More Tea Tree Oil Feedback
Posted on Sunday, November 15th, 2009 at 6:00 PMI LOVE your site! Thank you for setting it up. Just to share with you my experience of treating my genital herpes outbreaks.
I have genital herpes and not being too keen on taking tablets when I had an outbreak decided to try tea-tree oil as an alternative treatment.
I mix a drop of tea-tree oil with about a 1cm squirt of palmers cocoa butter lotion. I first used the cocoa butter just because it was close at hand when I decided to try using tea-tree on the sore bits as I didn’t want to apply pure tea tree with it being quite potent!
As with your other contributors I found the cooling and tingling sensation an instant relief. Within a couple of days of applying the mixture a few times a day the symptoms disappear completely.
It is not always easy having genital herpes as you can feel that you are some how ‘tainted’ by it. I love your site as it allows ordinary people like me to share their experiences of the condition and that other people are in the same situation and still have fulfilling lives.
As other contributors have said – education is the key – so the more open we all are about discussing herpes and other STDs the more likely we are to lessen their spread.
Thanks again for your great work! ~ X
Hi I have oral herpes will the tea tree work for me. Or is this only for genital herpes?
Tea Tree Oil is more for treating the symptoms of stuff and not necessarily herpes. Of course you can always give it a try but realize that it’s not something that has been clinically proven to treat herpes outbreaks. Good Luck & let us know how it goes for you if you decide to try it.
