Tea Tree

(Melaleuca Alternatfolia)
Antiviral. Antibacterial. Antifungal.

History:
TRUessence Tea Tree oil comes from Australia. It was used by the indigenous Bundjalung people of eastern Australia long before their was scientific evidence to prove it's health benefits.
It was first distilled in the 1920's by Arther Penfold. The demand for this oil declined after the introduction of antibiotics in the 1940's. The interest in Tea Tree was revived in the 1970's when there general renaissance of interest in natural products.

Uses:
It is great at helping the body heal from infections.

Dilute in a carrier oil (I use grape seed Message oil from TRUessence) 50/50 (1 drop of tea tree and 1 drop of message) and place on or near a wound. It will help to get rid of infection as well as keep infection away.

Mix 10 drops in a bottle of shampoo, it will help keep your hair from falling out, but helping the body get rid of any infection that is in the hair.
Mix 10 drops in your kids shampoo and it will keep lice from taking up residence in your kids hair.

For Sore Throat:
The Tea Tree Lick- (this should only be done with with premium grade EO's. A non-premium oils can be toxic when swallowed.) Put a drop of tea tree oil on the back of your hand, lick it off and then swallow. Do this once a minute for 5 minutes - your sore throat should disappear. You can also apply a drop of the oil on skin on the throat area and a drop on the feet. Make sure to drink lots of water and avoid all foods containing sugar.

I use only TRUessence premium grade Essential Oils! Each oil is batch tested (using gas chromatography) and a lot number is placed on each bottle, so I feel confident that I am getting the quality that I am paying for and not a cheap substitute.
