80 USES FOR TEA TREE OIL I am a big believer in essential oils. And this was a good purchase. Tea tree oil is probably my favorite oil. It is the most healing substance I have ever found. We use it on everything from cuts and scrapes to acne to fungus to rash to dandruff. I put it in body wash, shampoo, lotion, salves, but most often I use it straight out of the bottle. This large 4 oz. bottle is a big one. And you just can’t beat the price. If I could only buy one essential oil, Tea Tree would be the one!I received this item at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.I am including some uses of tea tree oil provided by my friends at backdoorsurvival.com. Hope they help!Abrasions & Minor Cuts: After cleaning the area well, apply a few drops of the oil directly. If a bandage is needed, allow a few drops of the oil to penetrate a cotton ball, then lay it face down on the wound with a bandage on top.Acne: Add a drop to your normal cleansing routine or dab a very small amount on acne breakouts. You can also add 20 – 40 drops of the oil to your regular face wash.Air Freshener: Keep a supply of cotton balls soaked in tea tree oil packed away in a plastic bag or tin. When confronted with foul smells from cooking, musty orders from dampness or even the medicinal smell in a sick room, take a few out to freshen the air and remove the nasty smell.Allergies: Use topically by massaging into the chest, abdomen or the reflex points of the feet.Arthritis: To help reduce pain associated with the swelling of arthritis, add 20 drops of tea tree oil to 2 ounces of grapeseed or other carrier oil. Massage into affected areas 2-3 times a day.Asthma: Add a few drops of oil to a pan of water and heat on stove. When cool, drape a towel over head and breathe in for a few minutes.Athletes Foot: Clean feet thoroughly, especially between toes. Add oil directly to feet every two weeks, dusting with corn starch after. Or, add 10 drops oil to 1 tbsp of grapeseed or other carrier oil and massage on feet and between toes daily.Baby Care: Keep your diaper pail clean and fresh with a spray of tea tree oil mixed with water.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.Bad Breath: Rinse mouth with 1 ounce water and 1 drop oil. Do not swallow!Bladder Infection: In a shallow bath, add 10 – 15 drops of oil. Sit and wash area carefully.Blisters: Wash area carefully, then apply as for cuts and wounds.Boils: Apply a warm washcloth for a few minutes.
