Tea tree oil during pregnancy?

[scrappin-mama]

Does anyone know if it's safe or where I might find some resources? I have a small patch of psoriasis on my cheek that pops up regularly, and a little tea tree oil mixed with water applied for a few days is the only thing that controls it. It's driving me crazy right now, but I'm not sure if I can use the mixture during pregnancy, and my OB is the last person I want to ask. lol

Thanks!

It's just fine. It is used as a treatment for GBS. I use on bug bites or other skin irritations.

Is this something I can use for yeast infections?
We always have it in the house but I've been hesitant but I cannot deal with the YIs any longer... I know it helps with yeast when I do diaper wash, LOL...not sure if it's the same yeast...

I love TTO.

Thank you!

Michelle, I'm not sure about yeast. I know grapefruit seed extract is good for keeping yeast away. I always put a bit in our wipes.

Yes, Tea Tree is absolutely safe. I have been using it on my PUPPP rash and it's really great for that. I also use it in all my household cleaners (which I make). Go for it!
