Wonder what everyone here thinks about tea tree oil. It's been a must carry with me for a long time especially when I travel.

I have used it on exaggerated CLL mosquito bites, with some effect, but for most part, I found the product Afterbite, to be faster and better.. but Afterbite stings like crazy on black fly and deer fly bites, mostly ammonia and a pinch of baking soda.

I have never had a need for the oil's other used...😃

We use it at work to make Natural Mouthwash among other things and IMHP its just a nicer sounding word for turpentine

" The bad news about tea tree oil is that it stinks! It comes from a tree resin that is related to the oil used to make turpentine"

I've used it for years as a must have.I have healed many nasty cuts with tea tree oil as well as a toenail fungus just by putting a few drops under the toenail at night-pretty amazing stuff as are many other essential oils.

Yeah tea tree oil is a bit pongy.. but it’s a very good antiseptic. I use it on foot problems too funguses etc. we use eucalyptus oil too here in oz.
