Tea Tree Oil

to the affected area morning and evening. If irritation occurs or there is no improvement after a couple of days, see your doctor.
Sinus congestion: Dab a few drops of the oil directly under the nostrils and onto sinus area.
Warts: Apply the oil directly to the wart morning and evening.
Joint and muscle aches: For pain relief, massage a few drops of the oil into the sore area.
Hair care: If you have chemically treated hair (perm or color), I would not recommend adding tea tree oil to your shampoo. It WILL strip the color/perm from your hair in a matter of a couple of weeks or so, depending on how often you shampoo and what the oil/shampoo ratio is. However, if you don't like the look, this will get rid of it quicker! It will also get rid of dandruff.

Additional Uses

---

Animal Care
To help control fleas and ticks, add tea tree oil to your pet's shampoo in a 2:9 ratio. This will also add a luster to your pet's coat.
Mosquito Repellent
To keep pesky mosquitoes (and other bugs) out of your house in summer, try using tea tree oil in a diffuser or a spray bottle of water (4 qt. of water and 10 drops of tea tree oil). If the medicinal smell of the pure oil is too strong for your taste, try the following mixtures instead:
3 drops tea tree oil
2 drops lavender oil
2 drops geranium oil
or
4 drops tea tree oil
3 drops bergamot oil
Stain remover: I use the products sold by the company, so am not sure what strength should be used for your own mix. I do know that it can lift "tough, set in" stains and has saved many a garment from the trash bin. To make your own mix, I would experiment with un-usable garments first. This stuff is strong and if using the wrong concentration, could conceivably remove the color from the clothing.

As I said earlier, I use products containing tea tree oil, and therefore can vouch personally for many of the above mentioned treatments. I really can't say enough good things about tea tree oil. The skin lotion I use contains tea tree oil, and during the summer months, the bugs steer clear of me. I haven't had a mosquito bite when wearing the lotion yet.
