Tea Tree
Tea Tree
Tea tree oil uses are numerous: making homemade cleaning products, diffusing it in the air to kill mold, applying it topically to heal skin issues and using it to treat viral infections. It’s becoming an increasingly popular active ingredient in a variety of household and cosmetic products, including face wash, shampoos, massage oils, skin and nail creams and laundry detergents. Tea tree’s natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory actions make it an essential oil that should truly be part of everyone’s natural medicine cabinet.

•Glass Cleaning Spray bottle
DIRECTIONS:
1. Fill spray bottle with ingredients. Close bottle and shake to mix.

DIY LICE PREVENTION SPRAY
Instead of buying the fancy lice prevention spray, I decided to buy pure tea tree oil, instead, and make my own.
How to make your spray:
•Use an eye dropper to drop 2-3 drops of pure tea tree oil (per ounce of liquid) in a spray bottle full of water or detangler
•Shake well
•Spray on hair, rub in with your hands to distribute evenly, and style as usual
That’s it! Since we were spraying water or detangler onto the kids’ hair every morning, anyway, this didn’t add a single second to our morning routine but probably saves us hours of heartache over an infestation. (Knock on wood)
