tea tree oil is fabulous and I wouldn't be with out it. I use a q-tip for application and be aware, it stinks to high heaven. I get huge welts from mosquito bites and all I have to do is dab the bite with the tea tree oil and it stops the itching. i also use it when I get a heat rash between my toes or around my ankles in the summer from wearing heavy shoes. i just dab it on before going to bed after my shower. When my grand kids got ring worm from a kitten they found, we used tea tree oil to treat it and it worked very well.
just apply the tree oil directly to the area needed is stinks for a second but its great
Cottonball it on straight. Not near eyes, nose or mouth though unless it is diluted.
do not apply it directly. If you want to put it on your nose for example, when you put some on your finger, by the time you bring it to the nose it will have already been absorbed into the finger. Drop 14 drops into an ounce of "carrier" oil like grapeseed or almond or sunflower, NOT cooking oil. Or put a few drops into a small amount of light lotion and stir it around.Then you can use it from finger to nose. The carrier keeps the essential oil from evaporating and absorbing too quickly.Use tea tree oil for any skin condition that may be of bacterial, viral, or fungal origin. Tea tree kills all these organisms.
I use it directly on my acne. and cold sores. I apply very often and if I catch early enough they don't go full blown. I use my finger.
1. Open package
2. Pour it down toliet.
Repeat for any more of the product you have.
Tea tree oil is a known antifungal agent, effective in vitro against multiple dermatophytes found on the skin. In vivo, shampoo with 5% tea tree oil has been shown to be an effective treatment for dandruff due to its ability to treat Malassezia furfur, the most common cause of the condition.
