Tea Tree Oil is the most powerful antiseptic/astringent home remedy I ever came across. Have used it for many years. I used to get occasional facial pimples that would resolve pretty quickly if I caught them early. It can be cut with Witch Hazel. A little goes a long way. Buy it in a dark bottle, as its potency lasts longer in them than in clear ones. I understand it was used in WWI and saved a lot of men from having to amputate limbs by staving off gangrene.

I live by lavender, peppermint and tea tree essential oils. I have been putting it directly on my skin but in the future plan to mix it with coconut oil to last longer. Lavender saves me from the itch of insect bites - so it goes directly on the bite. Now that we have a beach house, with the sand fleas and mosquitos in season, I will mix the peppermint oil - saved my life when recently there. Tea tree is new to me so am experimenting.

Butting in here, but I started using Tree Tea on a toe-nail fungus that went ignored for a year or more. I applied it directly to the nail, top and along the edge, forcing it up under the nail as much as possible. All this according to the info I got from Shootie. It took almost 2 full bottles (2 oz?? or so) but it stopped the fungus. I'm still seeing the nail grow out and may have quit the oil too soon. I'll go back to it if that's the case. Q-tip, with a few drops of the oil and swab over all. Works for me. Last minute edit: Just checked and my Tea Tree bottle is only 0.5 ounces. much small than I thought.

I started using it in a shampoo. I noticed "squeaky" clean scalp and skin. Then I read that it worked on fungus. I had a slight split toenail for 30 years....not an issue....used it for a few weeks and it grew out undamaged. Had a fungal infection of one toenail years ago.....I trimmed the nail and put tea tree oil on and it grew back totally attached and perfect. Had what appeared to be a little fatty bump under the eye....it's gone. Have a small viral wart on forearm....it keeps it from growing. And I think it would clear if I remembered to use it daily. Had a scale like irritation in one ear.....used it and it's gone. I started using 50/50 with olive or coconut oil to avoid irritation.....after a while I realized I was not sensitive to it and now I simply pour some into a little roll on bottle I got (six of them) on amazon and apply where and when necessary. If and when I get more aging crap....I'll try it on all issues. probably best not to eat it. Dr. FrankenShootie
