Tea Tree oil benefits date back centuries as people used to use this as medicine for all of their ailments!

Tea tree oil is one of the important elements of any survival kit or first aid kit.
When used topically, tea tree oil is believed to be antibacterial. Tea tree oil is commonly used to treat acne, athlete’s foot, lice, nail fungus and insect bites.
Why tea tree oil?
I love tea tree oil! It is one of my very favorite essential oils and I use it for so many things. Studies have shown that tea tree oil kills several common bacteria and viruses responsible for causing illness, including E. coli, pneumonia and the flu.
Tea tree oil is also AMAZING for the skin. Besides fighting bacteria, it also has healing properties that helps with cuts, scrapes and redness.

How does Tea Tree Oil Soothe the Skin?
Tea tree oil can help soothe dry skin by reducing itching and irritation. Also, it’s been shown to be more effective than zinc oxide and clobetasone butyrate creams in treating eczema.
In a bath, tea tree oil heals skin conditions, and it relieves inflammation as well as respiratory issues such as coughs, colds, and the flu.
When tea tree oil is combined with epsom salt in a bath salt recipe, it can help relax muscles, reduce stress level, and soften the skin.
