number is within the normal range, they do not cause any kind of trouble to the human body. However, in cases where the person has been taking antibiotics or due to other diseased states, an overgrowth of Candida albicans occurs. When this occurs, the abnormal growth of yeast is manifested as a diaper rash, vaginal yeast infection and thrush. This should not cause you to worry as they are ways to treat Candida naturally. Here we will look at the use of oregano oil as the antidote to Candida.
But before deciding to self-medicate yourself, make it a point to consult with your physician so that he or she can confirm that you are indeed having a yeast infection or Candida. Oregano oil is not to be confused with the cooking oregano. Oregano oil that is used for medicinal purposes comes from Oregano vulgare. The potent ingredient in the essential oil comes from thymol and carvacrol; both have been proven to carry a strong anti fungal activity which is beneficial in the alternative approach to remedy Candida.
In the treatment of Candida, you are required to dilute the concentrated Oregano essential oil before using it. Dilution can be done using carrier oil such as unrefined coconut oil; by mixing one spoonful of Oregano oil with another spoonful of carrier oil. Only after it is diluted should you ingest the solution. Oral ingestion of diluted Oregano oil should be taken three times daily at the same amount. Topically, the use of the same diluted solution can be applied at areas affected by Candida.
Some side effects like redness and a little tingling sensation is to be expected, but this should not be intolerable. Keep in mind to perform an allergy test using the diluted oil to check whether you are allergic to it. Also, be cautious when applying to sensitive areas as the diluted oil can cause a little burning sensation. You can always dilute the Oregano oil even more until it reaches to a dilution level that is suitable for your body. With regularity, you should be noticing a relief from Candida in no time at all.
