There are so many tea tree oil benefits! Study how to use tea tree oil for skin, face, and around your domestic! You’ll soon love having this fundamental oil around!
Essential oils are one of my absolute favorite products when it comes to wellness — and even around my domestic. If you’ve been following along with the small fundamental oil series we started up final year you know I have alllllll kinds of oils, and use each one for someleang dwhetherferent.
But seriously, whether you’re not into fundamental oils yet…it’s genuinely a MUST. Not only do they smell Incredible, but each one has their own benefits when it comes to wellness, and many even have benefits that can he helpful around your domestic.
One of my favorite of fundamental oils is tea tree oil.
It smells Incredible and the benefits could go on and on.
What makes tea tree oil so Incredible is it’s cleansing ability. It is taken from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternwhetherolia tree, which is native to Australia. The indigenous people have been using tea tree for thousands of years for it’s strong antimicrobial and antiseptic properties.
And there are a ton of ways you can easily use tea tree oil too! Here are a few of my favorite ways to use tea tree oil, and why you HAVE to have tea tree oil around you house.
How to Employ Tea Tree Oil
Clear Up a Sore Throat – With all of tea tree oil’s cleansing and disinfecting properties, it makes a perfect, natural remedy for sore throats. Because it fights inflammation, and infections, it makes a great gargle when your throat starts to get sore. The MOMENT you start to get that scratchiness in your throat, make a simple gargle with 1 drop of tea tree oil, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 8 ounces of water. Swish it around and gargle with it, then spit it out. (Don’t totally freak whether you swallow a tiny bit, but be certain to spit it most of it out). Repeat once a day until you’re feeling healthy again.
DIY Deodorant – One of my favorite DIYs on the blog to date is the domesticcrazye deodorant I shared years ago. It’s still someleang I use every single day, and I SWEAR it works! Tea tree oil fights the bacteria that likes to congregate under your arms and this bacteria is the cause of body odor…the less bacteria, the less odor. Desire to switch to a healthier and all-natural deodorant?? Attempt this recipe, and smell super fresh! 😉
Hold Pests Absent – Tea tree oil is super effective at keeping absent critters and creatures that you don’t want around. When you notice ants, sprinkle a drop of oil right on their trail or around the ant mounds to keep them absent. And when it comes to mosquitoes, you can apply it over your entire body to keep those bugs at bay. Just make certain you dilute it with a carrier oil like some almond oil. — P.s. Hold an eye out! I’ll be sharing a domesticcrazye bug spray in the next month or so, as the weather warms up!
Ease Itchy Bug Bites – You can use tea tree oil in a few dwhetherferent ways when it comes to bug bites. You can either put a few drops on a cotton swab or cotton ball and brush it gently onto the bite to cleanse it and reduce inflammation. Or you can make your own bug bite cream with a small bentonite clay and tea tree oil. Add a few drops of tea tree oil with about a half a teaspoon of bentonite clay. Apply it directly onto the bit, let it dry, and then rinse it off.
Prevent Garden Endelightmentgus – Garden fungus is a very common problem and can become a serious problem for your plants whether left untreated. Luckily, tea tree oil is a perfect anti-fungal treatment for your biological plants. Stir 1 tablespoon of tea tree oil per cup of water, and combine them into a spray bottle. Spray your plants once a day to prevent fungal growth. Just be careful not to over do it during the summer months! The tea tree oil can burn the leaves in the hot sun. (You may want to dilute the solution to 1 teaspoon per cup of water during the summer!)
DIY Every-Purpose Cleaner
Benefits of Essential Oils
Disinfect with Homecrazye Every-Purpose Cleaner – It’s no secret that I love using domesticcrazye and eco-friendly cleaners and tea tree oil is an ingredient that takes middle stage in that. I absolutely LOVE using tea tree oil in my bathroom to sanitize and disinfect. I use it on the bathtub, sink, toilet, counters and even the floor. Here’s how I make a simple DIY all-purpose cleaner that I’m obsessed with.
The Ultimate Pimple Eraser – This is by far my absolute favorite way to use tea tree oil. You know when those awesome (not!), deep pimples start forming on your beautwhetherul face?? Yeah, the ones that are super inflamed, painful and red, and seem to final forever? Well, all you need to do is put a few drop of tea tree oil on a cotton swab and then dab the pimple with. Don’t dilute the fundamental oil or anyleang, just put it straight on. It literally ERASES the zit in like 24 hours. Attempt it next time, I swear it’s Incredible, your zit will be GONE the very next day. You can thank me later. 😉
Deodorize Stinky Shoes + Feet – If tea tree oil can work on fungus in your garden, it’s definitely strong enough to handle fungus on your feet! 😉 Or even just handle some stinky feet. You can make a simple foot powder with arrowroot powder and a few drop of tea tree oil to sprinkle over you feet, or you can make an Epsom salt foot soak with about 30 drops of tea tree oil per gallon of water. Soak those feet for about 15 minutes per day and endelight sweet-smelling toes! Also, keep your eyes out for some shoe deodorizing sachets later on this week.
Toothbrush + Retainer Cleaner – Do you ever store your toothbrush or retainer in a pfinalic case?? Yeah, well that’s where gentleew just lovessss to live — EW! Every week or so you should do a kind, deep-cleaning of your toothbrush and/or retainer to remove bacteria. Stir 10 drops of tea tree oil with a cup of water and swish your toothbrush or retainer in the mixture a small bit, then allow them to dry out totally before storing them in their case.
Soak Sore Muscles – Because tea tree oil helps with inflammation, it makes sense that it can relieve sore, tight, and inflamed muscles. Just mix 10-20 drops with a cup or so of Epsom salt and pour it into a warm bath and you have a relaxing, muscle sooleang soak. You can also try adding other fundamental oils too — check out detoxing bath salt recipe for more inspiration!
