How to Use Tea Tree Essential Oil to Complement Holistic Health
Therapeutic grade essential oils such as the oils used in aromatherapy, natural soaps, massage oils and other complementary alternative therapies are produced to the highest standards. The result is pure 100% essential oils which can compliment a holistic lifestyle.
1. Choose the best tea tree oil available. Melaleuca alternifolia is the Australian variety of tea tree and considered by aroma therapist and holistic practitioners to be the highest quality tea tree. It can be purchased at most local health food stores. Wholesale essential oils can be found online at various sites and organic varieties may be available. This may be a more economical way of building your essential oil supplies. It's also important to choose good carrier oils as a base for your recopies such as jojoba oil or sweet almond oil. Grape seed oil is especially light, easily absorbed base oil.
2. Understand the properties and benefits of pure tea tree oil. Tea tree oil has many active ingredients including terpinenes, sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes which have antiviral and antibacterial effects that have been studied extensively. One such study by Paul Belaiche in "Treatise on Phytotherapy and Aromatherapy" involved thousands of test and clinical cases. Belaice concluded tea tree was effective on skin infections and urogenital tract infections. Tea tree oil is a skin essential. The benefits of tea tree oil have been studied extensively. Tea tree oil uses include benefits for skin ailments, respiratory disorders and as a component of natural cosmetics. Studies have shown tea tree oil to be effective against staph infections and the herpes virus. Other uses of tea tree oil include antifungal effects such as nail fungus, athlete's foot, and ringworm. Because natural essential oils can penetrate the skin they can be especially effective for hard to reach nail fungus. Tea tree oil can be used in shampoo to treat dandruff, lice and scabies and on minor cuts, burns and insect bites as an infection prevention aid.
3. Study the means of tea tree oil use. Tea tree oil can be used in a diffuser to clean the air. Because of its strong smell it may be best to combine it with other oils such as lavender and eucalyptus essential oils. It can also be added to shampoos, lotions, soaps, massage oils and witch hazel. Tea tree essential oil is considered safe to use "neat" or directly on the skin or can be added to bath water. It can be mixed with water and vinegar to make an antimicrobial household cleaner. Tea tree essential oil is an important part of a holistic lifestyle.
4. Remember to choose 100% essential oil and buy organic aromatherapy essential oils when possible. Therapeutic grade essential oils may cost a bit more but the cost is well worth it when considering the holistic approach to health.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
