After having contracted a fungal infection from the showers at work, it spread to the second layer of the dermis.
After consulting the essential oils reference book I made up an equal blend of Tea Tree, Peppermint and Rosemary, which was quick and effective considering the severity of outbreak.
I absolutely love these oils and highly recommend that you try them for yourself!
