Roni,

>>Most use two drops under the tongue three times a day (it is really strong
so a water chaser is
helpful or it can be put in juice). Two drops in a teaspoon of olive oil and
rubbed on baby's feet can treat them. That same solution can be applied
topically to the nipple.<<

Thanks for posting that. I am a bit unclear about the reason for putting the
oil under the tongue in mom; is it to be used sytemically as well as
topically? Or was the sublingual for oral thrush? Would it be possible to
get a few more details from this midwife as to exactly how she has been
using it?

I would also be interested in hearing from the experts on this list as to
any potential toxicity issues. I'm always on the look-out for
non-pharmaceutical treatments for candida.
