This story, which happened centuries ago, tells the story of Maya, the wife of a young tribal chief. While working in the forest, Maya contracted a candida infection due to long-term exposure to the humid environment. Her condition gradually worsened, and her skin became red and swollen, her stomach and intestines were upset, and she felt exhausted. Despite repeated attempts by the tribe's witch doctors and herbalists, Maya's symptoms did not improve.
Until Esser, the oldest herbalist in the tribe, came up with a solution. Esser was a wise old man who had traveled all over the world. He knew the healing power of countless plants in nature. He led the young people of the tribe to find a special plant, Oregon grape root, and used it to treat Maya's condition. By soaking the root in water and applying it externally, Maya's condition began to improve within a few days. Her skin gradually recovered, her stomach and intestines disappeared, and her physical strength was restored. Maya was rejuvenated, and the whole tribe was surprised and grateful for the magical effects of this plant.
This story has been passed down among the tribe for hundreds of years, and to this day, Oregon grape root is still widely used to treat fungal infections, especially candidiasis.
