10 USES FOR TEA TREE OIL
Essential oils have become a part of my every day life. I use them for everything and everyone in my house. As soon as someone comes down with any ailment I go to my trusty oils to see what I can use to help them. My family is so used to it now the first thing they ask is if I have anything that can help them.I have noticed that one of my go to oils has been Tea Tree Oil or Melaleuca which has been around for a long time but it hasn't been until recently that people have realized its fullest potential.

I want to share with you 10 uses for Tea Tree Oil that I use all the time:
1. 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.
2. Bronchitis: Add 1-2 drops to a pan of hot water and breath in the steam, or massage the oil over the chest.
3. Coughs: Use as directed for bronchial infections. For a vaporizer, add 10 drops to steamer and leave on 5 – 10 minutes.
4. Dandruff: Add 15 – 25 drops oil to any shampoo. Apply a few drops to scalp and massage after washing.
5. Gout: Add 10 drops of oil to 2 tbsp of carrier oil; massage into affected area 2-3 times a day.
6. Household Cleaning: Can be used aromatically or added to homemade cleaners to kill germs and prevent the spread of colds and flus. You can make a general tea tree cleaner by combining 15 drops tea tree oil with 2 cups of water in a spray bottle. I use this to clean my toilets all the time... I spray it in the toilet and add some baking soda and it leaves my toilet sparkling!
7. Laundry Helper: Add 10 drops to your load of towels to help prevent that musty smell.
8. Psoriasis: Add 10 drops oil to 1 tbsp carrier oil and massage into affected areas. Repeat 2-3 times daily to affected area.
9.Sore Throat: Add 2 drops of oil to 1 cup of warm water with pinch of sea salt, gargle 2-3 times a day. Do not swallow!
10. Toothbrush Cleaner: Apply oil directly to toothbrush 1-2 times a week to kill bacteria. Remember to rinse the brush really well before using.
