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??
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?
Hi there. I am greatly interested in a natural cure to Trich do to E.R. visits to the hospital from an allergic reactions to Metronitazole. I'm deathly allergic to it after 4 tablets. I have to find a solution to this problem.
I have tried silver solution mixed with pure aloe vera gel and a strong dose of tee tree oil mixed together and used a needleless syringe to half way and insert vaginally. I wear a pad and let it absorb through the night. After 3 months I went back to my gyno and she said it was much smaller and fewer were seen under the microscope.
So I have to continue with this exhausting remedy :( I also eat yogurt and silver solution 3x daily. Silver solution has a 4 hour kill time and does not kill the good bacteria.
P. S. I also put the tee tree oil in my lubricant and I think it helps some for my partner too.
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.
I was diagnosed with trichomoniasis back in december of 2008, and was extremely fraustrated when was diagnosed with it again earlier this year. my gyn prescribed flagyl the first time, which temperarily cured it, but when he prescribed it the second time i decided to look for a natural remedy because i was afraid that my body would have built an immunity to the flagyl. i reserched and found that tree tea oil was proven to remedy trich. i purchased a twin pack of feminine douche and i filled 1/4 of the bottle with the tree oil and the rest of the bottle with water. i did the douche once and then i waited 5 days and did it again. i waited a week and then i went to my gyn to see if it had worked. my test came back clear, and i asked my bf to use some and i have not had an issue since.
