I think that while topical anti-fungals are necessary, ultimately you have to balance the body so that they have less of a niche.

Thanks for the reply! I have actually heard that advice from several people. Since I posted I have started mixing oil of oregano with aloe (in addition to the things in the OP) and it seems to be working well!

That is good to hear! Oregano is so good for so many things. I deal with this on and off; once you get it, it is hard to get clear. You really have to be tenacious. I know when I did a specialized diet it got much better, and then I fell off the wagon. When I get back on my food routine I will try the oregano as well. Best wishes!

I usually don't get these strong feelings, so I don't know if maybe info stored deep in my brain is resurfacing, or what. I don't use Usnea often, and have not used it for this issue... but... maybe?
Here is a link from Susan Weed; see what you think:

It grows profusely here; if you send my your mailing address I will drop some fresh usnea in a mailing envelope and send you some (you can make a tincture, easy). If you are squeamish about strangers sending herbs (as I sometimes am) I can heartily endorse Mountain Rose Herbs as a source. ~ Z

if you want to use it internally, just grind it up to a powder and eat it raw, this is much more effective. a good quality company hopefully knows this and makes the tincture with special equiptment. otherwise i have seen other people just think a normal tincture will work, but they dont know that it isnt effective medicinally because the medicinal parts cant be extracted this way.
Well THAT's new! Comfort me, reliable tiny ad:
