Belle put this answer up in a forum when someone asked about using tea tree oil as a cure for hemorrhoids.

OUCH Tea Tree oil on hemmoroids it would Burn…We would .Not do it in Australia anyway…maybe ours in more potent but that’s where tea tree oil comes from.. Australia and it’s too harsh for the mucosa around the anus or vagina. It’s a great antiseptic and antifungal for the feet especially and great for the face and pimples and sometimes to inhale for sinus problems but thats how strong it is. I would hate to see someone is agony after putting tea tree oil on the wrong spot.
