Tea Tree Oil

So, I recently tried the advice of Lulu on here to treat the trich with tea tree oil and diluting it in a douche. Oh lord am I in pain. It is burning horribly... Is this normal?

The best thing I would recommend is getting some plain yogurt or kefir and applying it there, and leaving it for sometime for the burning sensation to lessen.
Plus the probiotics of the yogurt or kefir and good for you to absorb.
Good luck, T

Hi, I don't know if I am replying to the same thing or not. But I want to reply to the side effects or maybe someone can help me. The lady said she tried someone advice of using tea tree oil with a douce and she started to burn horribly. Well I tried using a syringe and I experienced the same thing. Well it wasn't burning that bad but it started to itch incredibly! Then my vagina has this hanging feeling like its pushing outward or something. I was doing this to treat Trich. I know I have trich bc I been diagnosed many times but the medicine they give me doesn't work. Hearing from so many people how tea tree oil works, I was desperate enough to try it. If this continues I don't think I'll try it again. I'm thinking maybe I pushed the syringe in too far or maybe I used too much and I did dialated it with water. Can someone help please??

★★★★☆
trichonomoniasis
In mid-march (five weeks ago) I started having an off-feeling in my vagina, along with burning while urinating, and a smell. Assuming that this was BV, but also having some D-Mannose on hand for UTIs, I took the D-Mannose, and used probiotics, garlic, and hydrogen peroxide treatments. However, while it improved, it stuck around and got worse everytime I had sex with my boyfriend. Thinking it was an offsetting of my pH, I continued to work with the hydrogen peroxide, and occasionally stuck some virgin organic coconut oil up into the vaginal tract when it was really irritating.
Finally, last night I considered that I've continued to have symptoms of off-ness for over a month even though the smell is gone. I figured that since the symptoms don't match a yeast infection, and seems to line more up with bv but isn't responding-- then it must be trichomoniasis. I read on here to try tea tree oil with a carrier oil or water and shoot it into the vaginal tract.
Well this morning I had sex again, and by this evening I was feeling more off again with a slight itch/ache/burning about an inch up my vaginal tract and a feeling like my vaginal and urethra muscles were locked into a pushing position to push something out. That's another of my symptoms, that even when I'm focusing on other things, my vagina is stressed out and while it's not physically debilitating, it is very draining to feel something off and not be able to get rid of it.
So this evening I went and picked up an ounce of pharmaceutical grade tea tree oil for $10 at CVS, and got a 10cc needle-less syringe. I pulled up 3 cc's of tea tree oil, and heated up some coconut oil on the stove-top and filled the remainder of the syringe, about 7 cc's worth. I mixed it up in the syringe so that the tea tree oil would not irritate my vaginal tract, sat back on the couch with a towel and pillow propped up under my hips, and emptied the syringe into my vaginal tract. I stayed this way for ten minutes before I had to get up and go get my dinner, so I evacuated my vaginal tract by pushing down and emptying the oil into the toilet. I immediately felt a very cooling sensation from the tea tree oil, and minutes later I also felt as if the inside of my vagina was more moisturized--which is a strange thing to describe. It didn't feel as if it was lubricated, it felt as if the coconut oil was actually being soaked into my sensitive parts down there.
A few hours later on, my vagina feels pretty normal, and that's been an unusual feeling to have for any period of time--though I have felt it a few times in the past few months. I'm hoping to treat my boyfriend, and also hope to use the tea tree oil/coconut oil mixture one more time in a few days.
I just have to hold off and not do it several days in a row as much as I'm tempted to, unless I feel irritated down there, rather than trying to pre-treat it.
I hope this works long-term, and if it does, thank you original poster of the tea-tree oil idea.

Tea Tree Oil for Trich: OMG! Please do not EVER use tea tree oil topically without first diluting it! You can burn your skin. Please use one of these methods for dilution instead:
Add 1 ounce pure tea tree oil to 2 ounces vegetable glycerin. Shake Well. Add 1 ounce water. Shake well again.
OR
Add 2 Tbs of tea tree oil to 2 Tbs of water SHAKE WELL & apply immediately.

Tea tree oil doesn't need to be diluted. It is great for any skin ailment and full strength is best, if you want quick relief. Tea tree oil is the only thing that will cure athlete's foot problems. Put it on at night with socks on top, and in just a week or two one will notice improvement. It will take a few months treatment to completely kill the fungus.

My boyfriend would rub approx. a tablespoon of the tea tree oil on his penis in the morning and again at night before he went to sleep. He did mention that it did hurt but it stung a little, but only for the first two days. He used it for 7 days.

I have been suffering with this for a very long time also. Every time I get cured, but when I have sex with wife she gives it back to me. I follow the treatment the admin recommended. It's harder to cure it in women and you have to follow different things.

I don't know whether or not you have looked into this, but there is another vaginal infection that plagues many women. It is called Trichomoniasis, or Trich for short. It is more prevelant than Bacterial Vaginosis. And much more dangerous. Can you include that in your remedies? Maybe someone out there has a remedy for it. It is another infection that doctors prescribe Flagyl for and the infection usually comes right back.

I have not tried this herbal remedy yet (due to lack of $, even though its not that expensive) but searched herbs articles for vaginal odors and discharges to find that poor diet leads to excessive acidosis in the body which produces protective mucous. Trichomoniasis, std's, vaginosis, and viruses can be cured with herbal help!

my wife contracted BV 3 times in one year, since I am a diabetic I thought it was jock itch which is the male version of bv which was the problem. I went to the doctor and got treated and so did she and it still came back to her. The drugs her ob gyn prescribed were flagyl, metrodinazole, and clindamycin and they worked for a short period of time only. Even when using condems she still got her symptons back. Turns out we both might have an std called Trichomoniasis or trich a very common std which can be contracted very easily. do your reserch on this and do not be embarresed to see your obgyn or uroligist and explain she has now been given Tinidazole lets see how this works, you need to be stern with your docter and try to get a two step treatment if possible. hope this helps.

Thanks for that website Tommy from North York,
http://microscopiccreatures.lefora.com/: When you suggest a treatment for Trichomoniasis, like Tinidazole, is it ok to use generic tinidazole, ? that's the first question, and secondly, the online information states for treatment, oral Tinidazole, 2g as a single dose, would you have any idea if one hit will do the job, or if a person has this affliction for a long time, would it be better to say take the 2 g's a day for 5 days, to ensure success?
