Tea Tree Oil

I buy natural shampoos at the health store with tea tree oil and will add some of the essential oil to bath water, just for the aromatherapy.  I've also applied to my scalp, and this has helped myself and my kids from getting head lice when there were a lot of kids and parents getting it in our community.  For some reason, lice do not like tea tree oil.  I'm not sure how effective it is in treating a case of head lice, though it has preventing a recurrence of it once we treated our heads.  A friend of mine swears by coconut oil for lice treatment also, which she used for her son who has dreadlocks.  It sure beats having to use the store-bought pesticide treatments, although there are a lot of new natural options available too.

Tea tree oil is also a good antiseptic, at least this is what I've read. 

Seriously I haven't using it but I do have tea tree oil body soap.

Just be careful not to get it in your eyes - like I did - ouch!

Tea tree oil is good for treating acne,boil and carbuncles.Tea tree oil is also beneficial to treat infection of toenail fungus.Tea tree oil can be used to cure dandruff.

I have no idea on this. Heard it for first time.If it's healthy for skin then I must try.

Tea tree oil is brilliant for nail fungus infections.  My father, had an infection for weeks and nothing the Dr gave him worked.  We read some where about Tea Tree and it cleared it up in days.  Truly amazing stuff.

Wow wat a suggest.I was really unaware of it.I will definitely use it.Thanks for sharing it.

 Hi!
 tea tree oil is beneficial for the hair and it could be used either way.

it is amazing how little these responders know about tea tree oil. it does not mix with water so a drop in water is silly. it is so gentle that that it COULD be applied to the skin directly without carrier oil.If you mix the tea tree oil in carrier oil before you put it in the tub it will not glom it will spread around nicely. also it is absorbed through the skin so direct application is not needed. so what to do? mix 6 drops TT oil into a small amount of carrier oil like safflower or sunflower or grape seed or jojoba but NOT cooking oil like corn or canola. Put the mix in the tub of warm water and swish it around. child could stay in the tub for maybe 10 minutes. do not use a lot of TT oil because it has to be processed by the liver and it could overburden the liver and cause some problems. but 6 drops in a tub is fine. all oils can affect a person with seizure disorder. and last if you are pregnant don't swish the water with your hand as all oils can possibly cause a problem. other than those 3 issues oils are really safe and TT along with Lavender are among the safest. read up on TT oil at Camdengrey.com  .

2 drops of Tea tree oil in your regular shampoo is enough
