DIY Recipes with Melaleuca

Melaleuca Essential Oil

Melaleuca also known as tea tree oil has been used by the aboriginal people of Australia for centuries to cool, purify, and cleanse the skin. Its fabulous cleansing and purifying properties are beneficial for skin imperfections across the board, cleansing of emotional stress, as well as for cleaning your home too. Here are our top DIY recipes we use with one of our favorite oils.

Ear Discomfort

Roller includes:

5 drops Melaleuca/Tea tree
5 drops Basil
5 drops Lavender

Directions:

Roll it topically all over the ear, including the inside *Do not drop oils directly into ear canal.
Apply with pressure behind the ear and down your neck to move any fluid build up out of the ear canal.
To amp it up, you can layer with the oregano touch, or add 3 drops oregano to your ear roller. We like to use the layering effect. Apply ear roller then apply oregano touch on top.
For older children and adults, you can also apply 1 drop of each oil on a cotton ball and stick it inside the ear for as long as needed. Put a band aid on top to keep it in if needed. I like to do this at night when my kids are going to bed so they wont mess with it.

Spot Treatment

I like to tip the bottle upside down on my finger and then apply directly to any blemishes that pop up.
I also put 1 drop into my moisturizer and apply all over my face as a preventative measure.

Lice Preventative + Detangler

Put Dime size squirt of healthy hold glaze in palm of hand
Put 1 drop Melaleuca/Tea tree and 1 drop Lavender on top
Rub hands together, and apply to damp hair. Start at roots and work your way to tips.

We have also made this into a spray if you prefer that route.
