The AMAZING Tea Tree Oil!!

I personally LOVE tea tree oil (from Melaleuca alternifolia) because of it's antibacterial properties. It can get rid of a pimple in about a day, and, compared to expensive acne medicines and creams, this is really an inexpensive way to go. A 1 oz bottle will cost on average ten dollars, but it will last you a LONG time.



Tea tree oil has become very common lately. Everyone is starting to learn of it's panacea properties. While tea tree oil is a very good anti-bacterial, it is also a great anti-viral and anti-fungal. Many people use it to treat cold sores, shingles, or chicken pox. It's also been used to treat athletes foot as well as other fungal infection of the skin. Tea tree oil is NOT to be taken internally though - this oil is very toxic. It's probably a good idea to always dilute the amount that you use in water or in whatever product you plan on using. Many people have found that using it to wash your animals kills fleas that may have taken shelter in their pet's fur.

The uses of tea tree oil really are infinite. It's very inexpensive, very easy to use, and very efficient. I often mix a drop of it in with my face wash for added benefits. You can find many products such as face wash, mouthwash, toothpaste, deodorant, cleaning supplies, and other bathroom supplies that contain a small amount tea tree oil in them. Using tea tree oil has saved me from some pretty harsh pimples several times, so I really recommend giving this product a try!
