Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is a wonderful oil that comes from the Australian Melaleuca trees. It's properties provide so much therapeutic benefit that it is one ingredient I would ALWAYS recommend be included in your first aid kit or emergency pack.

Tea tree oil takes care of your skin. It's that simple. It takes CARE of your skin.

• Dandruff? Tea tree oil in your shampoo, or combine with some water for a hair rinse.


• Gingivitis? Mix an ounce of water with 3-4 drops of tea tree oil and swish like mouthwash. Do not swallow, but let it stay in your mouth for 30 seconds or so to kill bacteria that causes mouth difficulties.


• Cuts or scrapes? Use tea tree to cleanse the skin and recover from the accident.


• Toe nail fungus? A single drop applied to the affected areas can kill that fungus and stop it from spreading and reoccuring.


• Insect bites? Tea tree helps pull out the inflammation and bring some relief to itching and swelling.


• Yeast infection? Tea tree takes care of yeast!


• Pets with fleas? Insects aren't fond of tea tree at all! A couple drops on a pets collar can help a lot. You could also put a drop in the pet shampoo when bathing the animal.


• Warts? It takes a few weeks of regular application, but yes,...even warts!


• Insect repellent? Mix a few drops with water, put it in a misting bottle spritz away.
• Acne? Mix some with your facial cleanser, or just mix a drop or two in with water for a facial rinse! Or dab it onto blemishes straight.

Normally you do not swallow tea tree oil. It is harsh on the liver and other parts of the body. It is NOT recommended to swallow at all....unless it specifically is designed for that purpose. Stop in and see us! We have one such brand of tea tree that you can use internally and take care of a lot of difficulties- even parasites!

Notice the variety of ways you can use tea tree: in a humidifier, in creams and lotions, in soaps and shampoos, in plain water, in a bath tub, in a douche, on a pet collar, straight.... With all these uses, it stands to reason why I find it an important addition to any first aid kit!
