>DOES ANY ONE KNOW  WHETHER WE CAN USE THIS ON NIPPLE THRUSH?

Meluleuca Oil, also called Tea Tree Oil, is a naturally occurring antiseptic
that is highly toxic if taken internally (Bottles of 100% pure Tea Tree Oil
are marked with a "Poisen" label).   It should not be used by breastfeeding
mothers for nipple thrush because of danger to the baby.

BTW it works great for minor cuts, burns, abrasions, and insect bites and
stings.
