Tea tree oil in your life


I've been using essential oils for years now and I am always amazed when I find a new use for them. These days you can find tea tree oil everywhere. Online is the easiest way to get it. Normally I go for a pack of oils with tea tree in it and other main oils I use a lot. 

What is tea tree oil go for?

Antibacterial
Anti-inflammatory
Antifungal
Antiviral

How do I use tea tree every day? 

  • Acne- I have a Chinese crested dog that is hairless. He is prone to acne. We are using tea tee oil for this. I put 8oz of witch hazel (good for acne and skin) with 10 drops of tea tree oil, lavender oil (good for acne, skin, and anxiety), and frankincense oil (good for skin and anxiety) in a jar. I'm washing him down with it 2 times a day. You can totally use this on you as well. 
  • Athlete's foot- you can put a little coconut oil or other carrier oil in your hand with a few drops tea tree oil. Rub on foot. Or you can add it in a foot soak with warm water and Epsom salt. 
  • Cleaner- in a spray bottle put 20 drops re tree oil, 1 cup vinegar, the rest water and other oils if wanted. This is also good to spray down the couch and beds during cold and flu season. 
  • Dandruff - put 10 drops in your shampoo bottle.
  • Head lice- add 20 drops to a jar of melted coconut oil. Mix and apply to all hair and scalp. Put on a shower cap for an hour. Wash out. Comb hair with lice comb. Repeat if live ones are found. 
  • Oral health- if you have cavities that bug you put a drop on you toothbush. If you have abscess teeth put a drop on tooth brush and a few drops in water for mouth wash. 
  • Warts- just found this one out the other day. Put a few drops on a cotton ball and tape in place at night. Do this every night until its gone. 
  • Wound dressing- place few drops on a bandaid to ease inflammation and kill bacteria

Small victory for mom

Yesterday after getting the kids to school I called the school to discuss them giving my kid with food allergies chart in his file school lunch. I don't have him signed up for it, he brings his own lunch, and they want to charge me $2 something. Needless to say I was beyond upset. I took my CBD and made the call. I had to leave a message.  I braced myself for more crazy as the phone rang and it was the kid's school. This week has been nuts with Tuesday being the only good day my son had. "WTF now" I said right before answering.  It was a lady about the school lunches. She tells me we can put a block on him getting the school lunches. I just have to write a note to the school board. Thank you. Now we can maybe get these behaviors under control.  Now maybe we can get these behaviors under control!

This last week with my oldest has tested me to my limits. A little background: my oldest is 11 with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. This presents as anger. If this wasn't hard enough I have off and on depression and anxiety.  So my oldest has been refusing his CBD the last few weeks because he wants to go against what I say. P.S. once upon a time he was diagnosed with ODD. The diagnosis was only taken away because he was doing good on the CBD. It takes a lot of work for him to take the CBD these days. Sometimes he spits it out and some days he doesn't have it at all.  He has also decided he will be eating foods he is allergic to. This being milk, eggs, wheat, and peanuts. Halloween started this carp. For Halloween I normally get him candies he can have so after trick or treating he can trade. These food allergies are not life threatening, but do cause a lot of behaviors and the ODD behavior. Yay not! He didn't trade candies out and said he was going to give them t
