IS IT TOO STRONG?
It takes 100 tons of leaves to distill one ton of the clear slightly yellow pure `A' grade oil. It is a concentrated oil, and the temptation to use straight from the bottle may cause irritation if used a full strength on sensitive areas. The oil can be diluted many times its own volume - up to 200-1 and still be effective. Some people can use it straight on nasal tissue to clear sinuses, but a few drops should be mixed with a bland oil such as baby oil, olive oil or Aloe Vera jelly. As an inhalant add 5-10 drops to steaming hot water. Sprinkle on pillow or on to a handkerchief or tissue.
LAUNDRY ANTISEPTIC
5 to 7 MLS. To a wash load for babies nappies and other articles. As a douche 10 drops of pure Tea Tree Oil to ½ a litre of boiled water.
Ticks and leaches apply direct to the live tick and surrounding skin, and leave for 20 minutes. Add a teaspoonful to the bath water for yourself and the children.
Tea Tree Oil has been safely applied to burns. Flush the burn immediately, and if too sensitive to dab the oil on, then pour straight from the bottle.
PETS AND ANIMALS
Shampoos and "show coat" conditioners are available for animals. The Tea Tree component will minimise tick and flea problems as well as being useful for treatment of eczema, canker, mange, and other skin conditions.
REMEMBER IT IS STRONG--DILUTE THINLY IF IN DOUBT--KEEP OUT OF SUNLIGHT, STORE IN A COOL PLACE, AND KEEP BOTTLE CAPPED FOR PROLONGED STORAGE. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS.
