Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Wow, has anyone tried Dr.Kolb's 1% tea tree oil douche recipe yet? I just did it. I had figured out the correct amounts of each were 6 and 1/4 cups water to 1/2 ounce of tea tree oil for a 1% solution. Well, since my douche bag only held 2 cups, I had to bring that down to just under 1/4 ounce of tea tree oil. I used a jigger that measured fractions of ounces and that worked good. The mixture did not burn while I did it, but about a minute afterwards, I got this very cooling feeling, kinda like mint would do in your mouth. It is still here 15 minutes later. I am feeling some itching, too. I was starting to feel some irritation recently, so I thought this would be a good time to try this out. I got my tea tree oil at Trader Joe's for $5.99 for a 1 ounce bottle, and I will probably get 5 douches out of it, so the cost per douche is just over $1.00. Not bad, probably the same as what you would pay in the store for a mixed solution, and definitely cheaper than the stuff premixed that I found on the web. I'll let you know how things turn out.
