Cinnamon Cure For Candida Yeast Infections
If you a diabetic, chances are strong that you also have a Candida infection. This is because in diabetes patients, the blood sugar control mechanism has broken down; creating a sugar rich environment that Candida thrives upon. In fact having Candida is a good predictor of diabetes. And if your Candida yeast infection subsides it might be an indicator that your blood sugar levels might be under control. Types of Candida There are over 70 different types of Candida. The strains that cause the most trouble is C. Albanicans.
What are the symptoms of Candida? Usually the symptoms manifest themselves as a yeast infection in the genital areas ((thrush, Urinary Tract Infections), on the mouth and respiratory areas of the body. Sometimes it manifests itself as red patches on the arm, neck and chest areas. A toenail fungus or Athlete’s foot is another symptomatic indicator. It is most dangerous in the stomach where it will break down the barrier between the stomach lining and blood vessels creating massive stomach pain. It can also manifest itself as Acne, brain fog, cradle cap, diaper rash, eczema, fungal nail infections, heartburn, joint pain, migraines, psoriasis, respiratory problems and sinus congestion.
THE CASE FOR CINNAMON CANDIDA CONTROL
A number of studies show that Cinnamon Oil in one of most effective treatment options for Candida infections.
- This German study discovered that Cinnamon Oil was one of three leading essential oils effective against two strains of Candida, C. orthopsilosis and C. parapsilosis.
- A second study from Brazil found that Ceylon Cinnamon Oil Bark Oil was effective against three strains of Candida, C. orthopsilosis and C. parapsilosis and C. Krusei. The major components of Ceylon Cinnamon bark was Cinnamaldehyde and caryophyllene.
- This study by the Veterans Affairs Medical Center NY, USA discovered that the Bark of Zeylanicum (Ceylon Cinnamon) had an improvement in oral candidiasis
What is particularly impressive is that Cinnamon Oil is effective against anti-biotic resistant Candida which has become a serious problem at hospitals around the world.
All indications are that Candida thrives in a sugar rich environment. Research shows that Cinnamon is fairly effective at controlling your blood sugar levels. Meaning if you can control your sugar levels with the aid of cinnamon, then chances are your Candida issue may also be reduced significantly.
This abstract presents fairly compelling evidence that anti-Candida properties of black tea polyphenols that may find therapeutic applications in future. So drinking a cup of Ceylon Cinnamon Black Tea a day might be an effective Candida fighter. And possibly far more effective than any other remedy.
Why Ceylon Cinnamon for Candida? If you are taking daily doses of Cinnamon as part of your Candida fighting strategy, then switch to Ceylon Cinnamon which has ultra low levels (0.04%) of Coumarin. Regular Cinnamon or Cassia Cinnamon as it is often called has high (5%) levels of Coumarin, a substance known to cause liver damage or complete failure if taken on a daily basis for extended periods of time. Ceylon Cinnamon can be safely taken for extended periods of time. In either case, you should however take a week’s break every six weeks to prevent general toxicity. The recommended dosage of Cinnamon according to the US Department of health, is 6 grams daily for 6 weeks or less.
HOW TO TAKE CINNAMON FOR CANDIDA
Ceylon Cinnamon Black Tea – Taking Cinnamon Oil internally is not an easy task. Fortunately our Ceylon Cinnamon Tea is infused with real Cinnamon Bark Oil. This is real Cinnamon Bark Oil as opposed to flavoring used by many, which has no real cinnamon in it other than the smell of it. However since Candida loves sugar, do not add sugar. Our Ceylon Cinnamon Tea is naturally sweet without any sugar. And milk is a definite no, since milk may dilute the efficacy of Cinnamon. In any case all products including milk could only make your Candida condition worse.
Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Oil - An alternative is to add 1-3 drops of Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Oil to a hot beverage. If you are allergic to caffeine this may be an option. Remember the Bark Oil is hot, spicy and sweet tasting (does not contain sugar). Be careful when you mix it. No more than 1-3 drops per 8oz of liquid if ingestiing. We piut the same oil in our black Tea.
For topical applications (except genital areas and mucous membranes) adding 1% Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Oil to a carrier Oil (Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, or Baby Oil etc) could be an effective treatment option. Be careful how you mix it and keep it away from eyes, genital areas and mouth. Undiluted Cinnamon Oil is extremely hot and spicy.
Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks – Boil one Cinnamon stick, add a teaspoon of lime and drink. Ceylon Cinnamon is naturally sweet and when you add a teaspoon of lime it makes it even sweeter so there is absolutely no need to add sugar.
Ceylon Cinnamon Powder – While the essential oils in Cinnamon powder has about 1/3 (1.1% for ours) volatile oils to that of cinnamon sticks (3.5% for ours), it may yet present a good option if you get tired of drinking Cinnamon Tea or making cinnamon stick tea. Simply adding it into your daily diet might be an idea.
How long will Ceylon Cinnamon take to cure Candida? Anecdotal evidence seems to suggest that you must follow a Candida treatment regimen a month for every year you have had Candida. So if you have had Candida for 2 years, you need 2 months of treatment.
Whether it works for you will depend on to how you approach this. If you just drink Cinnamon Tea without even making an attempt at a Candida diet, obviously it is going to take much longer. Yes, the Candida diet is often extremely restrictive, perhaps too restrictive and can be misleading. Perhaps you can start off with cutting out or dramatically reducing the obvious and easy things that make Candida really bad. Like sweets, especially chocolates. And baked goods full of yeasty bases. Switch to rice from Pasta and cut down on the over consumption of dairy products like Milk, Yoghurt, Cheese. Dairy has no place in your diet anyway. American dairy is pretty bad. Eat fresh vegetables.
The research shows Cinnamon is extremely effective against Candida. All the evidence points to Cinnamon as being more effective than any other Candida treatment options. It’s practical, cost effective and easy to take. Most people like cinnamon. Ceylon Cinnamon tastes very mild, with a slightly sweeter and more complex flavor. Incorporating it into your diet is very easy. Look at the some of the amazing Cinnamon recipes from Sri Lanka. Cinnamon combined with other spices like Turmeric, garlic, ginger, cloves can go a long way towards improving your gut health and hopefully get rid of the dreaded Candida. Try it. You have nothing to lose but a little bit of money. Very little money.
