Tea Tree Oil Information, Uses and Recipes
Botanical Name: Melaleuca alternifolia
Don’t leave home without this powerful essential oil that is a healer and anti-biotic. This oil has few rivals, bolsters morale and resistance. Colds, flu, bronchitis, sinusitis, candida, bacterial and fungal infections and weak immune systems.
As a natural antiseptic, Tea Tree’s anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties make this a very versatile oil. Tea Tree acts as an immune booster for the body in the defense of these threats (bacteria, viruses or fungi). It is one of the few oils that can be used directly on the skin without the aid of a carrier oil. As always, less is more when it comes to Essential Oils; if you are using it directly on the skin, apply only one drop.
Great in first aid kits; Tea Tree Oil can be used for bug bites, acne, boils, athlete’s foot (try when combining with Lemongrass Oil) and herpes blisters. The oil may assist in the reproduction of white blood cells, thereby making it helpful when dealing with colds, influenza, coughs and sore throats. As well, the oil has been said to combat yeast infections (try adding a couple of drops to a warm sitz bath) and candida.
