Insect Repellent
Tea Tree Oil Insect Repellent To Repel Insects And Parasites,
And Also To Soothe A Bite Or Sting!
Tea Tree Oil is also know for soothing pain and itching of a wasp or bee sting. Ever had an mosquito or insect bite drive you buggy with the itching? Let me share a few tips on using tea tree oil as a repellent for insects to help keep them away next time. The analgesic qualities together with its powerful solvent action (dissipating the venom) is what makes it so effective. Ask where to
find pure Tea Tree Oil
Here is my personal little recipe for soothing bites and stings...
Apply pure Tea Tree Oil directly
to the bite or sting several times a day
with a Q-tip or cotton swab stick.
It will soothe the itching and
will leave you in a state of comfort
The solvent properties of Tea Tree Oil help to penetrate the hard outer shell, or exoskeleton, of the insect and smother it. This being the case... It is an effective insecticide -- insect repellent, while the Terpenes that are present in the tea tree oil act as an bug repellent.
Tea Tree has been used for a number of years by doctors for the safe removal of parasites. With the growing concern over the safety of prescription lotions, it was refreshing to actually hear qualified doctors give their approval. A well-known physician and medical author, Dr. Andrew Weil, recommends the use of Tea Tree Oils for the treatment of head lice.

Organic Tea Tree Oil
|
Organic Tea Tree oil, harder to find, and more costly because it is produced in more labor intensive and lower yield plantations, can be used the same way as other fine quality tea tree oil.
Growing up in Laguna Beach, the hippies used to always say "Don't Panic, It's Organic". Great advice in a world full of GMO's (genetically modified organisms)
A product cannot carry the organic seal unless it's certified GMO free.
You can buy Organic Tea Tree Oil here, or search for your favorite brand on Amazon.Com
I highly recommend the products from Natures Sunshine Products, and that's part of the reason I am an independent distributor of their products.
You'll find references and links to the Natures Sunshine Products throughout the Tea Tree Wonders website.
Thank you in advance for any purchases you make, or for becoming a Natures Sunshine Distributor yourself (you save up to 40% on purchases as a distributor)
