Re: Herbs and Skin

So where do I get this gs famous tea tree oil and how do I use it.
I would very much like to try it. Is it only for blemishes or does
it have other uses as well?

Re: Herbs and Skin

You can buy it from the Bodyshop or Holland and Barrats (sp?)

I personally don't think it works, well it didn't for me anyway. Water and plenty of it usually does the job.

PCG, i love herbs and natural products.

Sajal, you can buy tea tree oil from any drug store, health food stores, or aromatherapy places..usually the best tea tree oil is from australia..it is antiseptic and anti biotic..not only that it good for acne..its good for dandruff..

when i used to work at the spa..we used tea tree oil in every single thing..be it the soak water for manicure or pedicure to sea salt baths..

oh yes, you can even mix several aromatherapy oils and can make the mixture to kill lice..one of my ex-colleague made it for her friend's daughter and it works..

tea tree oil is also used in herbal toothpastes as well.

For those whith young children, it's also the best natural way to get rid of headlice without having to use strong medicated products.

Re: Herbs and Skin

so then are there shampoos that use tea tree oil?

Re: Herbs and Skin

I've seen quite a few shampoos available that use tea tree oil as their main ingredient, it's good for dandruff and problem scalps.

You use the tea tree oil undiluted when using it to treat head lice though.
