| Usage |
It is a very
powerful immune stimulant.
Tea Tree increases the body?s ability to respond to any of the above
organisms. It is an excellent oil for cold, influenza and infectious
illnesses. Use it in the bath at the first sign of cold or flu. One of
the beneficial affects of tea-tree oil is it stimulates sweating.
Verruca (warts) can be defeated, by
placing a single drop of neat oil every day on the center of the wart.
It will take several weeks to remove the wart but it will be killed.
Tea-Tree is used to treat acne. Alternate it with oils like Lavender
and Bergamot. Some women tend to get spots around the nose and chin in
the days preceding menstruation. A drop of tea tree dabbed on each
spot reduces the heat and pain and clears the spots up quickly.
The immuno-stimulant effects are useful
in illnesses like glandular fever. People who repeatedly experience
infections or who are slow to recover from any illness will benefit.
If treating candida, continue the treatments for several weeks after
the symptoms have disappeared. Do not forget to treat both partners.
