Is Tea Tree Oil a must in your medicine cabinet?

Great if you are suffering from a virus. Mix with a teaspoon of milk (helps to spread the oil into the water) and pour into a warm bath. Add about five drops.

I first started using tea tree oil in my teens after my step mum recommended it as a natural remedy for acne, love it!

I love tea tree oil and use it for everything from spot fixing on my face to treating athletes foot on my husbands toes. It works as a refreshing hair oil to tame fly aways, as a deoderant if you forget in the morning rush, a quick way to ease the itch of mosquito bites and as a traditional room freshener in an oil burner. My tip is to make sure that pregnant women avoid tea tree oil completely as it can have detrimental effects on the pregnancy.

I've always used it on bites and I remember mum putting it in our shampoo & conditioner to help keep head lice away when us kids were at primary school. It's amazing as a spot treatment for those horrid, unwelcome spots we sometimes get!

I use Teatree oil for instead of antiseptic. It is uses great diluted and used to rinse your hair, and I have used is in the past for Tinea and it works a treat.

I am ashamed to admit that despite all the recommendations, I have never tried Tea tree oil! Judging by the natural healing properties it appears to have, it may be time to put it to the test :-)

I use Tea Tree oil frequently, from keeping nits at bay to a zit remover, to an antiseptic on cuts and grazes.

Oh and then there are the cleaning properties of this oil!

Must go buy all the oils!!

My aunty in Australia introduced me to Tree Tree Oil years and years before it became a run-of-the-mill product freely available. She swore by as an antiseptic for cuts and grazes and as a remedy for mosquito bites. She also added a few drops to a spray bottle of water and used it to keep surfaces disinfected and germ free. She lived well into her 80's so she must have known something long before everyone else....

Tea tree oil is what stopped my little girl's cord going seriously gross (it came off after five days). We dabbed it on when it started going all red and scary looking and it came right. I'll definitely be using it (watered down) when she starts at pre-school/kindy to help avoid nits. Totally recommend it - an amazing product.

In the past I've used it on my pimples on my face, but I found it stung on my skin as I have sensitive skin. I'm very interested in its other uses though and would be keen to use it dental plaque

We always have tea tree oil. I used to use it on pimples when I was younger. Now we use it for cuts and I also add a couple of drops into vinegar for my cleaning solution.

With so many uses it is an absolute must have :)

i love tea tree!!! i love the smell!!! I found it really good on breakouts and always use it on my piercing when their new and to clean my jewelry for them!

I have heard of tea tree oil but I must admit I have never used it and had no idea of its wonderous powers! Let me at it! :)
