Take Care Tuesday: Tea Tree

As you may have already guessed based on the smell of Tea Tree oil, its not really one that you would want to drink or cook with. But don’t worry, I won’t leave you guys hanging on recipes today. Instead of doing Tasty Tuesday, we are going to mix things up and do a “Take Care Tuesday” instead. Because Tea Tree is so great at helping to support the immune system and is an anti-fungal, anti-septic, it is really great to use in first aid and in aiding to prevent colds and flus! So lets get to it!

Cold and Flu Bomb

Ingredients:

  • 5 drops doTERRA OnGuard
  • 5 drops doTERRA Tea Tree oil
  • 3 drops doTERRA Oregano oil
  • Veggie capsule

Instructions:

  1. Place drops into the veggie capsule.
  2. Swallow.
  3. Repeat 2-3 times a day, until cold and flu symptoms go away.

Skin Wound Antiseptic:

Ingredients:

  • 6 drops doTERRA lavender oil
  • 5 drops doTERRA tea tree oil
  • 2 drops doTERRA roman chamomile oil
  • 1 ounce natural aloe vera gel

  2. Apply to affected area/ cut using a cotton swab.
  3. Rub on as needed.

Finally, this one is really great for kids when they get cuts and scrapes.

Ouchie Remedy
