Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is a potent natural antifungal that can help treat yeast infections. It is found in the leaves of Australian tea trees and has been used for decades by indigenous people. It was first used as an antifungal during the 1980s when a study was conducted on vaginal yeast infection in women. Tea tree oil was more effective and preferable over conventional treatments. Tea tree oil can also help prevent and treat staphylococcal infections, athlete’s foot, acne, dandruff, lice, tinea versicolor, and ringworms.
To use it as an effective treatment for yeast infections, apply the tea tree oil topically on your skin or internally into your vagina. Tea tree oil has a strong, minty odor that many people find unpleasant and off-putting. The key to eliminating the smell is diluting it with water or another carrier oil like olive oil or coconut oil.
