Advantages: It works

Disadvantages: none

I have discovered aromatherapy some years ago and with it I have learned about the wanders of Tea Tree Essential Oil. Now that I look back I can not believe I went an entire life time without knowing about this miraculous Oil.

Though over the years I have experimented with other Essential Oils I must say that Tea Tree is my all time favourite along with Lavender as it has such a wide range of uses.
Tea Tree is basically like an antibiotic. It is an very powerful antiseptic and disinfectant. This should not miss from any first aid kit, you can use it for insect bites or disinfect wounds safely.

It has an medicinal smell to it but in an herbal sort of way, very clean smell, is rather reminiscent to eucalyptus more likely.

I personally use it for my face, I love diluting it in a carrier oil like almond oil, rosehip seed oil, hemp seed oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil, or even blend all these carrier oils tougher for which I add Tea Tree at the end. The purpose of diluting it in a carrier oil for me is the fact that it keeps my skin blemish free, I swear by it that it can cure acne. My favourite ratio is of 2% Tea Tree Essential Oil diluted in carrier oils blend.

I even use this oil neat on this skin on blemishes, but I don't ever cover an large area as it can over dry the skin off. I also use it as a first aid when I have a small cuts or an insect bite. This ways is highly effective.

I buy mine from www.aromantic.co.uk either organic or wild. Sometimes this company over the holydays works slow and can be late in sending the parcel but they always sell good quality Tea Tree Essential Oil from Australia so that is why I always come back. Otherwise this Oil can easily be bought from any health food store shop and even some supermarkets but can be rather overpriced. I pay for mine for around £3 for 10ml, a little bit goes a very long way though.

Warning: Do not swallow, keep away from pets and childrens. If you use it to freshen up the room in can damage the animals respiratory system same as with any other type of room sprays, bleach and even vinegar, so don't over expose animals to things like that.

Summary: Essential item, can't live without it
