does this mean I'll start growing breasts on my lips, make a change from cold sores ;D
it might be a bit strong for little heads, hope someone can help, I always dilute oils with almond oil :)

Hi Debs - used undiluted on the toe nail and also on the shin as long as the skin is not broken
Nails responded really well with the new growth improving over a long period

Hey! Just seen this - can really vouch for the use on ulcers, fungal infections round nails, etc.....didn't know about the headlice tho ::)...and great to know it's got garden uses too. I never dilute it btw.

Does it really need to be storeds in the fridge as suggested on my bottle?
P.S. I'm trying it on fingernails, which are very brittle and only ever seem to grow
during summer months :-\

Can vouch for it working on nits, it is supposed to be a deterant.
Have got tea tree shampoo and an detangling spray for my sprogs,as at one point they seemed to be bringing home new 'friends' everyday. >:(
They haven't had them for months now, although now I've said that....
Doesn't smell the nicest though!

I'm an Aromatherapist and can confidently recommend Tea Tree for fungal nail infections (I've used it myself!). Tea Tree is one of few essential oils that can be used neat.
For head lice, I would recommend on very young children (under 5) that it is diluted in almond oil, rubbed into the hair, left for a few minutes, probably as long as they can stand the smell for :D and then washed out with a mild shampoo. Diluting it isn't essential as it is non toxic and non irritant but some people do show some sensitivity to it.
If you have any other questions, please let me know :)

Tea tree oil fab substance. This is my recipe for bug free hair ( 2 daughters, so bain of my life) Week night baths, teatree shampoo, comb through tea tree conditioner and use white plastic comb to go through, rinse bugs under tap. Once a month : small amount olive/ almond oil, 5 drops tea tree, 2 eucalyptus, 2 lavender, mix and massage into hair, but in straigtening motion, not round and round as this creates knots from hell and sreaming children. Leave on for about 5 minutes , rinse and wash as usual.
For the ladies Clary Sage massaged into tummy relieves cramps and Mandarin oil in a base of olive or almond oil is instant pick me up aroma. :)

I buy mine from QVC and put a drop on my dogs,fleas don't like it,l don't like the idea of putting those chemical drops on his neck.
Also it's good for keeping away mozzies apparently,but l stick to taking brewers yeast tabs for that :D
