It’s an era of specialisation!
You name a field and you would find that specialists are in high demand there. Be it technology, medicine, finance or for that matter any other subject, today specialists always get preferential treatment over generalists.
But do you know that in this era of specialisation, there is something which is considered an all-rounder and gets preferred over most specialists?
Have you heard about Tea Tree Oil? No? Then read on.
Tea Tree oil is Mother Nature’s all-rounder which finds applications on multiple occasions in our everyday life. It is even considered at par or sometimes even better than man made specialists. Here are the roles this all-rounder can perform in our daily lives:
- Hand sanitizer
Studies show that Tea Tree oil kills common pathogens that cause common diseases like E. Coli, S. Pneumoniae and H. Influenza. You can dilute it with water or can even add it to your existing hand wash to get a powerful hand sanitizer that is perfectly natural and eco-friendly too!
- Insect repellent
Be it keeping away ants, mosquitoes or common house flies, Tea Tree oil is an excellent natural insect repellent. Its pungent smell is abhorred by most common insects that dare not come near it, but humans do not feel its pungency at all. And the best part, long-term exposure to it does not have any side effects, unlike commercial insect repellents.
- Natural deodorant
If you perspire a lot, then you must be a heavy deodorant user. But, for a change, try using diluted Tea Tree oil instead of your usual synthetic deodorant. You would be amazed by the results. Not only does it smell great, it even does not cause any irritation or leave rashes on your underarms!
- General antiseptic
No matter how cautious one is, one cannot protect against getting minor cuts or bruises. So the next time you have one, instead of waiting for an antiseptic, try applying diluted Tea Tree oil. It does the same job as your synthetic antiseptic and protects the wound from any infections.
- Acne fighter
In an era when bacteria are becoming resistant to certain chemicals, those who suffer from acne should explore Tea Tree oil. So the next time you discover that you are under an acne attack, simply use a diluted mixture of Tea Tree Oil with water and apply it over the affected area with a cotton swab. You will start seeing the results pretty soon!
- Natural mouthwash
If you suffer from oral bad breath or are suffering from gingivitis, then you would be using synthetic mouthwashes. Instead, use a diluted solution of Tea Tree oil and water and gargle with it to see the difference. Not only will your breath smell fresh, but you will see a reduction in gingivitis inflammation too!
- Dandruff controller
Dandruff is the bane of our modern lifestyle. Stress, incorrect dietary habits, lack of exercise etc. are to be blamed for repeated dandruff episodes. So the next time you feel itchy in your mane and spot dandruff on your shoulders, add a couple of drops of Tea Tree Oil to your usual shampoo and apply it as usual. You would be surprised by the results!
- Mould remover for fruits and vegetables
No matter how hard you try, you cannot eliminate mould from fresh fruits and vegetables, especially in warm, humid climates like ours. Mould is a typical fungus that grows on fresh produce. But it can be controlled by rinsing fresh fruits and vegetables by adding a couple of drops of Tea Tree Oil and letting them dry completely before storing or serving. Not only will the produce last fresh longer, but will also be mould-free!
- Psoriasis reliever
Psoriasis is a chronic condition where the skin turns red, becomes itchy and sometimes even bleeds. While there is no known solution to manage Psoriasis, diluted Tea Tree Oil may offer some relief. Being anti-inflammatory in nature, Tea Tree oil when diluted with coconut oil, acts as a perfect soothing agent for Psoriasis infected skin.
Mother Nature’s all-rounder was known to aborigines of Australia before Captain James Cook introduced it to the rest of the world. Since then, Tea Tree Oil has always come to our rescue in some form or the other and continues to do its job right even today! So the next time you step out to buy chemical deodorants, mouthwashes, cleaners or anti-inflammatory solutions, consider replacing them with a single bottle of Tea Tree oil.
Trust us, you will not regret it!
