The initial phase of Yeast Infection starts mostly with digestive problems like gas, Flatulence and Bloating. These symptoms occur during the stage of conversion of the yeast into the fungal form. If it is not checked at this point, it creates fissures in the walls of the intestines to permeate and spread thorough out the body.

Candida symptoms can potentially change from superficial infections to chronic skin infections like Psoriasis and ultimately become systemic and affect the entire body including the brain.

Pregnancy is one of the major causes behind pain in the lower back in women, which is similar to Sciatica. Sciatica is primarily caused by the compression of the Sciatic Nerve due to any one or more reasons behind the compression.

Typically, Sciatica is the compression of the Sciatic Nerve roots in the lower spine. A condition known as pseudo Sciatica causes similar debilitating pain when the peripheral sections of the Sciatic Nerve are compressed.

* 6 drops Lemon oil
* 5 drops Geranium oil
* 2 drops Clary Sage oil
* 1 drop Angelica oil
* 1 drop Jasmine oil
* 2 ounces vegetable oil or body lotion

Combine the ingredients. Use at least once a day as a massage oil, in a lotion, or in a bath (add 2 teaspoons to the bathwater). If this formula is too oily for you, add the same essential oils to 2 ounces of a commercial body lotion instead. The best type to use is an unscented, basic lotion that contains ingredients that are as natural as possible.
