Tea Tree Oil is an Essential Oil and as such difficult to use. It has been banned from some countries (Scandinavian countries among others) because of the dangerous results of improper use.
No essential oil must be used when you are pregnant, around babies and children etc. and cats can die from being exposed to essential oils. I never understand that people think they can use essential oils without precautions. The long term effects are not studied and as they affect hormones and the nervous system they are to be used on the advice of experts only.
There is Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) which has exactly the same properties and is much easier to use as it is not an essential oil. Citrobiotic with 33% og GSE is the best.
I translate here what I had written on a French health forum last year: It's a bit long, but you have the whole treatment, and you can use it without danger.
For vaginal fungus (candidiasis) or bacteria.
Never use pure GSE in the vaginal area. Do not wash with soap, but rinse with water where you have added a few drops of GSE. F. ex. the following vaginal rinse at least once a week as prevention or if you suspect recurrence of the problem.:
- Emergency treatment: 1 to 3 drops of GSE in a glass of warmish water + 5 drops of Echinacea. Place this mixture in a vaginal bulb and inject in the vagina. Keep 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat every 12 hours (i. e. morning and evening) for 3 days and continue the treatment once a day as long as necessary (at least 2 weeks).
- Add 20 to 30 drops of ESP to the last rinse water of your underwear to avoid spreading of bacteria and fungus. Spray clean and dry underwear with ESP in spray form. Important to get rid of all fungus and not recontaminate the vaginal area.
- After treatment, to restore the vaginal flora (very important!) mix natural yoghurt with an equal amount of warmish water and inject in the vagina. Even though it may seem strange, the effectiveness of this treatment has been proved long ago!
- In case of candidiasis, you also need to take ESP internally. A long process which I can translate if you so wish (ask another question). Developed by a French endocrinologist and fool-proof.
AND !!!! Simultaneously, it is imperative that your partner do the following:
- Mix 10 drops of GSE in an egg cup of sesame or olive oil and rub the penis with this. Leave for 10 minutes. Never use pure GSE on the genitals! Continue this treatment during at least 2 weeks.
Same treatment for HIS underwear.
Long process, but it's difficult to get rid of this type of fungus and once you do the treatment, you might as well do it properly and avoid recurrence. You don't want to do this too often, do you?
NB! No antibiotics! They only encourage the proliferation of the candida fungus big time!
Wishing you the best of health!
I would not put it there!
tea tree oil is a topical antiseptic and should not be used internally or on the genitals.
if you have bacterial problems, you should see a dr. it could be hormone related
yes you can use tea tree oil in the vagina, I have and I know doctors that have recommend it. I am not sure about the other purfume you are talking about.
to answer your final question - tea tree oil is not available without a scent. The smell is the tea tree oil - thats how it smells on the tree, the smell is not added to the product in any way, that is the natural smell of the oil.
Quote online medial journal:
Medical use
Candida / thrush
Tea Tree Oil is useful in treating thrush (Candida albicans) with an action comparable to anti-fungal medications. A few drops in warm water can be used in a douche. The Lancet has also reported a patient who recovered from severe thrush after treating herself with a douche with diluted Tea Tree Oil . A few drops in a gargle may also be used for oral thrush. A few drops may be added to baby's normal nappy change lotion for nappy rash.
For the record Doctors in Australia say to dilute it and soak a tampon and treat that way.
If you have a bacterial/odor problem it could be an infection and should be treated with antibiotics.
This is not expert advice, but ..http://www.diagnose-me.com/treat/T415052... This is a link about tea tree oil and infection and tells how to use it.. And I have heard before that raw garlic will heal some problems.. But.. You might not have anyone that wants to get close to you for awhile.... You could maybe maybe read about this on this link http://medherb.com/Therapeutics/Female_-... I have not tried this .. and do not know if it will help... maybe one or the other will.. You can also by some over the counter natural stuff that works pretty good.. I can't remember the name of it... Good luck : ) .. If all else fails call the Dr... if it is a yeast infection .. then they can give you one pill ( that is on the 4 $ list at Wal-mart ) and it works very quick... Sorry for your problem.. hope this helps... : )
I would think it might burn. I wouldn't use it there. See a doctor or use an over the counter cream.
You should buy an unscented version of it, swanson vitamins has one for like 5 dollars or less. Yesterday I was reading about tea tree oil for my skin and I read that you dilute the oil and place a few drops on a tampon to help.

it will irritate it if not diluted,
I use 1 drop tea tree oil, 1 drop lavender oil, with 1 cup warm water, soak a tampon, and then use the remaining water to rinse lips, this will take the itch away from the yeast infection!
Good luck!
