Tea Tree 100 Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil 30 ml
Tea tree oil has been used for years in traditional medicine and is very effective due to its ability to effectively fight against bacteria, fungi and viruses – a feat many other ingredients and chemicals cannot do alone. The use of tea tree oil has been the most significant in skincare. From troublesome skin conditions such as eczema and acne, to run of the mill cuts and bruises, tea tree oil is the ideal solution. When used to treat acne, tea tree oil reduces swelling, redness and scarring that commonly occur. This wonder oil even treats athletes foot. If you suffer from cold sores, a dab of tea tree oil to the area in the early stages prevents the cold sore from getting worse or spreading. Both men and women who shave or wax often can find relief by applying a few drops of tea tree oil to the area to reduce redness or swelling. Massaging the oil into the skin can even eliminate ingrown hairs. Tea Tree Oil can be used daily without causing an imbalance in the natural bacterial flora on the skin. It has been used by the Australian Aborigines since the beginning of time for acne, oily skin, rashes, various infections, fungal diseases, dandruff, and itchy scalp.
Aromadermatology Aromatherapy in the Treatment and Care of Common Skin Conditions
This book contains a foreword by Robert Tisserand and Angela Avis, Respectively, Aromatherapist and Senior Lecturer, School of Health Care, Oxford Brookes University. “We accurately extrapolate from scientific studies meaningful hypotheses that can be used to develop a host of effective treatment strategies for common dermatological conditions. Through the course of our work, we have encountered individuals seeking relief from the symptoms of many skin disorders and aroma dermatology is as much about offering an integrated, complementary approach, as it is about providing alternatives in cases where mainstream approaches have little to offer.” – Janetta Bensouilah and Philippa Buck, in the preface. ‘With the growing interest in aromatherapy, it is important that therapists and healthcare professionals are able to offer a valid rationale when integrating essential oils into clinical care. Sound knowledge of bio-chemical principles and the ability to critically appraise and apply relevant research are fundamental requirements. This book offers a comprehensive, in-depth view of current knowledge. The authors have skilfully woven research and clinical application. A range of therapeutic possibilities is explored and offers practitioners alternative approaches to the management of skin conditions. These include detailed discussions on different methods of application. I hope that this book will become a standard text on both pre-qualifying and CPD courses in aromatherapy.’ – Angela Avis, in her foreword.
To blend essential oils you would commonly blend only two oils together at any one time unless adding a base oil such as sweet almond to apply the mixture in massage for example. To blend the essential oils appropriately there are many things to consider including the fragrance and healing properties of each individual oil and how they work together.
Cedarwood blends well with Cypress, Juniper and Rose but not all four of these essential oils should be blended together. Different blends can result in different healing and well being properties so choose your blends accordingly. Cedarwood itself is commonly used to treat skin conditions such as acne as well as respiratory conditions like bronchitis. However, Cypress is commonly used for circulatory problems and respiratory problems such as colds and flu. Therefore, we already know that Cedarwood and Cypress can be successfully mixed together without one fragrance overpowering the other but now we also know that mixing these two essential oils together will likely result in a mixture that proves effective for respiratory illnesses. We also know that Eucalyptus is a very powerful essential oil for respiratory conditions including asthma. However, we already know that Cedarwood and Eucalyptus do not make a good mix and the Eucalyptus is likely to overpower the Cedarwood and create a very pungent mixture.
Jasmine Jasminum Officinale
Jasmine has long been a favourite essential oil in China and India where Jasmine is used for a variety of aromatherapy applications including use as a perfume and flavouring herbal teas. In the sixteenth century Jasmine was brought to Europe, introduced by Persia.
Jasmine flowers are small, delicate and white and produce a honey-sweet aroma with a faintly fruity accent. Jasmine produces deep red oil despite its snow white flowers and has a potent and rich exotic floral fragrance. Jasmine is one of the most expensive essential oils you can obtain along with Rose Essences.
