If you a diabetic, chances are strong that you also have a Candida infection. This is because in diabetes patients, the blood sugar control mechanism has broken down; creating a sugar rich environment that Candida thrives upon.

It can also manifest itself as Acne, brain fog, cradle cap, diaper rash, eczema, fungal nail infections, heartburn, joint pain, migraines, psoriasis, respiratory problems and sinus congestion.
The Evidence for Cinnamon as a Candida fighter This study discovered that Cinnamon Oil was one of three leading essential oils effective against Candida. Another study was found Cinnamon Oil to be effective against two strains of Candida, C. orthopedics and C. parapsilosis.

Fortunately Candida has not been resistant to Cinnamon Oil, which bodes well for its use as a treatment option.
