Tea Tree Oil Uses!

I absolutely love tea tree oil.
I think it smells great, a little goes a long way, it has many uses, and its not terribly hard to find! 

We use tea tree oil in the wash with our diapers ( only 2-3 drops, it's some potent stuff) to disinfect and keep our diapers fresh! I also love to use it in the laundry with workout clothes to keep them smelling nice and clean.

Here are some other great uses for tea tree oil:

1. A little dab to help with acne
2. You can use it as an antiseptic in cuts
3. Put a little on bug bites
4. Add a drop or two to shampoo to help with dandruff
5. Mix with water in a spray bottle and spray on mold
6. Add a couple of drops to laundry when washing to keep clothes fresh!
7. Can help with athlete's foot
8. Put a couple drops in shampoo to keep lice away (useful if your kid has been around another kid who may have it!)


...and many more!

The brand that I chose to use in our home is NOW Naturals.

It smells great and works well! We bought ours at Vitamin Shoppe.

Do not take tea tree oil internally, it is not meant for consumption!
