If you're suffering from a vaginal yeast infection, you'll be happy to know relief is at hand. This simple remedy works marvellously. Keep in mind that you should only use the highest quality and potency of essential oils as most are contaminated with harmful ingredients or contain inferior grade oils. I use doTerra essential oils as they are the highest quality and most therapeutic oils of the many dozens of essential oil brands I've tried.
3 drops tea tree oil
1 teaspoon olive oil or sweet almond oil
1 tampon
1. In a small saucer, mix the tea tree oil and olive or sweet almond oil together until combined.
2. Unwrap and roll a tampon into the oil mixture until saturated.
3. Insert into the vagina and leave in place over night. Use any remaining oil over the exterior of the vaginal area.
4. Repeat twice a day (daytime and nighttime) for a week.
