Tea Tree Oil

Now this is amazing stuff! I've found it has more than a few uses.

I know for a fact that this can help cure some fungal infections on skin. These can usually be treated (and in some cases be cured) with 100% Tea Tree Oil applied to the area once a day until the grey is gone.

Sometimes it can come back. It can also help kill off toe nail fungus.

Tea tree oil is also an anti-inflammatory. That means if you have some inflammation or swelling on your body and the skin isn't broken you can apply some TTO to the area and it will help.

Don't eat this, swallow, or inhale this. Also, don't put it on your gums or eyes. It can burn a lot! It's not pleasant, and it's really only meant for topical use.

If you have a cat or dog that has an injury that they keep biting at and you want them to stop, sprinkle some of the TTO on the spot. It will help bring down the inflammation - and the smell is so offensive to them they'll stop putting their face their all together. It has a very strong Eucalyptus type smell.

Try not to use too much, as it can burn if you use 100% strength. Most people recommend diluting it with a carrier oil - maybe vitamin e or Olive oil.

If you use 1 drop TTO and 1 Drop of a carrier oil, you're at 50% strength. Just use that reasoning if you want get to a different concentration of TTO. Or feel free to ask me.

Before you apply this anywhere on your body - take a very very tiny drop, and apply it to one small, tiny patch of skin and wait 5 minutes. If it burns like hell or if you start getting an allergic reaction to it then either dilute it down in the case of burning, or in the case an an allergic reaction stop it all together and take an anti histamine.

This is very strong stuff - it's anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal. You really need to take great care and have great respect for this oil when using it.

Don't take my word for it though - read everything you can on the web, in books, and find out what you can from everyone you know before using this or any other natural remedy (either on this site or from anywhere or anyone)!
