Welcome to another week of Organica J’s Top Ten Uses! This week will be focusing on 10 helpful uses for Tea Tree essential oil (also known as melaleuca alternifolia).
Although we don’t use tea tree as an ingredient in any of our organic skincare products, it has so many uses in aromatherapy and is definitely worth having in your essential oil collection.
For using essential oils for specific medical problems always contact a qualified aromatherapist or consult with your GP
Here’s our Top Uses:
1. helpful for coughs, colds or flu
2. good for cold sores, warts & verrucae
3. can help with thrush & cystitis
4. can help clear the air from viruses when diffused.
5. useful for skin with acne
6. may help with athlete’s foot
7. can ease insect bites
9. can act as an immunostimulant
10. may be useful against dandruff
Unlike most other essential oils, tea tree can be used in 1 or 2 DROPS neat on its own, but other oils need to be diluted in carrier oils before use on the skin/in the bath.
