Fat Tuesday and diaper balm.

Fat Tuesday, need I say more? King Cake, festivals, beads, hurricanes. None of which we have indulged in. What great Louisiana residents we are.

Wy and I have been fighting thrush for about 6 months. We ditched all medicine and have taken a completely natural approach. Hello 50billion live culture probiotics, yeast detox, sugar elimination and we are finally seeing progress! Well then Wy got a yeast rash in his diapers. Talk about fun! Stripping, bleaching, grapefruit seed oiling. As part of our toxin free 2013 I made our own diaper balm. It is pretty close to amazing and cleared up his rash faster than anything I've tried.

1/4C coconut oil
1/4C olive oil
2TBSP beeswax (I grated mine)
4 drops melaleuca 2 drops lavender 2 drops lemon.

Put your oils and beeswax in a double boiler over med-low heat and melt.
Drop oils into one 4oz jar and pour in oils. Let it sit, harden and bam! Balm.

I also made an antifungal wipe solution of distilled water, thyme EO, lavender EO and lemon EO. ( I try not to use to much melaleuca oil I can't stand the smell) thyme is a hot oil so use with caution.
This combination is the only one that seems to of really helped.
