Cinnamon Oil for Yeast Infections

Cinnamon bark and cinnamon oil for yeast infections have typically been used for poor digestion, diarrhea, menstrual problems, parasites, colic and rheumatic pains.

It has been found to be deadly to drug resistant candida yeast and other fungal infections. The active ingredients are cinnamaldehyde, cinnamon oil vapors and eugenol. Preliminary human evidence confirms this effect in a clinical trial with AIDS patients suffering from oral candida (thrush) infections that improved with topical application of the oil.

Antibacterial actions have also been demonstrated for cinnamon oil concentrates. The diterpenes in the volatile compound have shown anti-allergic activity as well. In addition, water extracts may help reduce ulcers. Test tube studies also show that cinnamon can augment the action of insulin and in Indian studies it was found to help control blood sugar levels.

Cinnamon can be toxic to the liver so I would use it for thrush and for skin yeast only. You might also have to dilute in a little coconut oil because it is hot when used straight. I would test it on a tougher area of skin such as the hand before use.

The capsules are recommended for internal yeast infections and are perfectly safe.
