TEA TREE OIL

Tea tree oil is a must for your medicine cabinet, but beware, its powers are limited to topical applications only. It’s time to pack your bag for that well deserved holiday – bathing suit, sunscreen, toothbrush and tea tree oil?

Tea Tree Oil is one of the strongest and most effective natural antiseptics. It may not be the first thing you think of, but it’s an essential addition to any first aid bag or suitcase. Tea tree oil is one of the strongest and most effective natural antiseptics; killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi upon contact.

Australian Aboriginals have been using Malaleuca alternifolia, aka Tea tree, for centuries. They used to brew the leaves and apply the pulp on a variety of ailments and to repel insects. When samples of Tea Tree were brought to England for study, its anti-fungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects were confirmed. It is now well-known and commonly used to treat acne, cuts, wounds, sore throat, ringworm, athlete’s foot, vaginal infections, hemorrhoids, insect bites and dandruff.

It is important to note that Tea Tree oil is toxic when ingested. It can cause vomiting, diarrhea, severe rash, confusion and even coma. Be cautious or refrain from using Tea Tree topically on pets, as they may ingest the tea tree while grooming. A small number of patients also experience contact dermatitis when using Tea Tree oil topically. Using a diluted concentration may help to decrease the incidence of any skin reaction.

Tea Tree can be applied directly to an acne lesion.

EUCALYPTUS

Eucalyptus essential oil is used for respiratory infections and asthma...

Essentials oils have been used around the globe for centuries. They are used for both pleasure and medicinal purposes. Medicinally, certain essential oils can be ingested orally to have a biochemical effect on your body. Because essential oils are volatile, meaning they can evaporate into the air especially when added to hot water, they can be breathed in through your respiratory system.

Eucalyptus has been used by indigenous cultures globally

This can have a local effect on your sinuses, nasal passages and lungs. They can even enter your blood circulation through being inhaled which will then have a biochemical effect on your entire body. Topically essential oils work by penetrating your skin to affect an area locally and by penetrating your skin a small amount can enter your blood stream affecting your whole body. Applied topically, essential oils are absorbed through your olfactory nerve in your nose affecting your brain and nervous system. These various pathways can affect your health both mentally and physically. The study of Aromatherapy – the medicinal use of essential oils – falls under the new science called Psychoneuroimmunology, which is the study of the interaction of your psyche, nervous system and immune system. Science has shown that when you have a positive outlook and feel relaxed your immune system works better.
