Natural antiseptic - tea tree oil
Tea tree oil imported from Australia has conquered all five continents. Ether will captivate every woman with its daring and refreshing scent. The spice notes in tandem with the light bitterness of wood seduce many aromatherapy lovers. Among other things, this ether has a fluid and light texture. At one time it was used in medicine as an antibiotic. Wounds were treated with a moistened swab and then bandaged. Such procedures served as a disinfection of the affected skin areas, which promoted rapid healing. 
An allergy test should be done before use. You can rub a few drops into the skin near your ear, wrist, or delicate parts of your hands and wait 24 hours. If irritation (rash, redness) has gone, then its use is contraindicated.
Mini pharmacy by nature
This product is obtained mainly from the leaves of malaleuca, as the tree is called in its native lands. Distillation is done in multi-housing evaporators (Australian companies use the cold pressing method), which helps to preserve many of the useful chemical compounds, of which it contains more than 98 names. While most of them fight viruses and bacteria, tea tree oil is still used to:
- relieve pain;
- prevent the appearance of malignant tumors;
- strengthen hair follicles;
- support the immune system;
- improve skin condition (get rid of acne, blackheads and fungi);
- relieve swelling;
- recharge with vivacity;
- help the body to remove toxins from poisoning;
- to handle the stress;
- increase brain activity.
The effectiveness of this drug is achieved due to the correct ratio of only 2 of its main components - terpinene (40-50%) and ceniol. It is the last chemical compound that causes a strong allergic reaction. Therefore, its content in the aromatic base should be as low as 5%. Then tea tree essential oil will become a real home medicine cabinet in miniature.
It can be used to treat a runny nose and sinusitis. You just need to lubricate your sinuses several times a day.
Application features
All cosmetic and medical procedures should be performed no more than 3-4 times a day. In this case, it is important to ensure that there are no side effects. It is recommended for use when the body does not take antibiotics. Depending on the purpose of therapy, as well as individual tolerance for the components, the dosage of the drug will also change. The standard is two or five drops at a time. It can be used both alone and in combination with:
- rosemary;
- nutmeg;
- cinnamon;
- thyme;
- lavender.
Thanks to these oils, the heady aroma of incense is enhanced. This reduces the likelihood of burns and irritation. For fungal diseases, it is worth buying concentrated tea tree oil with a mark of 100%. A 10% solution is suitable for those with very sweaty feet, and a 5% solution for acne treatment. The drug is used for:
- inhalations;
- massage;
- insect protection;
- apartment / house cleaning;
- water procedures (added to a bath or shampoo);
- relieving inflammation when bitten by a mosquito or bee.
With its help, the air in the room is disinfected. To do this, you need to put an aroma lamp on an elevated place and light a candle in it. However, it should burn no more than 2-3 hours. When viral diseases flourish, you can hang an aromaculon / amphora with a few drops of oil around your neck. A favorable "aura" created around a person will "scare away" harmful viruses and bacteria.
This ether should not be drunk or consumed with food. Keep bottles out of the reach of small children. Do not use in pure form while taking a bath. Better to dilute a few drops with milk and pour into hot water.
Will help to cope with the fungus
Often, fungal organisms affect the nail plate. Gradually, they destroy tissue and eventually disfigure the nails. Therefore, tea tree oil will also help get rid of the fungus. Every day for one / two weeks, you need to carry out the following procedures:
- make a foot bath;
- when they steam, remove the keratinized skin;
- remove the upper nail layer with a nail file;
- generously rub 2 drops of ether into each nail;
- wait until it is absorbed;
- do not wet for the next two hours.
After 14 days, everything should be repeated again. The course of treatment is three months. These sessions are relevant for both the arms and legs. The main requirement for such procedures is long-term, as well as intensive rubbing. The reason for this is the hardened layer of the nail, which is difficult to influence from external factors. It is the massage movements and pressure that promote the absorption of the medicinal components.
Another treatment method is baths. The effect will only be noticeable with daily application of tea tree oil for 30 days. To prepare such a solution, a woman will need:
- 15-20 drops of ether;
- 1 tsp honey;
- 3 pinches of sea salt;
- a teaspoon with a slide of soda.
All this is diluted in one liter of hot water. The duration of the steaming session is a quarter of an hour. Then you need to let them dry naturally. To make the oily base absorb faster, you can use liquid soap (1 tablespoon) for half a liter of liquid. However, this bath requires only 5 drops of a healing potion.
Compresses are recommended twice a day. With a brush, gently apply oil so as not to touch the cuticle. Then they cover up with a plaster or tied tightly with a bandage. Such bandages are worn constantly for 3 months.
Skin like a baby
Time, stress and illness leave its mark on a woman's face. In addition, the surge in hormones in adolescence is changing the face of a teenager beyond recognition. Acne and pustules often rob a child of self-confidence. Therefore, caring mothers use tea tree oil for acne, thereby bringing joy to their children. It dries up and reduces the scale of these terrible objects on the face. It can be applied in the following ways:
- Lubricate each individual pimple pointwise. Drop ether on a cotton swab and burn the affected area. This should be done two or three times a day.
- Add to cream. Pour some of the cream into a small glass container so that it is enough for 4-5 receptions. Stir in a couple of drops of oil and lubricate your face.
- Lotion of our own production. A decoction of herbs is taken as a basis: sage, St. John's wort and calendula (2 tbsp. L. Steamed in 200 ml of boiling water and insisted for 60 minutes). Add 10 drops of the miracle ether to the cooled liquid. The mixture is diluted with lemon juice (1 tsp) to degrease the skin. Rubbing is carried out in the morning and evening after washing.
- Masks. A 15-minute mask will help the girls as close as possible to their goal. The white of one egg is intensively knocked down, gradually adding tea tree oil, lavender, and rosemary (two drops of each component). Apply the air mass evenly over the entire face.After a while, wash off with warm water. The same mask can be made from yolk. Only instead of lavender, olive oil is added, and the amount of the main ingredient is increased to 4 drops. The mixture is applied in the form of applications and only on inflamed areas.
After washing off any mask, you should always soften your face. For this, it is advisable to take a nourishing lotion or fat cream.
However, do not think that the healing properties of tea tree oil make it a panacea for common ailments. Indeed, many of them are often caused by a malfunction of the organs or systems of the body. Therefore, one cannot do without the experience and knowledge of doctors.
