Tea Tree Oil - The Medicine Kit in a Bottle.
Tea Tree Oil has been known to the Bundjalung Tribe of New South Wales
Australia for hundreds of years for its medicinal properties.
This wonder oil was only tested scientifically in the early 1920's
by Arthur Penfold and found to be around 12 times more powerful than
carbolic acid and yet caused no harm to the skin. It was used
extensively by the Australian Defence Force during World War Two but
due to the discovery of synthetic drugs did not become popular again
until the 1960's.
Over the years it has proved itself as a natural antiviral,
antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory oil. One great
development was that it was found to deep penetrate the skin cleaning
it and encouraging the formation of scar tissue.
Some of the medical uses include healing blisters, reducing
swelling from insect bites and stings, cleaning and healing abrasions
and cuts, cures athletes foot and is very helpful in the healing of
acne. It will cure a sore throat, cold sores, coughs and dental
abscesses. It will solve most day to day first aid and medical
problems.
It also lends to daily beauty care as putting drops in shampoo,
body lotion, hand cream and in the bath will keep hair and skin clean
and healthy. A couple of drops on toothpaste will prevent gum
infections and bad breathe. It helps take the sting out of sunburn and
softens corns and calluses.
Tea Tree Oil's anti-bacterial properties also extend use in the
household chores, making the house clean and healthy. Putting drops in
the humidifier will clean, disinfect and refresh the air and putting
drops in the dishwasher and washing machine will kill all the germs.
Tea Trees only grow in Australia. There are many brands that are
from inferior trees and not from the genuine Tea Tree whose Botanical
name is Malaeuca. The name Tea Tree was given by Joseph Banks the
botanist who traveled with Captain Cook and collected the leaves to
make herbal teas.
Your first purchase should be made from a Health Shop until you
know how to define whether it is the genuine oil or an inferior oil as
the results will obviously not be the same with an inferior product.
There are many excellent websites on the internet and many
excellent books which will give you all uses of this wonderful oil. You
will be amazed at the excellent results you obtain and will find it is
truly a medicine kit in a bottle.
