Directions for Use

For external use only.
Apply directly to skin problems or add to bath water, laundry and other household cleaning applications. Perfect for Candida patients, use a small amount (about 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon to 1 cup of tepid water) as a douche or to wash the skin, feet or other areas of the body. I have a special antimicrobial and probiotic douche protocol sheet for women who consult me for their thrush issues, it works very well indeed.

Duration of Use

No restriction on duration of use.

Cautions and Contra-Indications

Always read the label. Use only as directed. Discontinue use if sensitivity occurs.

Do not use:

• You are not supposed to use teat tree oil while pregnant or breast-feeding "without medical supervision", although I have seen many women use tea tree oil during all stages with no harm. I would be more concerned if a pregnant or breastfeeding woman too a paracetamol or a glass of wine.
• Internally: this product has been designed for external skin application.
• Near eyes: avoid contact with eyes. Seek medical attention if contact occurs
   

Medicine Interactions

Do not use:

• With other antiseptic treatments due to possible unknown interactions
• With medicated dressings due to possible unknown interactions
  
  

  Why do I recommend Thursday Plantation?

  When put to an independent test supervised by The University of Western Australia, the Department of Microbiology concluded that Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Anti-Fungal gel performed equal to or, for the most part, better than other products tested.
  Products evaluated were Daktarin, DaktaGOLD, Canesten, Canesten Once Daily Bifonazole, Lamisil and Bio-Juven Foot Care Anto-Fungal Gel.
  The results as seen below*, clearly show that Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Anti-Fungal Gel was the most effective product against Candida albicans and second only to Lamisil against Trichophyton rubrum (tinea)

  * Photograph based on relative concentration of 6.25% product on Candida alicans and 3.12% product on Trichophyton rubrum.
