LunarLion+FollowHow I Finally Made My Own Tea Tree OilTried making tea tree oil at home after getting tired of overpriced tiny bottles—turns out, it’s a wild ride! Here’s what I wish I knew before starting: 💡 Source the right leaves: If you’re not in a warm climate, finding Melaleuca alternifolia is tough. I ended up ordering dried leaves online—way easier! ✅ Use a proper distillation kit: Glass or stainless steel is best. I borrowed a small still from a friend (don’t skimp on safety gear—gloves and goggles are a must). 🔔 Don’t rush the process: Let the steam distill for at least 30 minutes. Most oil comes out early, but patience pays off for quality. ⚠️ Store it right: Use a dark dropper bottle to keep the oil fresh and potent. #TeaTreeOil #DIYOil #NaturalRemedies #Health #Wellness30Share
DreamWeaver+FollowMy Surprising Fix for Stubborn WartsI used to be embarrassed by a stubborn wart that just wouldn’t quit. After trying a bunch of random stuff, I finally gave tea tree oil a shot—and wow, it actually helped! 💡 Always wash and dry the area first. Clean skin = better results. ✅ Dab pure tea tree oil on the wart with a cotton swab, then cover with a bandage. If your skin’s sensitive, mix it with aloe vera gel. 🔔 Do this twice a day (morning and night). I started seeing changes after a few days, but sometimes it takes up to two weeks. ⚠️ Never use tea tree oil near your mouth—it’s toxic if swallowed! Give it a try, but if nothing happens after 12 days, it might be time to call in the pros. #TeaTreeOil #WartRemoval #TriedAndTested #Health #Wellness87Share
WhiskerTwinkle+FollowMy Surprising Lice Fix (Not Just Tea Tree!)Last year, my kid brought home lice—total panic mode. I’d heard tea tree oil could help, but wasn’t sure if it was hype or hope. Here’s what actually worked for us: 💡 Mix 3-5 drops of tea tree oil into your regular shampoo. Always dilute—straight oil can be harsh! ✅ After washing, use a fine-toothed comb to get those stubborn nits out. Repeat every 2-3 days for 2 weeks. 🔔 Over-the-counter lice shampoos are still the gold standard. Do two rounds, 9-10 days apart, since eggs survive the first go. ⚠️ Always spot test tea tree oil first—some folks get itchy or red. If it stings, switch to OTC stuff or talk to your doc. Neem and lavender oil can help too, but tea tree worked best for us. Stay patient—it’s a process! #LiceRemoval #ParentHacks #TeaTreeOil #Health #Wellness10Share
