FOOD AS MEDICINE NOTE:
Oregano is the most powerful antifungal found in nature when it comes to overcoming candida and yeast overgrowth. Consuming it fresh is an excellent way to deliver a shot of healing to both your gut and immune system. Our pesto also contains garlic as your natural anti-viral and anti-bacterial since we know pathogens live in colonies. The cilantro is present to help your body mobilize the heavy metals that invariably come with candida overgrowth, making this our #1 Candida friendly recipe of all time!
