Where is a good place to buy Tea Tree Oil?
My son have egzma and somebody suggest tea tree oil-I hope Im spelling it right. Is it expensive?
Answer: Depending on your son's age this could be really bad advice. Do not use any essential oil - including Tea Tree Oil - on or around pregnant women, babies and young children up to 6 or 7 years.
Use Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) instead. It has matching properties and is much safer to use as it is not an essential oil and does not affect the nervous system or the hormonal system similar to essential oils. Good GSE has 33% extract contained by plant glycerine.
Dilute 20 drops of GSE in an eggcup of olive oil f. ex. and mop the affected area beside cotton wool dipped in the oil 2 or 3 times a hours of daylight until all has disappeared.
Wishing you and your son adjectives the best!.
Tea tree oil comes in a extremely small dropper type glass jar...it is not cheap but goes a long long method. You can find it in the vitamin supplement area at Walmart,Walgreens[near lotions,acne stuff] or any Health store. Tea tree grease has many uses, it is strong, odor is strong too, if your son is youthful, try to be caustious that he does not get it into his eyes or mucous membranes[lips,mouthetc]. You may also want to check out some of the Aveeno products which work quite in good health & possibly speak with your local pharmacist, they can advise & be remarkably helpful! Take care~ It is a little pricey (I found it for $10 for a one fl. oz. bottle), but for a time does go a very long opening. I found it at H-E-B, though I understand it's a very regionally-restricted fasten.
I don't know anything about using it with children, but it help tremendously to clear up an infection after I had my cartilage pierced. As a sidenote, while the scent is very strong, it isn't necessarily unpleasant!.
