Tea Tree Essential Oil - 10ml
Botanical Name: Melalauca Alternifolia
Tea Tree Essential Oil is well known for its antiseptic action and its antiviral action. It is also anti-fungal and is useful for treating cuts and bruises. This oil is commonly used in skin washes for treating acne, alternating it with other oils such as Lavender and Bergamot.
Safety data: People with sensitive skins should use less than 3% in dilutions and might benefit from blending the oil with Sweet Almond before adding it to the bathwater.
It can be valuable for treating colds. If used in the bath at the first signs of a cold or flu, one of the effects of Tea Tree is to stimulate profuse sweating, and this has long been regarded in naturopathy and other forms of natural healing as a valuable response to infection. Quite often this is enough to stop a cold or flu developing.
Neat Tea Tree Oil is an effective treatment for cold sores. Dab it on at the first burning sensation that precedes the blisters. The blisters of shingles and chickenpox can be treated in the same way. Veruccae and warts can be eradicated by placing a single drop of neat Tea Tree on the centre every day and covering with a plaster. It may take a while to see any result, but it is effective over a period of time.
It is also very good for the large, inflamed and often painful spots which some women tend to get around the nose and chin in the days preceding menstruation. A single drop of Tea Tree dabbed on each spot reduces the heat and pain and clears the spots up.
It is an effective treatment for fungal infections such as ringworm and athlete's foot.
