What is tea tree oil?
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Tea tree oil comes from a plant in Australia called Melaleuca alternifolia. It has been used for hundreds of years as a natural home remedy to treat many bodily ailments. It is often used to teat viruses, bacteria, and fungi. It is an antiseptic. I personally use it to treat my fingernail and toenail fungus and it has shown very positive results. Fungi is extremely common but very hard to kill. It can take anywhere between 4-8 weeks to get rid of it completely. In more severe cases, it may take even longer. I am going to be honest. There is no quick fix with fungus, even with an effective treatment like tea tree oil. Fungus is very stubborn. You have to be consistent and do your treatments twice a day for this to be effective. This is true with any treatment. Otherwise the fungus will just keep coming back. I start by using raw and organic Apple Cider Vinegar to cleanse the affected area. This also kills fungi. Then I follow this with tea tree oil.

Some of the Benefits of Tea Tree Oil
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Benefits of tea tree oil are extensive. Besides treating different kinds of fungus, it can also be used to treat acne, hair loss, MRSA, cancer, psoriasis, eczema, and kills mold. There are many other health benefits of tea tree oil. I will blog about it in more detail and put it in the “Natural Home Remedies” category. I was on prescription strength oral lamasil, which is an anti-fungal, with little to no results. I took this for six weeks. It has harmful side-effects. One of the side-effects is that it is very hard on your liver. I didn’t want to put my health at risk. Tea tree oil has been way more effective for me and does not have any harmful side-effects. Some people don’t like the smell but I actually love the smell. Even if I didn’t like the smell, I think that is a very small price to pay when you look at all the things you can do with tea tree oil.

When used for acne, you can mix 5 drops of tea tree essential oil with 2 teaspoons of raw honey. Rub it all over your face, let it sit for a minute and then rinse it off. Coconut oil also has fungal fighting properties. When mixed with tea tree oil, it increases the effectiveness. For hair, it can be used to treat dandruff, lice, dry and flaking scalp, and even hair loss. It is very good for your scalp. It unclogs your hair follicles and increases circulation to your scalp, which promotes hair growth. This works really well with apple cider vinegar and my hair is much thicker and fuller because of it.
