Hi Nancy, No, I do not think Tee Tree Oil is safe to use for a yeast infection. Tee Tree Oil is used for antispetic purposes, as well as antifungal, but it is very strong. I can certainly see how it would cause irritation!!! Please, if you have a yeast infection get some over the counter cream or go to your doctor for some diflucan.

Take care, Maggie
