Tea Tree Oil for Genital Herpes

It definitely works but apply it as early as possible, then there is a chance the blisters will be avoided at all.. When you are late and the blisters are already there, try to rub the oil as deep as possible, even try some slight scratching, so oil enters deeper - I let it burn a bit down, then you get the best results..

Tea Tree Oil is the only thing that has worked for me. As soon as I feel any tingle or pain or itch I put some on a cotton pad and apply it to the area for about an hour.Then for the next 24 hours I apply it after using the restroom. If I catch it as soon as I feel anything I can abort the outbreak. If I dont get it till the blisters are already forming it usually cuts the outbreak down to 24 hours or less. I also have found taking lysin and ST. Johns wort 3x a day has really boosted my immunity and provided less breakouts. View Entire Thread

I can totally back this up. Tea tree oil is great for herpes, wherever it may be. Apply it as soon as you feel an outbreak coming. View Entire Thread

Tea tree oil really helps me to prevent herpes outbreaks. When i feel the infected area starting to become itchy, which is a symptom for me that i'll be having an outbreak, i apply tea tree oil 2 to 3 times during the day. This prevents any sores from appearing.
