Curing Yeast Infections With Tea Tree Oil
A lot of people really trust in the results of using?tea tree oil as a yeast infection cure.?
It is the leaves from the Melaleuca tree that are used to make Tea Tree Oil. The scent of this special oil is very close to the scent of eucalyptus.?
It has been used to treat many different types of conditions and problems, and was first used by the natives of Australia. As a means of treating coughs and colds, the natives inhale the oils that come from crushing the leaves, they also treat sore throats with tea made from the leaves, and they also use it for its antiseptic properties to treat wounds or other skin problems.?
Scientists have discovered that Tea Tree Oil is an antiseptic in part due to the way it causes activity in white blood cells.?
Candida Albicans is the type of yeast that is responsible for most yeast infections. Recent years have seen an emergence of several research studies on Candida Albicans and its response to tea tree oil. The main active component of Tea Tree Oil is terpinen-4-ol, which many believe is the ingredient that adds the anti-fungal properties to the oil. It has shown been shown to display very positive results when tested on Candida Albicans. One study done in Italy revealed that this component has anti-candidal activity powers that are effective on many other strains of Candida. Therefore, tea tree oil has been determined to be a promising cure for yeast infections.?
Did you know that a bacteria known as Lactobacillus?Acidophilus and Candida Albicans are both always present in the vagina? Lactobacilli is what is known as a “good bacteria” because it helps to keep the environment of the vagina acidic. This is how the Lactobacilli helps to keep the yeast under control, because yeast can only thrive in an alkaline environment.?
What is even more interesting is that studies have shown that while Tea Tree Oil kills off the Candida Albicans, the “good bacteria”, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, was able to resist the oil treatment and survive. This means that the Tea Tree Oil killed the bad yeast and not the good bacteria that helps keep you healthy.?
One important thing to note is that Tea Tree Oil should never be ingested and you should be careful not to let it get into your eyes. Tea Tree Oil is an essential oil and it comes in a very concentrated form when you buy it. It is important that you always wash your hands carefully after handling the oil.?
For use, you will need to create a 10% solution of clean water and Tea Tree Oil. It is sufficient to use just 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil to 1 cup of fresh water.?
You should test the solution for reactions on your skin before you apply it. Some people may be allergic to Tea Tree Oil. Make sure to always use that 10% diluted solution and never use the oil in its concentrated form.?
You can even douche with the diluted solution.?
Another application method is to insert a tampon that has been dipped into the solution. Some women find that the solution is irritating. One way to prevent irritation is to apply some natural Vitamin E oil to the inner lining of the vagina or try another also very effective natural type of cure.?
How to Purchase a Quality Tea Tree Oil.
– Be sure that you buy 100 percent pure Tea Tree Oil. The label should read something similar to “Pure Essential Oil” or “100% Pure Essential Oil”.?
* Don’t ever purchase a plastic bottle of Tea Tree Oil as it can dissolve the plastic. Seek oil that is packaged in dark-colored glass vessels.. The reason for this is that oil can be light sensitive, causing it to spoil faster.
* Another name for Tea Tree Oil is Melaleuca Oil.
