GF loves Tea Tree Oil (1 Viewer)

[Cunk]

Wholly crap that stuff stinks. I'm not sure what she does with it. But she comes out of the bathroom smellin' like she just fell into a bucket of Pine Sol. Gave me an insta-headache this morning. Thanks for listening. You are good listeners.

Sneak some grape seed oil in her bottle instead. Does the same trick without the smell.

Thank me later.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_tree_oil

Tea tree oil or melaleuca oil is a clear to very pale golden yellow in colour hydrophobic essential oil with a fresh camphoraceous odor. It is taken from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia which is native to the northeast coast of New South Wales, Australia. Tea tree oil should not be confused with tea oil, the sweet seasoning and cooking oil from pressed seeds of the tea plant Camellia sinensis (beverage tea), or the tea oil plant Camellia oleifera.

Tea tree oil has beneficial medical properties when applied topically, including antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral action, and is also believed to have beneficial cosmetic properties. Tea tree oil is usually used diluted, as reactions are common with pure tea tree oil, but it can also cause irritation for some people when diluted. Tea tree oil is toxic when taken internally, and so should never be added to food or drinks.

Tea tree oil has strong activity against Staphylococcus aureus including MRSA.[1] When used at 5% concentration it has not been shown to cause drug resistance; however, some resistance occurs at lower concentrations such as 0.5%.[2]

Our school nurse told parents to buy it when lice was going around. G'luck.

When I pay the extra $1 at Supercuts to get the shampoo, I always make them use the Tea Tree.

I think they just open a bag of Lipton over your head then throw leaves in your face. It's not really Tea Tree oil.

Is this true, Fred?

No, they take a spray bottle with tea tree shampoo and water, spray it on a washcloth, throw it in a toaster oven and lay it on your face while you lean back in the shampoo chair thing and a twenty year old beauty school grad gives you a little face rub for a few minutes. Some of them really get into it, some not so much. But for a buck or two extra, I mean, come on.

At this juncture are they giving you the face rub or are they rubbing their own face. I've seen both.

Does she have lice?

I hope none of you are using tea tree oil straight up on your skin.... For skin application it should be diluted in a carrier oil like grapeseed, jojoba, coconut... TTO just plain ole stinks. And it takes forever for it to leave the room. I used to gag when an old roommate of mine would use it. I have a friend who swears by Manuka oil that it does the same thing and it smells better than TTO. I don't have derm issues so I haven't tried it myself.
