Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 Babs, I use my finger tip to transfer the oil from the bottle to the soles of my feet. There is an area (circular) under the toes where I apply the drops and then rub it circular direction into the feet. I purchased a pound cake for my family yesterday as they have been complaining about no sweets here in the house. Last night, I cut myself this tiny piece. During the night, I was completely stopped up so got up and got the oiils. I placed two drops on my forehead and one under my nose. Within 30 minutes I was completely open and went on to sleep well. I am trying to catch the cold my family has so will really kick up the grapefruit seed extract, minced garlic downed in water, aloevera (about 2 tablespoons) and I have a mixture of herbs by Traditional which really kicks the mucous buildup with a cold. It is called GMS EXPECTORANT. It is very expensive $41.00 for 8 fluid ounces. It contains garlic, meullin, comfrey, fennel and lobelia. I gave my teenage son 2 T twice daily in a little mixture of water. I also forced him to down two cloves of garlic minced in water (I sure get an award for persuading him to do this) twice daily. Also gave him 8 colostrum capsules a day. His cold went away without our having to take him to the doctor for sinuses as usual. I think I made some progress in his believing in me again. You can order the traditional off the internet. Will send you the link to this.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Message: 12 Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2003 15:56:34 -0400 From: " Sadhna Corey " <scorey@...> Subject: tea tree oil I am wondering if anyone has tried using tea tree oil or other essential oils to get rid of bacteria and yeast. From what I am reading about tea tree oil - it works on candida albicans and clostridum perfingens and clostridium sporogenes - off course I am not sure if this is the same bacteria and yeast as most of our kids have. What I am wondering has anyone tried this? Does anyone have info and does tea tree oil kill the good bacteria? Also will topical usage work - how much, how ofter... Thanks, Sadhna tea tree oil is standard topical treatment for tinea in australia. i find that it is effective, but only if shoes are wiped with it and socks are dried on the clothesline after having a couple of drops in the rinsing water. it is still important to ensure that the person goes barefoot for a while each day to get good air circulation. i really dont like the idea of swallowing the stuff though. --------------------------------- Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 http://fiascofarm.com/herbs/teatree.htm Tea Tree Oil Information, Uses & Recipes First - Be careful when buying Tea Tree Oil. Tea Tree Oil is available commercially in a range of grades. It is worthwhile to use the best quality oil you can find. Very often, you get what you pay for. Make sure to find out what kind of Tea Tree Oil you are getting. You want to look at the Cineole and Terpinen-4-ol numbers. Cineole: The lower the number the better. Tree oils with high cineole content are thought to be of poor quality and more likely to cause skin irritation. Terpinen-4-ol: The higher the number the better. Terpinen-4-ol appears responsible for most of the antimicrobial activity of tea tree oil. Australian standard for Tea Tree Oil (AS2782-1985) requires a maximum cineol content of 15% and a minimum terpinen-4-ol of 30%. Categories of Tea Tree Oil: Cineole / Terpinen-4-ol Concentrations: Pharmaceutical Grade: 3% or less Cineole; 37% or more Terpinen-4-olCosmetic Grade: 5% or less Cineole; 35% or more Terpinen-4-olTechnical Grade: 10% or less Cineole; 30% or more Terpinen-4-ol Properties: aromatic, antiseptic, anesthetic (mild), antibacterial, antimicrobial, disinfectant, fungicide, germicide History: Tea Tree Oil, also known as Melaleuca, was used as a general antiseptic by the aborigine tribes for thousands of years. Aborigines were known to chew on the leaves. It was used as a medicinal agent for cuts, burns, bites and many, skin ailments. Famous British explorer Captain Cook is held as the man responsible for the name 'tea tree'. In 1770 when he and his men landed at Botany Bay, Cook brewed the leaves of the tree for his men to drink to prevent scurvy. As early as 1923, clinical trials in Australia began to provide scientific evidence for tea tree's antiseptic and bactericidal properties. Its importance made it standard issue for the soldiers in the Australian Army during World War II. Common Uses: Used topically for all skin ailments, cuts, burns, acne, cold sores, irritations of mouth and throat. Tea tree oil is an important component of any first aid kit. It can help with many minor conditions that commonly occur. Used topically for all skin ailments, cuts, burns, acne, cold sores, boils, warts, vaginal infections, ringworm, skin rashes, impetigo, herpes, corns, lice, insect bites, insect repellent and fungal infections. It has valuable properties for healing and preventing infection. Tea tree oil acts as a mild anesthetic when applied to painful areas and to soothe cuts and burns. It can help heal as well as reduce scarring. Tea tree oil can be used to deter fleas, insect bites and stings. (The FDA does not allow the use of the word " repellant " on any natural insect deterrents so I use the word " deter " instead.) Tea tree oil contains at least 48 different organic compounds. The compounds work together to produce the healing abilities found in the oil. Research done in the 1950s and early 1960s found that tea tree oil is a germicide and fungicide with additional characteristics of dissolving pus and debris. Recent studies have found it effective for thrush, vaginal infections of Candida albicans, staph infections, athlete's foot, hair and scalp problems, mouth sores, muscle and joint pain, pain, and boils. Tea tree oil is a valuable antiseptic for skin infections. It is able to penetrate the epidermis to heal from within. Clinical studies have found that tea tree oil can heal quickly and with less scarring than other treatments. The oil is even effective against Staphylococcus aureus, which is often difficult to treat and is becoming resistant to antibiotic therapy. Tea tree oil has been found to be effective against many organisms including E. coli, Candida albicans, herpes virus, and many others. Tea tree oil is an effective bactericide. It is safe for healthy tissue. It is a strong organic solvent and will help heal and disperse pus in pimples and wounds. It has been used to neutralize the venom of minor insect bites. It is able to kill bacteria by penetrating the skin layers and reaching deep into abscesses in the gums and even beneath the fingernails. It has been found to have some of the strongest antimicrobial properties ever discovered. Tea tree oil is used as a disinfectant to purify air. It is suitable for home use as well as in a hospital room as it does not interfere with other treatment for the patient. Tea tree oil can be used for removal of warts and to heal chicken pox blisters. It can be applied directly to heal cuts and bruises. It is so seemingly mild and non-poisonous that it can be used for mouth ulcers. Tea tree oil is even effective against Staphylococcus aureus, which is often difficult to treat and is becoming resistant to antibiotic therapy. Tea tree oil has been found to be effective against many organisms including E. coli, Candida albicans, herpes virus, and many others. Uses as a General Antiseptic & Cleanser Add 1 teaspoon of 100% pure oil to 1 1/5 gallons of water when washing windows, floors, toilets, bathrooms and kitchen surfaces. Add 2 teaspoons of 100% pure tea tree oil to washing machine for a fragrant, fresh wash. Household ants and other pests dislike tea tree oil, so a few drops put at the point of entry will deter them. Wipe cupboards out with an oil and water solution to deter cockroachesRemove scuff marks from a vinyl/linoleum floor by rubbing with a damp cloth to which pure oil has been added. Room Spray: 5 drops of tea tree oil to 2½ cups water. Spray around room to refresh and give a cooling effect.Refrigerator gaskets stay fresh and clean if you wipe them over occasionally with a tea tree oil/water solution. Shower doors stay cleaner if you wipe them over with a tea tree oil/water solution. Helps prevent soap sum build-up. After washing down walls and removing grime and mildew, wipe over again with a tea tree oil/water solution to prevent mildew regrowth. To remove chewing gum from hair, apply pure oil. Diaper Cleanser: Add 20 drops tea tree oil to approximately 1 gallon of water, stir, then soak diapers overnight. Other Uses: Apply 1 or 2 drops Lavender oil and Tea tree oil directly to cuts, scrapes, or scratches to promote healing.Add 3-5 drops of Tea Tree oil to 30ml of base oil and massage in for rheumatic pain.

Not only will this addition assist in keeping your mouth, breath and gums healthy but aids in fighting plaque. Dab pure oil onto mouth cankers, abscesses and site of toothache for relief. Cautions & Comments: For those with sensitive skin, it is bets to dab a tiny drop of the oil on your skin before applying it liberally on your desired areas. If you feel no irritations within half an hour, it is safe to assume you have no allergy towards tea tree oil. Uses for Pets: Caution: Before using tea tree oil your cats please read this: Tea Tree Oil & Cats Rarely, if ever, should high doses of undiluted tea tree oil be used on dogs, cats, ferrets and other small pets.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Thank you Yvette. Yes, I do feel we were protected. I haven't heard of anyone being harmed but there was a lot of sever damage in parts of this region. I truly believe that prayers work, and I do feel there were a lot of prayers that night. I've been practicing something since I was in my early 30s. I am not even sure what name it's called. It's like sending Reiki energy out. I picture in my mind a beautiful Golden White Light (from Spirit, some call it the Christ Light), I send this light to what ever needs protecting. You would be amazed what it can do. By adding extra colors, like violet for cleansing, blue for peace, yellow for joy, orange for wisdom, pink for love, a person can use this light for healing physical problems, change their moods and it goes on. :-) This is another form of healing. Well, I have done it again. I shared me. Lol! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

When we don't post where the information comes from, we are claiming it as our work and knowledge. We may have the knowledge, but we didn't do the work. So it's dishonest, and I don't want to have to deal with Plagurism down the road. Now if you don't know where the article comes from, you can always type in Author Unknown. This shows you are not taking the credit for it. And if you have written an article, please be sure to put in Written by _____. :-) In my little area, we were very fortunate as the multiple storms did not cause any damage. We lost power, but it was back on when I got up. There were tornado touch downs in Louisville, but we were blessed here. And it could have been a lot worse than it was. Thank You Art and Janey and All who said prayers for us! :-) I will be replying to the emails as I gather myself. I do believe I left part of myself in a journey last night. Have you ever woke up from dreaming, and you felt very spacey, like you don't have yourself together? That's called "walking between the worlds". (Thanks Sis for reminding me.) Have a super day, All.

Tea Tree Oil is available commercially in a range of grades. It is worthwhile to use the best quality oil you can find. Very often, you get what you pay for. Make sure to find out what kind of Tea Tree Oil you are getting. You want to look at the Cineole and Terpinen-4-ol numbers. Cineole: The lower the number the better.
