() Normally, the polymorphic fungi Candida albicans is not harmful to the body unless certain conditions cause it to become virulent. Researchers from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, Arizona State University, and Enerpathic Technologies discovered that different botanical tinctures and essential oils prevent C. albicans from progressing into its more virulent forms.

Essential oils and botanical tinctures are plant-based remedies that are often interchanged with each other. The main difference between these two lies in the process through which they are produced. Production of essential oils involves a distillation process that separates the oil from the plants. Meanwhile, tinctures are prepared by submerging the plants in alcohol for some time and then removing them. Basically, tinctures are like tea but instead of water, alcohol is used. Although they are different, both essential oils and botanical tinctures have been used against fungal infections.

In its virulent form, C. albicans can infect the mucosal membranes and squamous epithelia of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the skin. Additionally, C. albicans can also cause blood infections known as candidaemia. This can spread to different organs, causing Candida peritonitis. The mortality rate for these blood infections is estimated to be at 50 percent, which is very troubling.

As previously mentioned, C. albicans is not normally harmful. In fact, it’s a commensal organism typically found in human flora. However, the presence of serum, environmental temperature, and pH levels can cause it to transition into it virulent forms. In its non-virulent form, C. albicans is just a single-celled yeast. It only becomes virulent and invasive in its multicellular forms, which includes round budding spores, filamentous pseudohyphae, and hyphae.

In this study, which was published in Herbal Medicine: Open Access, the researchers looked at the effects of different ethanol-based tinctures and essential oils on the in vitro growth and differentiation of C. albicans.

Results of the study show that tinctures work against C. albicans by preventing them from progressing into their hyphae form. Sources for these tinctures include Marsdenia condurango, black walnut (Juglans nigra), yerba mansa (Anemopsis californica), and cubeb berry (Piper cubeba). Meanwhile, essential oils can target both growth and differentiation of C. albicans. They observed that the following essential oils were most effective in treating C. albicans: thyme (Thymus vulgaris), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), and lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus).

Overall, these results show that C. albicans infection can be treated by targeting the fungus’ growth and differentiation. In addition to this, essential oils and botanical tinctures can have different bioactive compounds even if they come from the same source, which can lead to different activities against C. albicans. These prove that botanical tinctures and essential oils are effective natural treatments against fungal infections. (Related: How to treat fungal and yeast infections naturally.)

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong.
