Question 1

are lavender and tea tree oils useful in treating candidiasis?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal yeast: Neither "lavender or tea tree oils" are effective in treatment of candidiasis. " Monistat 7" or similar "over the counter" medications are effective most of the time, but if the infection persists, see your gyn provider for other treatments.

Question 2

does lavender tea relieve anxiety, or is this a myth/home remedy? if true, how does it relieve anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Smells go quickly: and directly to the brain through the olfactory glands.  Lavender is used for calming and sleeping although I don't know of any research on its effectiveness.  Smelling the aroma of the tea may be helpful.  Peace and good health.

Question 4

can i drink chamomile lavender herbal tea while taking zoloft (sertraline)?

Accepted Answer

Zoloft, (sertraline) No tea: Each agent, Zoloft, (sertraline) chamomile and lavender seek to achieve the same effect - decrease of anxiety and/or encouragement of sleep. Since the effects are diffuse and may cause an opposite effect, it is difficult to predict the specific effect on your body. For this reason, consider taking the pharmaceutical med as prescribed. You may take the tablet with plain, hot water for its soothing effect.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Don't bother.: I see patients all the time who have tried tea tree oil + various other oils; their acne is no better, but they do complain of dryness, itching, stinging, burning, and redness. At least 1 published study showed that tea tree oil can cause abnormal breast growth (gynecomastia) in boys. So don't waste your time & money; let a dermatologist prescribe legitimate acne remedies for you.

Question 8

can jock itch cream help treat trichomycosis pubis?  i have tried shaving and using essential oils like tea tree body wash/lavender extract as aids.

Accepted Answer

No, its bacterial: trichomycosis sounds fungal but is caused by Corynebacterium. You've taken the most important step towards treatment but after just shaving once it usually comes back. Shave for 3 weeks and use Benzoyl peroxide gel or wash which will help clear the infection and prevent recurrence. Antiperspirant helps.  Topical antibiotics clindamycin or erythromycin are very effective, antifungal naftifine works
