Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. This bacterial infection often shows no symptoms but, left untreated, it can cause side effects as severe as infertility in women.
If it is caught, it can be treated with a short regimen of antibacterial medications.
Symptoms that can appear in a woman suffering from this condition include vaginal discharge that is abnormal; burning during urination, back pain, fever, irregular menstruation or pain during intercourse. There can also be soreness around the vaginal area, related vaginal soreness, inflammation and/or rash. A handy fix is tea tree oil for chlamydia which we’ll discuss below.
Tea tree oil is an essential oil derived from the leaves of a tree that is native to Australia. It is a known antifungal and antiseptic agent. It is used in a wide range of cosmetic and medicinal products. It has shown to have positive results in clearing up vaginal conditions such as yeast infections or thrush. Treatments using tea tree oil for chlamydia will not clear up the disease. But the topical application of the oil to the vaginal area can alleviate some of the soreness, inflammation or rash if any of these presents as a symptom. Vitamin E cream can also be used topically on the vagina to treat these symptoms.
Again, it is important to realize that it is not a curing treatment to use tea tree oil for chlamydia. Chlamydia is a bacterial infection occurring within your body. If you suspect you may have this disease- which can be spread through vaginal, anal or oral intercourse, you should consult with a doctor. If you test positive, you will be prescribed an antibiotic such as azithromycin, doxycycline, or erythromycin. One course of antibiotics will clear up the infection and prevent you from spreading it to your sexual partners. Until you’ve taken the medication’s full dosage, you could still spread the infection. Continue to use protective devices such as condoms and dental dams until you are certain you are healthy (or even longer if you’re not in a monogamous relationship).
Tea tree oil for chlamyida is not a cure but it is still useful to have the essential oil on hand for other uses. It can be used on cuts, burns and scratches to disinfect the area and promote healing. It can be used as a facial toner or mixed in with regular shampoo to create an anti-dandruff version. Tea tree oil can also be used on acne, bug bites, sunburn, boils and even flea control for animals. Before using tea tree oil for the first time for any purpose, do an allergy test by putting a small dab of the oil on a patch of your skin. If there isn’t a negative reaction, you know you’re safe to use the product. Don’t skip the allergy test if there’s even a chance you could be allergic. You don’t need to give yourself more rash and swelling in the vaginal area just because you used an oil you shouldn’t have.
