Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil Review
If you're not familiar with tea tree oil, you should definitely look into it. Tea tree oil is an essential oil that is derived from the leaves of Melaleuca tree in Australia.
I recently got the opportunity to try out Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil. I've heard of tea tree oil before, but didn't know too much about it. I thought that the only use for tea tree oil was for acne issues. I was wrong! I found out about the many different uses it has, and I was amazed at what I found out.
Apothecary Extracts sent me an e-book with 50+ uses for the tea tree oil, along with a little recipe to create new things. The e-book was very helpful. I learned that not only can you use tea tree oil for fighting acne, but you can also use it for toe fungus, lice, skin tags, dandruff, ringworm, eczema, and so much more.
You can even use tea tree oil to make your own shampoo, lotion, body wash, and toothpaste. That isn't all tea tree oil can do. You can use it to make all natural household cleaners! Which I think is pretty great, especially when I've got a little one and a cat.
I've tried the tea tree oil on three things so far. First I tried it for my acne, and I can definitely tell a difference. My acne isn't completely gone, but it's definitely not as bad as it was. The second thing I tried it on was my eczema. I didn't have eczema until two years ago, and it comes and goes as it pleases. I had a spot on my arm that had been terribly itchy for at least two weeks, and nothing was helping it. Not even my prescription cream. So I decided what the heck, the tea tree oil can't make it any worse. I put it on once a day and it slowly started to go away. I do have a little scar from itchy, but the red bumpy skin is gone! I've also tried it in my shampoo. I just mixed a drop into my regular shampoo and washed my hair. My scalp hasn't been nearly as itchy, and the tea tree oil makes it feel minty fresh.
I plan on trying the all natural cleaners with it soon!
I've only got one complaint about the tea tree oil, and that would be how strong the scent is. It's not a scent that I enjoy, but I've gotten use to it.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

I like to use tea tree for skin blemishes. I have an allergy to chemicals in shampoos lotions and body washes, so natural products are better for me. I haven't thought bout using it in a DIY shampoo though. Normally they are really expensive so I might try this. Thanks for the idea.
