Description of Candida:

Candida is a genus of yeast-like fungi, with Candida albicans being the most prevalent species associated with human infections. It is normally present in mucosal surfaces such as the mouth, gut, and genital area without causing issues. However, under certain conditions, such as weakened immunity, antibiotic use, hormonal imbalances, or high sugar levels, Candida can overgrow and cause various infections known as candidiasis.

Types of Candida Infections:

• Oral Candidiasis (Thrush): Characterized by white patches in the mouth, soreness, and difficulty swallowing.
• Vaginal Candidiasis: Symptoms include itching, burning, and abnormal discharge.
• Invasive Candidiasis: A severe infection that can affect the bloodstream, organs, and other tissues, leading to systemic symptoms.
• Skin Candidiasis: Presents as rashes and lesions, particularly in warm, moist areas of the body.

Symptoms of Candida Overgrowth:

• Persistent fatigue and weakness
• Digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and irregular bowel movements
• Recurring yeast infections
• Skin rashes or itching
• Mood swings and cognitive difficulties, often described as brain fog

• Symptom Relief: Oils like peppermint and lavender alleviate inflammation and discomfort associated with Candida infections, easing symptoms and promoting healing.
• Systemic Support: The blend supports immune function and maintains gut health, which helps to prevent recurrence and restore normal microbial balance, addressing Candida overgrowth comprehensively.
