TEA TREE OIL/MELALEUCA OIL

There are over 90 Essential Oils, each one with a unique menu of benefits. Over the next few days, I’ll review some of my favorites. But one I can’t live without is Tea Tree Oil, or what is known as Melaleuca Oil. It grows in Australia on the Melaleuca alternafolia bush. It has a very pungent scent, so you can either love it or hate that aspect…. but you’ll love the benefits.

Melaleuca Oil Benefits

  • Natural insect repellent
  • Antifugicidal (gets rid of nail fungus)
  • Antiseptic for cuts and scrapes
  • Treats Athletes Foot
  • Helps with your household cleaners (santizes surfaces)
  • Great for skin inflammations (acne, psoriasis) 

and the list goes on and on and on.

It’s so great, I even travel with it!
