Tea Tree Oil has been in my life for a few years now, and during that time I was able to learn,and discover Tea Tree Oil recipes, and also through many resources the benefits of pure tea tree oil.
I calculated the differences between what I was normally using. For example, the antiseptic medicine I was using, it had so many ingredients that did nothing. I didn't know what half of them were, and I couldn't pronounce most of them.
In the end they usually had no real effects on my symptoms, and I was paying more. So I proceeded to wade knee deep into finding more ways that tea tree oil could benefit myself, my family and others.
Here are a few tea
tree oil recipes that I have used, and have
gotten great results.
You can find the recipe for making your own tea tree oil
salve. Some folks also call it tea
tree oil ointment
In some studies using a 5% solution of tea tree oil significantly reduced dandruff and test subjects with mild to moderate cases of dandruff. The results were based on a four week study typically. You can make your own 5% solution of tea tree oil to use on a daily basis, using a simple formula.
For each 32 ounces of shampoo use 1 teaspoon of tea tree oil
For each 100 mL of shampoo use one tea spoon of tea tree oil
A rough formula for getting the approximate amount of tea tree oil per milliliter of shampoo is to divide the number of milliliters by two and add the results in drops to the shampoo. For instance, if you have 100 mL of shampoo, divided by two, the result is 50 mL. You would add about 50 drops of tea tree oil to create a roughly 5% solution. There are about 60 drops of tea tree oil per teaspoon, so you can see that this will give you a close approximation.
This is one of those tea tree oil recipes that are handy for when children have an outbreak of head lice also. It may help ward off the lice and possibly prevent re-infection.
