Re: Bartholin cyst & essential oils - what worked for me

I got my first bartholin cyst in April. I knew exactly what it was because my sister had one about 2 months before I developed one. Hers was an abscess, however I was lucky and mine never got infected. I knew the pain she went through getting it drained several times and then having surgery so I was willing to try anything. Sitz baths didn't work with Epsom Salts or essential oils. I tried the calomine lotion, tea tree oil, witch hazel combo with no results at all. I took silica and calc fluor and Colloidal Silver ... Nothing. Black salve, prid, mixing coconut oil with essential oils and putting it directly on the cyst... Still nothing. The first thing that got my cyst to go down was chamomile tea with lavender oil, juniper berry and cypress oil and tee tree oil. I filled 1/4 cup of a mug with water heated it for 1 minute then let the tea bag steep for a few minutes after adding in a few drops of each oil. I put the tea bag itself directly on the cyst for 30 minutes. I did the twice and the size went down significantly. Things were looking normal however it still was always there. It stayed small for quite some time and after sex one night it swelled up bigger than it had before. It still didn't hurt but it was uncomfortable based on the size of it. I started doing a little bit of research and started taking supplements in addition to using the tea bag/essential oil method and would still take one bath a night for good measure. Here is what I did:

I took The Supplements listed below twice a day once in the morning once before bed:
1 Gnc women's ultra mega energy and metabolism multi vitamin
1 garden of life primal defense HSO probiotic formula capsule bought on amazon.com
1 800mcg folic acid - spring valley brand from Walmart
1 ultimate probiotic formula acidophilus with 2 billion active cultures bought at SAMs club.
2 super lysine + bought on amazon.com
1 caltrate 600+D plus minerals bought at Walmart

I also started putting brags raw apple cider vinegar - about 2 cups in a shallow bath and stayed in for about 15 minutes once a day or every other day and did the tea bag/essential oils shortly after. After the first few days of this my cyst was the smallest it had ever been. I could even have sex without it inflating to the size of a golf ball. After a week and a half I can no longer feel it. It is such a relief. It always seemed to get better then come back with a vengeance. This time I'm finally hopeful it will stay away!

I hope this helps someone. I tried just about every home remedy you could think of over the past 9 months and this is the combination that finally worked for me. It's a lot of pills to take each day but seemed like a much better option than having anything sharp go near my vajayjay!
