Therapeutic Indications
The tea tree is a large tree native to Australia and southern Asia. One of the most popular essential oils of the natural health products industry, tea tree oil is obtained from leaves and twigs. Use of this plant spans many centuries, but only recently has it received mainstream attention.

Tea tree is powerful enough to remove skin diseases, yet gentle enough to apply directly onto the skin. Traditional use of Australian tea tree includes skin injuries, rheumatism, toothaches, colds, sore and aching muscles, head-aches, and as a mouthwash.

Current research has proven the effectiveness of this plant's anti-microbial properties. It is used to successfully treat cuts, stings, acne, toe nail fungus, and burns. This essential oil is potent enough that tea tree soaked blankets are often used to cover burn victims, preventing infections.

In addition to eradicating microbial infections, tea tree is one of the few natural products that is a successful insect repellent, and removes head lice.

For an effective head lice treatment, wash hair and scalp thoroughly using a tablespoon of shampoo enhanced with 30 drops of Super Strength Oil of Oregano and 15 drops pure Tea Tree Oil.
Remove all nits! Separate hair in sections and remove all lice and attached nits using a high quality nit comb, baby safety scissors and fingernails as required.
Wash bedding and recently worn (potentially infested) clothing, cloth hair accessories (scrunchies, elastics, etc.) in hot water enhanced with 60 drops of Super Strength Oil of Oregano and dry in a hot clothes dryer.
Soak combs and hair brushes in hot (not boiling) water enhanced with 10 drops of Super Strength Oil of Oregano.
Open Super Strength Oil of Oregano Organicaps®, combine with Extra Strength Tea Tree Body Powder and sprinkle combination onto rugs, upholstered furniture, stuffed animals, and car seats. Let sit for 15 minutes, then vacuum to remove lice or fallen hairs with attached nits.
Repeat the steps outlined in this list until all nits and lice are removed.

Some oils, such as tea tree, can be applied directly on the skin, while others must be diluted first to avoid irritating dermal tissue.

Tea Tree recieved its name from its local usage as a type of herbal tea prepared from the leaves. Most of the benefits of tea tree have been learned from the long historical use by the aboriginal people of Australia. It has been researched by modern scientific methods and it has been found to be effective against infectious organisms. It was also discovered that it is an immune-stimulant, thereby increasing the body's defense against any unwanted infectious organisms.

Commercially tea tree is used in soaps, toothpaste, household cleansers, deodorants, disinfectants, gargles, germicides, mouthwashes, shampoos, conditioners and in after shaves and spicy colognes.
