Tea Tree Oil Testimonials
"Charlie, a business acquaintance, asked me if I knew of anything which
might help with his athletes foot, a long standing condition which has been
extremely uncomfortable over 16 years. I suggested he apply Tea Tree Oil
directly to the affected part, together with lavender oil. 10 days later he let
me know that his condition was almost clear of the dreaded athletes foot, and
has asked me to write up the article on tea tree oil in his local magazine, as
he feels everyone should have access to therapeutic essential oils. Non of the
proprietary brands had much affect. " Norman
"I recently woke up with a urinary infection. I had to frequently urinate and had a lot of pain and burning. I immediately began taking cranberry supplements with possibly a slight improvement.
The following morning I awoke with a turn for the worse, as I was passing pink-red colored urine and still had the intense burning sensation and pain with the increased urination. I thought that possibly the infection had moved to my kidneys since I also had lower back pain. I began an immediate treatment using Melaleuca and Sage. Since I was unsure where the infection had settled, I applied first Melaleuca (3-4 drops neat) in the area just above the pubic area in front, followed by Sage applied in the same manner. I then had 2 of my children apply the same treatment to my lower back area where the kidneys lie. They followed this with a 30 minute massage across my entire lower back.
I continued this treatment 3 more times (about every 1 1/2 hours) and by afternoon I had very little to no pain and clear urine. Over this 2 day period I also drank about a quart of water every hour. I
continued the above treatment using the oils 2 times a day (morning and evening) for 3 more days and continued to drink plenty of water."

Nail Fungus Help. . . .
If you notice fungus growing under your toe nail like I did you might want to try this. I've been doing this and it seems to be working.
Cut the unhealthy nail away as much as possible.
File the remaining unhealthy nail down thinner with an emory board where the nail is discolored, as thin as possible.
Put a drop or two of oil with anti-fungal properties (I'm using Tea Tree oil) on some cotton and tape it to the affected area.
Leave it in place for a day or two.
File the nail again weekly, a good time is after a shower, and repeat the oil, cotton and taping as before.
My big nail seems to be growing out in a healthy manner, while the oil is killing the fungus or at least keeping it in check.
This should take as much time to kill the fungus while the nail grows out as if you were taking the pills.
But this is certainly preferable to medicating your whole body while doing it and a heck of a lot
cheaper, too.
