Tea Tree Oil Recipes

Tea tree oil can be used in a bath to treat yeast infections. Douche or gel application treats vaginal itching.

For treatment of vaginal yeast add 4 to 6 drops of tea tree oil to bath water. Swish water about to disperse the oil. Sit in bath for 5 to 10 minutes twice daily.

• 24 ounces distilled water
• 2 chamomile tea bags
• 6 drops of tea tree oil
• 5 drops of lavender oil
• 1 drop thyme oil

Brew chamomile tea and water in a kettle. Add drops of oil to the water, shake to disperse the oil into the tea. Douche with essential oil and tea mixture twice daily. Note: Yarrow or Calendula can be used as a substitute for the chamomile.

• 6 drops of tea tree oil
• 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel

Add drops of tea tree oil to aloe and mix together. Apply gel directly on the vaginal area to relieve itching. An alternative application would be to coat a tampon with the gel and insert vaginally. Note: Vitamin E or Cocoa butter can be used as a substitute for the aloe gel.
