Australian Tea Tree

Tea tree oil is applied to the skin (used topically) for infections such as acne, fungal infections of the nail, lice, scabies, athlete's foot, and ringworm. It is also used topically as a local antiseptic for cuts and abrasions, burns, insect bites and stings, boils, vaginal infections, herpes, toothache, infections of the mouth and nose, sore throat, and for ear infections.

Some people add it to bath water to treat cough, bronchial congestion, and pulmonary inflammation.

Essential oils are powerful, and tea tree oil is no exception. The greatest concern when it comes to using tea tree oil is skin irritation. Some people, especially those with sensitive skin, may experience a reaction when they come into direct contact with the oil. If this is a concern for you, always dilute the tea tree oil in a liquid neutral oil such as olive oil, grapeseed oil, almond oil, etc. *Mixing with water does no good as it’s an oil and will therefore separate - it must have another fat to grab onto.

All essential oils and natural products sold are intended for external use only. Internal use may be toxic and therefore is not recommended. It is best to avoid essential oils if pregnant or if there is a history with epilepsy. Use of any products/oils is at your own risk. It is advised to consult a GP or qualified medicinal professional before utilising anything for health benefits. All oils are of the best quality - sourced in bulk from leading NZ retailers.
