A Fungus Among Us
Fungal infections like ringworm and candida spread throughout the body quickly, and are easily passed on to others as well. Several oils seem to be effective in treating them, the most powerful being basil (especially holy basil), bergamot, cinnamon, clove bud, garlic, geranium, lemon eucalyptus, lemongrass, oregano, peppermint, tea tree and thyme. Other effective oils are: black pepper, caraway, coriander, cumin, lavender, lemon, melissa (lemon balm), marjoram, myrrh and sandalwood.
To treat skin and nail infections caused by fungus, try a remedy containing powder or vinegar, which are drying and can inhibit fungus growth. A foot or hand bath containing a few drops of essential oils can also be effective, and thrush can be treated by swabbing the inside of the mouth with essential oils mixed into vegetable oil.
Enhancing Immunity
The body’s immune system is its most powerful weapon, protecting against intruders like infections and viruses. A compromised immune system leaves you more vulnerable to illnesses ranging from colds to lupus to cancer. With the help of essential oils, you can strengthen your immune system so your body is better able to fight off disease.
For overall strengthening of the immune system, try bay laurel, cinnamon, eucalyptus, frankincense, oregano and sage. To enhance the functioning of white blood cells, which are responsible for fighting infection and protecting against foreign substances, try bergamot, chamomile, lavender, lemon, myrrh, pine, sandalwood, tea tree, thyme and vetivert. To promote healing, turn to carrotseed, frankincense, helichrysum, lavender, rose, rose geranium and sandalwood. These oils encourage new cell growth and repair skin damage, and because they help cells regenerate, they can improve the skin’s overall appearance. Lymphatic massages are an effective way to use essential oils for immunity, because they encourage the flow of lymph and can help strengthen immune responses.
Using aromatherapy for physical and mental well-being has several advantages over conventional treatments. It is more pleasant, has fewer side effects and in many cases targets illness more specifically than prescription medication. Care should be taken with any course of treatment, however, and aromatherapy may not be appropriate for all conditions. Severe illness often requires conventional treatment, but for everyday ailments, aromatherapy is sometimes easier and more effective.
