Tea Tree Essential Oil

3:07 PM  , , ,  

Tea Tree oil, also known as Melaleuca alternifolia, is one of the newest oils to be added into the Everyday Oil collection. Tea Tree can be found in a wide spectrum of skin care and spa products that can comfort and beautify the appearance of skin.

CAUTION: Pregnant and breast-feeding women should avoid the use of Tea Tree Oil. Undiluted Tea Tree Oil can cause itchiness, irritation, and redness on sensitive skin. Therefore, if you have sensitive skin, it is always safer to dilute the oil in another base oil such as olive oil.

For the Home

  • Dental Health - Melaleuca oil is great to add to homemade toothpaste, or you can add a drop to your toothbrush before brushing (and after to disinfect). 
  • Dandruff or Lice - Studies have shown that shampoos with 5% of Tea Tree Oil can cure dandruff and help get rid of head lice. Mix 1 drop of tea tree oil per 1 oz. of your regular shampoo. Massage the mixture into your scalp and then rinse as usual.

For Wellness

  • Acne - Add a drop to your normal cleansing route, or dab a very small amount on acne breakouts. 
  • Athlete's Foot - Add a drop to your shoes, massage into the feet, or soak in a foot bath of sea salt and 2-3 drops of melaleuca to prevent athlete’s foot. 
  • Bacterial Infections - Use topically, either massaging into the reflex points of the feet, adding several drops to a bath, or cautiously applying over an infected site. 
  • Bronchitis - Add 1-2 drops to a steam tent, or massage the oil over the chest and into the feet to ease symptoms of bronchitis. 
  • Canker Sores - Dab a small amount directly over canker sores, diluting with coconut oil if needed. 
  • Chicken Pox - Diffuse in the air (with a diffuser or a pan of hot water), or massage a mixture of melaleuca and coconut oil gently over the pox (dilute more for younger children). 
  • Germ Killer - Can be used aromatically or added to homemade cleaners to kill germs and help prevent the spread of colds, flus, etc. 
  • Cold Sores - Dab a small amount (diluted or not depending on your sensitivity) over cold sores, or mix with coconut oil and use preventatively. 
  • Skin Inflammation - Any sort of skin inflammation can benefit from this oil being gently massaged into the area. Mix with Lavender and Peppermint for added support. 
  • Ear Ache - Place 1-2 drops on a cotton ball and place over the ear. NEVER place essential oils IN the ear. Also consider alternating Basil essential oil. 
  • Eczema - Dilute 1 drop with a tsp of in coconut oil and apply a small amount over the area. 
  • Flu - Diffuse through the air, add a drop to the pillow, or gently massage into the feet to absorb the properties into the blood stream quickly. 
  • Shingles - Add to a small amount of coconut oil and massage over the body. Massage into the soles of the feet for immune stimulation to prevent future outbreaks.
