RE: Starting Out In Natural Medicine: Part 3- Stocking Your Holistic Medicine Cabinet
Great post! I love the citrus essentials oils as well - Peppermint and Lime is a beautiful combination for a morning pick me up. And I love Grapefruit as well. That sounds like a great cleaning combo.
Thank You! Oh, I love peppermint and lime together, it's such a bright and happy combo!! I once made the mistake of drinking grapefruit essential oil in a glass of water, I had read that it was supposed to be even better for you than eating grapefruit...long story short, my throat burned for three days afterwards!!! Lesson learned the hard way, lol! Now it's strictly for cleaning and I occasionally diffuse it when we are dragging in the morning!
I've never tried grapefruit oil in water, and definitely won't now! Grapefruit seed extract is supposed to be very good for candida. But apparently tastes exceedingly nasty.
I can imagine it's probably rather bitter. Have you heard of Pau D'arco tea? That is what I have always suggested for candida. It looks a little odd because it's a bark from the tree, but it doesn't taste too bad and it does seem to make a difference.
Yes, we actually have some, and have been having it, though more as an immune booster.
