Tea tree oil comes from Melaleuca alternifoliais, a plant native to Australia. It has a myriad of topical uses (note: it should NEVER be ingested). My favorite characteristic of tea tree oil is that it has antibacterial properties. I use it in my wipe solution for the baby’s cloth wipes.
1. In cloth wipe solution
2. Prevent lice- put a few drops on your scalp
3. Soothe sunburns
4. Use in natural cleaning solutions- helps kill mold and bacteria
5. Use in homemade deodorant
6. Remove ticks
7. Use in homemade body scrubs and washes
8. Treat dry scalp
9. In a steam treatment for sinus congestion
10. In a bath for sore muscles
11. In a reed diffuser for aromatherapy
12. In homemade laundry detergent
13. In homemade dryer sheets or no dryer balls
It is important to use a quality tea tree oil to get the best results. I was sent Tea Tree Oil
from Apothecary Extracts to review and was really impressed. The bottle is REALLY large- 4 ounces! It’s pharmaceutical grade so it worked very well. It had the characteristic strong tea tree oil smell and I liked using it in homemade cleaner for my bathroom.

all ingredients into spray bottle and give it a good shake. Shake it prior to
