ACNE

[YEA]  06/07/2007: Naomi (diving.into.faith@hotmail.com) from Kelowna, Canada writes: "Hello, I have greatly appreciated these comments and have started on the acv regimin and am not enjoying the taste. However I am waiting upon results. So far I am pleased with how gentle it was and how it didnt burn or anything. Anyway if you are looking for something that is lighter then Benzoyl Peroxide then go with TEA TREE OIL!!! I've been using it for over 4 months now and I can honestly say that it's improved my acne majorly. You know that itchy feeling like bacteria is crawling all over your face??? Well, try Tea Tree Oil, it fixes the problem on site!! Thanks again"

DERMATITIS

[YEA]  04/21/2008: Shannon from Stillwater, OK writes: "I have been battling perioral dermatitis for about 6 months. I went to a dermatologist and was put on minocycline, which did clear it up. After 3 months of taking the medication, my doctor put me on doxycycline, due to concerns about negative side effects of long term use of minocycline. I could not tolerate the doxycycline, it made me nauseous and just made me feel weird, so I quit taking it and decided to look for a natural treatment. I found this website and began using a combination of remedies. I began taking pro-biotics, and evening primrose oil. I began washing my face with apple cider vinegar and baking soda. I also used evening primrose oil topically on the area of dermatitis. It seemed to be ok, until I got a cold. The area of dermatitis is around my nose, and blowing my nose constantly while I had the cold irritated it. The dermatitis began to spread.

I found a post somewhere about using tea tree oil. I had an old jar of Desert Essence Tea Tree ointment, so I began using it. I have used it for 4 days now, keeping the area covered constantly with the ointment, and the dermatitis is almost gone! It looks as good as it did when I was on minocycline. I think the probiotics and evening primrose capsules that I am taking may be helping too, but the tea tree oil was my "magic bullet." I have noticed that when I drink alcohol, the area becomes more inflamed. I'm not sure if this is due to dehydration, or the destruction of healthy bacteria in the intestinal tract.

I want to mention too that I have been under a great amount of stress, trying to finish grad school,and the dermatitis appeared during this time. I really believe stress and unhealthy eating habits/drinking alcohol contributed to the problem.

JOCK ITCH

I got some relief from colloidal silver applied topically. I did that for a couple of days and it was helping. Then I mixed some colloidal silver and some tea tree oil with some aloe vera gel, and applied that, it was way too strong, but even though it had a warm sensation and I wanted to rinse most of it off right away it gave immediate and lasting relief from the itching. The next day I took some of the too-strong mixture and diluted it in some unscented lotion (Nature's Gate brand, very mild). I have been using that for a couple of days after showering and it is amazing how effective it is. No more itching and everything is healing nicely. Worked great. Hope this helps someone, I sure love this web site, trying to tell others about it too. Thanks!"

ROSACEA

[YEA]  08/15/2007: Jessie from Houma, Louisiana writes: "I read a suggestion about using tea tree oil to help with rosacea, so I tried it. I'd used it occasionally for pimples, but I had never tried putting it all over my face. It worked like a charm! I still have a little redness which can't be helped because of the summer heat, but I haven't had any break-outs and my face looks much better than it did using the expensive creams."

[YEA]  05/28/2007: Caroline (CarolineThompson@sbcglobal.net) from Keller, Texas writes: "I am shocked and amazed after thousands of dollars spent on TCA peels, medicated creams and Dr. prescribed Retin A etc,.that I find Tea Tree oil to be an overnight wonder (Literally) for the treatment of my Rosacea. All my redness was gone after 2 nights of applying the oil directly all over my face. Acne and redness is completely gone!! This stuff is awesome! Got mine at Sprouts health food store. I highly recommend to anyone suffering from acne or acne rosacea."

SKIN TAGS

[YEA]  07/12/2007: N.M.T. from Somewhere hot, Florida USA writes: "Just wanted to note that I had a skin tag in my armpit for about two years and decided to put tea tree oil on it. I moderated soaked a cotton ball and did it two days in a row. The second day it turned black and a bit later with some coaxing, it fell off. That same week another popped up on my abdomen and I repeated the procedure and got the same exact results. There are no marks left behind, nothing!"

TEA TREE OIL FEEDBACK

[YEA]  07/15/2008: Sandie (Praterkdz@aol.com) from Choctaw, Oklahoma writes: "I find that Tea Tree Oil is great for melting away WARTS ! I tried every cure from freezing to duct tape to cut it off with clippers. It always returned. I then tried Tea Tree oil. Would apply with qtip several times a day. I tried to put a bandaid on with the oil, but the oil would just melt the adheshive. In two weeks my wart was gone and never came back. Since then I have tried it on several relatives with the same great result. I am now trying on my sons acne and it seems to be working with no side effects or scaring."

[YEA]  04/08/2007: Anna Maria from Guilford, CT writes: "Tea Tree Oil has helped me time and time again! I first tried it when I got my ear pierced and developed an infection that just wouldn't go away - nothing worked until someone suggested tea tree oil. It worked over night! I also use it for acne (just dab on with cotton swab) and any cuts, scraps or abrasions. It cuts healing time in half! My latest use was for an abcessed tooth that was opened by my dentist to drain the infection...a few days went by and it wasn't draining so I soaked a cotton swab in tea tree oil and held it on the infect tooth and gum. Woke up this morning and the swelling and pain is nearly gone. Just amazing stuff that has some many uses - I love it."

[YEA]  04/03/2007: Heather from Santa Clara, CA writes: "Starting when i was very young i would get terrible athletes foot, so bad i could barely walk. I found out that all the messy creams help for short term, but it comes back. My mom heard about tea tree oil, which dries out your skin, and it cleared it up within a week. every once in a while i use it even when i don't have athletes foot just to make sure i don't get it again. it also clears up pimples you dilute about 1 drop with 2 of water, you have to dilute it if you use it on your face and a little bit really goes a long way."

[YEA]  01/28/2007: Xavier from Phoenix, AZ writes: "Tea tree oil as i found out is a natural antiseptic for all sorts of things. I found out I had gingivitis and i need help with it because my gums would bleed like crazy. Well i Went to Sprouts one day and found a all natural antiseptic called Tea Tree Oil. it came in about a 10 dollar bottle. All you have to do is dab the infected area and by 3 days symptoms of gingivitis should clear up and you will no longer suffer from bleeding gums. NOTE* alot of stores these days say they sell all natural products which is a lie. The best place to find these items at is a Farmers market or a health food store."
