Beat Vaginitis with Coconut Oil Tampons



I didn't mean to make you squirm.

To all the guys (if any), my apologies ~ it's a "girl's only" blogpost today!  This is a subject I've been wanting to address for awhile now because it's a common bacterial condition with an easy remedy.  All you will need are few EOs, good organic coconut oil and a box of organic tampons {learn more here}.





Most of us will experience vaginitis at one time or another, as annoying as it is.  Briefly, there's usually a discharge, that's commonly grey or white and has an unpleasant odor but, not everyone with bacterial vaginosis will experience this.  Itching of the vulvar or vaginal area is also common.  

How can we find natural...

Bacterial Vaginitis Remedy

4 drops Lavender
4 drops Melaleuca
4 drops Frankincense
{frankincense is optional but always a good idea!}
1 tablespoon organic Coconut Oil


Blend the ingredients together and smear all over tampon.  Insert the magic bullet (feels amazing!) right before bed and remove in the morning.  Relief is pretty swift, you should feel better by the morning but, you'll want to keep this routine up for at least a week. FYI:  For an ahhhh moment ~ refrigerate the coconut oil tampons!



I found these online: hand crafted, rolled tampons...interesting!  

I know, I have the same questions you do ~ disposable?

Here's a free pattern {CLICK}



Daytime Tips!
________________________________________

Keep a very small jar of coconut oil with the EO blend mixed in. Whenever you get uncomfortable, apply topically.  You can insert another coconut oil tampon during the day if you like too.

Important to note:  Toddlers to young girls are safe to use this blend topically for bacterial vaginitis.  Reduce the Lavender and Melaleuca by half.


Don't forget to drink lots of water with a dash of Lemon EO throughout the day!

Dear Rebecca,
thank you so much for your blog and all your information!! I just started using EO's and I was wondering what your thoughts were on Tart warmers for diffusing and also if you had ever heard or used "lapel dots" for putting some eo on your clothes? thanks again!!!

Where can you buy the tampons? I have Strep there and was told it will never go away this might be my relief if nothing else. Thank you so much for sharing this information!

do you apply it on the plastic applicator or the actual tampon its self?

R, here's the site for the crocheted tampons: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=178151.0
The author says that if you use hemp, they will decompose better, BUT, they are meant to be washed and reused. She recommends finding instructions for washing cloth diapers or cloth reusable sanitary napkins.

Sarah, on the tampon itself. I suggest buying the tampons without a plastic applicator for this purpose...like the photos above :)

Have you tried this remedy before? I honestly feel that is not an area I would want to put TTO in. I've inhaled TTO steam for a cold and it burned my nose to high heck, wouldn't it be sort of the same thing?

Also, a 4 percent dilution is extremely strong for an area with such thin tissue, meaning it can get directly in your blood stream.

I am not here to troll, I am learning about essential oils more each day and in that education, I'm learning how powerful they are. 16 drops of essential oil just seems like far too much, especially for one single application.

Correction - 12 drops

Allison, you have your school of thought and I have mine. EOs are powerful yes, but their biochemistry is similar to ours...the body readily takes them in, utilizes them and they're gone, This is why EOs are generally applied more often than taking prescription medications...because of how quickly they're absorbed and used.

TTO?

I recommended a total of 12 drops - 4 of them being optional.

I think it's great that you're learning more about EO use...have you thought about starting your own blog?

I wondered about TTO, too. I'm guessing it's short for tea tree oil or melaleuca.

Allison, I wouldn't think that mixture it too strong. I have used melaleuca neat 'down there' for acne pimples/sm boils to heal them before they take off. I had no problems.

Do you use the whole mixture for just one tampon application?

 
At August 20, 2013 at 12:16 AM , Blogger Rebecca said...

Yes, the whole recipe :)

Great post! Is there a EO that could help or heal Vulvar lichen sclerosus?

*I didn't mean to delete this* THANK YOU! I have incredibly sensitive skin, which gets irritated easily and makes me prone to infections. I didn't have Frankincense so I just used Melaluca and Lavender and it worked wonders! I used it externally only and it made the itching and sensitivity go away. This blog post came at the best time, as about a month ago I was trying to find natural cream recipes and found nothing.

I just went through this and trust me, the EO and coconut oil are not too much for "down there" and there are several postings to find that have similar recipes for a coconut oil tampon. Wonderful relief!!

I found some "natracare" organic cotton tampons at the "Good Earth" health store today, much less expensive than shipping from Amazon or Ebay, or any of the sources I looked up for these the day I read this post!

Do you really need the tampon pr could you just insert a ball of this at night time. The vagina is self cleansing so would cleanse the oil out with time.

Because I don't have tampons around the house anymore I have used a chilled teaspoon of coconut oil and dripped the EOs on it before insertion - such nice relief!

Is Melaleuca Quinquenervia Essential Oil the same as Melaleuca? I'm looking for it on the young living website. i'm new to all the essential oil products and trying to learn as much as possible since i've become obsessed with them!

No, the Melaleuca she is talking about is Melaleuca alternifolia which is tea tree oil. Melaleuca quinquenervia is Niouli. Young Living sells is under Tea Tree oil.

Does it have to be unrefined or is organic okay?
