Crystal Medicine: A Look At Candidiasis

Two of the most common of these single celled fungus is oral thrush and in the vagina (vaginitis or yeast infection). Sometimes though, this fungus is difficult to pin point. It can manifest itself as other ailments such as acne, asthma, arthritis, chronic fatigue, rashes, dizziness, headaches, muscle soreness and pain.

Antibiotics are a major factor in Candidiasis. They not only kill the bacteria that cause infection but, the bodies' natural defenses as well. Birth control pills, anti-inflammatory drugs, cortisone, yeast laden foods, diet high in sugar are all major culprits in upsetting
the bodies' natural balance. When candida infects the vagina, it results in vaginitis characterized by large amounts of white cheesy discharge and intense itching and burning. When the infection is in the mouth, it appears as white soars on the tongue, gums and inside of the cheeks. Candida can appear in the form of athlete's foot, jock
itch and diaper rash in babies.

Poor co-ordination, muscle weakness, swollen or painful joints, mood swings, loss of libido, infertility, depression, and unexplained tiredness can all be signs of candida. It can cause digestive and hormonal disturbances. Systemic Candidiasis and Albicans is an
overgrowth of candida throughout the body. In the most severe cases, it can found traveling through the bloodstream and invading every organ in the system.

Crystals helpful for Candidiasis: Green Calcite, Dendritic Chalcedony, Lepidolite, Quartz, Zincite

Hydrotherapy: One alternative to douching is the sitz bath. Fill a shallow tub (just to the hip) with warm water. As the tub fills with water add 2 dropper fulls of gem essence to the bath water. You may consider adding vinegar (1/2 cup) to help rebalance the vaginal pH to
4.5 Now, sit in the water, knees apart, until it gets cool.

The bath will do the cleansing. Consider a cleansing bath with the anti-bacterial effects of Lavender and Tea Tree essential oil. This wonderful blend is for creating a soothing, calm, relaxed feel. This is a very effective anti-fungal, anti-viral combination.

Crystal Tips for Candidiasis

*Dendritic Chalcedony and Zincite work the best for thrush and
candidiasis

*Incorporate them into your bath.

*Create a gem essence with the above stone with quartz. Be cautious when adding calcite or lepidolite to your essence decoction. These are both soft stones and you do not want remnants of these stones in the mother tincture. You can certainly use the double boiler method and place a glass bowl with the stone only (no water) within another
bowl with water. The sun transfers the energy from the stone, into the water in the bowl beneath it. Take 8 drops under the tongue 3-4 times a day.
