Tea Tree Oil

[zoe76]

I just found a small bottle of tea tree oil, what can it be used for?

[gness]

I use it as a disinfectant, Zoe...just a tiny drop....

It's used in some hospitals....not in the UK though....unless I'm visiting you..☺

Leicester General nicknamed me Mrs Tea Tree.....x

If you have a cold it's good to put a few drops in hot water and use it as an inhalation with your head under a towel.

haha thanks for that mrs tea tree ;o) I read somewhere it was good for spots and I just put a tiny dot on a spot and its stinging like crazy

It's good for washing cats fur and skin.

It's powerful, Zoe....dilute a little....x

I had tea tree shower gel. OMG, I thought I was on fire ! It was really horrible stuff.

[Tilly2]

I put a drop on my toothbrush after brushing my teeth. Another quick brush with the tea tree and hey presto. It also disinfects the toothbrush.

[janbee]

Yes it is powerful stuff. I'm sure it'll also unblock clogged drains and melt lead. !! It's Kryptonite.

Good for clearing fungal nail growths and believed good to clear dandruff in conjunction with other hair shampoo.

[gness]

So you'd not recommend it for a romantic bubble bath then, Jan?

[janbee]

Gness, you could try... let me know what happens what your skin all peels off !

[gness]

Extreme exfoliation?....☺

[zoe76]

Thanks everyone, I've just rooted out a bottle of babyoil to try to mix a potion up - why did I do evil witchy grin when I said that?

[janbee]

Very extreme, like a Brillo Pad.

[gness]

Just leave the toads and newts alone, Zoe.....☺
