What it is :I am a huge supporter of essential oils in general. They have lots of uses and are a household staple. If I had to choose only one essential oil to keep in the house, my choice would be tea tree oil because it has antibacterial properties, medicinal properties, and it is extremely useful in cleaning.This particular essential oil comes from the evergreen leaves of the Australian Melaleuca Alternifolia tree. It has been known for it's healing and disinfecting properties and there is a lot of scientific evidence to support its effectiveness.
This particular essential oil has 45% Terpinen-4-ol. From Wikipedia: "Terpinen-4-ol is used in multiple skin related diseases including blepharitis, rosacea, Demodex, meibomian gland dysfunction, chalazion and dry eye. It’s also used in lid margin diseases. 4-Terpineol has miticidal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal effect." For at least 100 years, Aborigines have used the Australian native Melaleuca plant to treat wounds and cutaneous infections."
What I use it for:
I generally use it as a "face treatment" when my face feels congested, before doing a peel I apply some of this at night to kill off the bad bacteria on my face also to calm any inflammation. I also like to keep it in my medicine drawer in case of an injury or cut I can use this to disinfect and naturally heal the wound. Tea tree oil has many uses, I know people who use it for face wash, shampoos, massage oils, skin and nail creams and laundry detergents. I received this item in exchange for my honest review, opinions are 100% my own.
