Mixing Natural Oils For Treating Candida

By Valerie Bowen


A yeast known as Candida Albicans is responsible for a condition known as thrush. Although this yeast is normally present in the body, when it grows too rapidly an imbalance occurs and a woman can experience very unpleasant symptoms, such as heavy vaginal discharge, inflammation and itching. There are several essential oils for thrush which are thought to be effective when reducing the number of candida albicans in the body. These oils include lavender, tea tree and yoghurt amongst others.

In addition to oils, natural yoghurt can also be used and is often combined with various oils before application. Natural yoghurt should be applied to the vagina and is said to be very soothing and also helps to reduce the inflammation. You should ensure, however, that your hands are thoroughly clean before applying the yoghurt externally, in order to avoid the transference of germs.

Rosemary, lavender and tea tree can be used in combination to treat this condition when they are diluted with vinegar. A couple of drops of each oil should be added to a couple of drops of vinegar which should then be mixed with a cup full of distilled water. Using soaked cotton wool, douse the vagina with the mixture three to four times a day, until the symptoms start to diminish.

Two other oils, patchouli and marjoram, may also be used to treat thrush. In approximately half a cup of water, warmed, add two drops of each oil. Using a douche, fill with the diluted mixture and apply to the vagina. Continue to douche using the solution about three times daily.

Bergamot is also believed to be highly effective for treating thrush due to it's anti fungal and antiseptic properties. A couple of drops of this oil should be mixed with distilled water, preferably warm, and put into a douche. The vagina should be swilled in the solution up to four times per day, or until symptoms begin to diminish.

Men can also be affected by thrush and experience similar unpleasant symptoms. In this instance, patchouli oil and tea tree oil can be used to treat the symptoms. Combine five drops of both patchouli and tea tree oil and add to two cups of distilled water, which has been warmed. Wash the penis thoroughly with the solution three to four times daily, or until the symptoms disappear.

Many sufferers use essential oils for thrush and claim that they are highly effective in treating the condition. There are an abundance of natural products available which are safe to use on the sensitive genital area. Men experiencing the symptoms of this condition can use specially mixed washes to relive the symptoms.
