The Tea Tree is a small tree or shrub with needle-like leaves. It is also domestically referred to as Ti-tree. It can grow up to 7 meters (20 feet) in height and thrives in marshy areas, though it is now cultivated in plantations. The Tea Tree is very robust; it is ready for cutting only two years after its’ previous harvest.Acne
One of the most well known uses of tea tree oil is in acne treatment. In fact, a five percent solution of tea tree oil has been shown to be as effective as a five percent solution of the common acne treatment product known as benzoyl peroxide, according to the Mayo Clinic. Tea tree oil works on acne by reducing the population of the acne-related bacteria Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). P. acnes is partially responsible for the inflammation and infection that results in more serious forms of inflammatory acne.
Dandruff
Dandruff is another skin condition that can benefit from the use of tea tree oil. One common possible cause of dandruff is the overgrowth of a fungus known as malassezia. Malassezia is commonly found on the skin of your scalp, but causes dandruff problems if it is able to grow out of control. Tea tree oil can be used to reduce population of the fungus, resulting in dandruff relief.
Parasitic Skin Infestations
Tea tree oil may also be used as a natural treatment for skin infestations such as lice, scabies and bedbugs, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Tea tree oil is used to kill the parasites, relieving skin irritation from the infestation.
Inflammation
When your skin comes in contact with allergens, your body may respond by activating histamine, which causes the skin to become inflamed. Tea tree oil may be used to reduce this inflammation, but more research is needed to confirm the full benefits of the oil, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Athlete's Foot
Athlete's foot may also benefit from the use of tea tree oil. Athlete's foot is a common fungal-based skin problem that can cause severe itching and burning sensations on the affected area. Tea tree oil works on athlete's foot by killing the fungi associated with the infection.

Clove bud is definitely one of the most useful oils to have around the house. For over 2,000 years, the clove tree has been cultivated for a variety of uses. While native to Indonesia, cloves are used across the world for medicinal and herbal purposes. Cloves play a vital role in Indian Ayurvedic medicine and Chinese medicine, as they have a numbing effect on oral tissue. Additionally, they are used in Asian, African, and Middle Eastern cooking to add flavor to dishes.
Clove oil uses include digestive support and antioxidant support. Traditional Chinese Medicine used clove for digestive and respiratory support.
Clove oil uses have historically included all things dental. It's principal constituent eugenol, is used in the dental industry to numb the gums.
While clove bud oil has many useful properties, it is perhaps best known for its association with dental practices. For a tried and true toothache relief, add a few drops of the oil to a cotton swab before applying topically to the gums for a much needed respite. The oil is also great if you have had any dental work recently done, as it can be used to soothe the condition known as “dry socket,” a postoperative complication of tooth extraction, by numbing the affected area and helping to preventing any further irritation. Additionally, clove bud can be used to counteract mouth and throat irritation and pain when applied directly to the skin.
Thanks to its stimulating and warming properties, clove bud can be used in aromatherapy to aid with digestive problems. By topically applying the diluted oil to your stomach or abdomen, one can warm up and stimulate the digestive tract. Add a drop of clove bud oil to your choice of herbal tea to help relieve nausea.
The oil can be further used externally to help alleviate muscular aches and sprains. For respiratory problems, the disinfecting properties of clove bud are most useful when used in vapor therapy. To help relieve muscle aches and pains, including those caused by arthritis, mix eight drops of clove oil into two ounces of carrier oil, such as jojoba or almond, and massage onto the affected area.
Usage Tips & Recipes
Toothache: Add a couple drops to a cotton swab and rub onto toothache or instant relief. This helps kill infection-causing bacteria.
Digestive Aid: Add a drop to herbal tea to help relieve nausea.
Muscle Ache: Mix eight drops of clove oil in two ounces of carrier oil (try jojoba or almond) and massage onto affected area.Under Eye Puffiness: Add one drop to your eye cream and apply sparingly in the morning. Clove bud oil promotes blood circulation, helping to reduce the puffiness.

Any type of skin can benefit from this oil, although it is particularly good for dry, irritated or sensitive skin. It regulates oiliness and minimizes enlarged pores.

Other properties include being antidepressant, antiseptic, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, carminative, cordial, deodorant, digestive, stimulant (nervous) and tonic (cardiac, circulatory).
Neroli essential oil or orange blossom oil supports the digestive system and nervous system. Known for its healing effects on the mind, body and spirit it is a highly regarded oil used in Ancient Egypt.
It is produced from the orange blossom flower. When using this oil one feels very present. It takes about 1000 pounds of orange blossom flower to make 1 pound of Neroli oil.
Although the use of Neroli and orange blossoms go back to Ancient Egypt, the word Neroli was taken from a French born Italian princess, Anne-Marie de la Tremoille who was the Countess of Nerola. She introduced the oil in 1670 and used it for perfume and cologne.
Neroli essential oil is all about staying in the present moment and not reminiscing of the past; or even worrying about the future. For us to manifest what we want we must be completely in our power and be present energetically in the moment.
Interesting that panic and fear, are produced when we separate our mind and body. This is because we are literally in two different places. Neroli brings us back to one plane quickly and provides protection as well.
Neroli essential oil has been used for thousands of years to accelerate self-actualization by keeping us in the present, and gathering many of our scattered parts in the different etheric levels. It opens the heart and releases emotions of powerless and self imposed restriction.

Our organically crafted Melissa Essential Oil also commonly known as Lemon Balm Essential Oil, is steam distilled from the wonderfully fragrant flowers and leaves of the perennial Melissa officinalis herb nurtured in the Bulgarian countryside. Melissa Oil is considered one of the most powerfully medicinal essential oils in all of aromatherapy, with a a bright, lemony, herbaceous aroma that most individuals find very pleasant and uplifting.

A luscious herb with a sweet aroma, Melissa has serrated leaves and petite white and pink flowers. Both the flowers and the leaves are put through a steam distillation method to extract and capture the essential oil. An exceptionally low yield (about 0.05%) makes Melissa (Lemon Balm) Oil a very costly oil and one that is commonly adulterated with inexpensive oils like Lemongrass, Citronella and Litsea Cubeba. Known by many to be a true aromatic elixir, Melissa's unassuming power makes it a vital component of any essential oil pharmacy.

It is our top choice when looking to lessen the longevity and impact of unwanted cold sores. Melissa Essential Oil is among the most potent of all natural essential oils for enhancing deep wellness during the challenging winter months. Within skin care applications, it is a lovely oil for supporting healthy, vibrant skin and for soothing irritated skin.
