I have started using many different types of essential oils for cleaning, my beauty products, etc. Essential oils are GREAT if you know how to use them and do your research. They can replace many toxic and harmful chemicals found in beauty products and house hold cleaners. I have been slowly but surely transforming our home to be more GREEN and less toxic by making my own products. Essential oils are used in almost everything I make for home use. (This can also save you tons of $$!)
Tea Tree Oil
- I have read in several places that Tea Tree oil can make zitty zits go away. Well, I tried it, and IT WORKS. Just dab a little bit on the sucker and it shall be gone in less than 24 hours.
- You can also use it to get rid of sinus infections! I get these a lot. Drop 4 drops into a kettle or pot and steam with your head under a towel. I haven't tried it yet but have heard it does wonders.
- You can also put a few drops in a warm bath to help with any aches, cough, or sunburn.
- Cuts and burns-dab it on there!
- If you have kiddos this is great for head lice-just add it to shampoo.
- I use tea tree oil in my home made disinfectant cleaner and my all purpose cleaner at home. It has anti-fungal and bacterial properties and it makes my home smell CLEAN!
- Add it to your clothes in the dryer for a fresh scent to replace waxy dryer sheets. *I have a small spray bottle that I use with a few drops of tea tree oil and water* I then spray that on my clothes in the dryer...DELISH.
- It's a great insect repellant-just add to water and spray on your bod.
- DO NOT EAT TEA TREE OIL. It can have some serious side effects if eaten.
***Here's a little sneaky secret for those of you who do not have PRIME and really want FREE SHIPPING. (Thanks for raising that to $35 Amazon :|) I shop on Amazon for A LOT of things SO I just add what I want/need over a period time until I reach that $35. Don't worry-Amazon will save your cart for a veddy veddy long time***
