FIRST AID KIT IN A BOTTLE
Tea tree oil may naturally help treat cuts, scrapes, insect bites and stings, and other minor skin wounds and irritations. Tea tree oil blends rapidly and easily with the skin's own oils. In the process, the oil alters the chemical barrier of the skin making it less hospitable for the growth of fungi and other organisms. In these ways, tea tree oil not only lessens the chance of infection, it also promotes healing and reduces the likelihood of scarring. Fights fungal nail infections, jock itch, and athlete's foot also. Tea tree oil has been shown to be effective in countering Trichophyton, the fungus that causes numerous topical infections, including athlete's foot and jock itch. It has been shown to be effective in some cases on and against MRSA.
For athlete's foot: Apply tea tree oil or cream to affected areas twice a day and/or use it in a foot bath. For a foot bath: Put 20 drops of tea tree oil in a small basin of warm water and soak the feet for 15 minutes, two or three times a day. Dry the feet thoroughly after soaking and apply a drop or two of oil to the affected area and then spread a coat of VICKS SALVE over the oil to keep it in place.
Acne: Apply a drop to each acne lesion two to three times a day. It will dry it up amd draw it to a head. We make a nice product called BD touch stick with a roll on applicator perfect for use on acne, cold sores, scratches, abbrasions, stings, insect bites and many more uses. It has TTO and calendula, chamomille, witch hazel and a host of othe rall natural ingredients. check it out!
Warts: Put a few drops of the oil on a small gauze compress and tape it over the wart at bedtime. Remove it in the morning. Repeat until the wart heals.
Nail Fungus Putting straight tea tree oil on the fungus around nail cuticles can diminish it over time especially if you add alayer of vicks salve to keep it in place.
Ticks I had read somewhere that Tea Tree Oil was helpful when removing ticks. Put full strength Tea Tree Oil on the tick and wait until the tick lets go then flush it down the toilet. It takes about 30 seconds but I like the fact that they usually back out completely.
Eczema and Rash I suffer with eczema in the winter months, especially my right under arm, which cracks open in one spot and never seems to heal until the warm weather comesback. TTO really helps heal it quickly. I make a tea tree oil shea butter cream called RESTORZ shea butter cream that is really nice for this problem and have had much success in helping many with skin challenges. Some of our other tea tree oil products are RESTORZ SOAP, HEALING SALVE, TEA TREE OIL, BD TOUCH STICK, Bug OFF soap, Bug Away Spray. check them out if you have skin challenges.
