Highly Effective Brand
This is the best tea tree oil (Melaleuca) product that I have ever used and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to try it!<br /><br />I have lupus and it primarily affects my skin. I have been trying various essential oils and recipes to address my skin problems in a natural way because I do not like using steroid creams. After reading up on how good tea tree oil is for use as a first aid product, acne treatment and eczema treatment, I started using the oils at my local shopping center. The products there were okay, but I did not find the high level of success that others had documented so I started experimenting with the different brands of essential oils. By far, the New York Biology brand has been the best product that I have tried to date.<br /><br />The first thing to note is that it smells stronger than most other brands I have tried. Tea tree oil has a very unique smell that is difficult to describe and not everyone will like it. It has a spicy, medicinal tone that I do like so it does not bother me. Because this product is so strong, as soon as I opened the bottle and took a sniff, it opened up my sinuses! Big plus! The good thing is that the scent can be adjusted by diluting the tea tree oil if you find the scent not to your liking.  I also liked that this product has a dropper that allows me to be very accurate with the placement of the product when used alone or when mixing it with other products.  Usually, it is suggested that you need to use a specific number of drops for various purposes and it is difficult to get the mixes exactly right when you do not use a dropper.<br /><br />Next, the uses of tea tree oil are many. I have read several books and websites to discover which uses I was most interested in trying. I first tried it as aromatherapy using my diffuser. That worked great as a way to freshen the air. Then I used it in my vaporizer to help with congestion and stuffy sinuses and it decreased the amount of time it took for me to feel relief to about 10 minutes. I read that it could be used to keep cuticles healthy so I tried that this time and it did work. I developed a small pimple during the time I was testing the oil and so I was able to apply it at night before I went to sleep and when I woke up the pimple was gone. (Please note that it is recommended that you perform a skin test to determine if you can use the oil directly on your skin or if you need to mix it with a carrier oil. I do not mix mine unless I have a specific recipe that requires mixing.) I got a paper cut while going through my mail so I tried the tea tree oil on that and it quickly took away the stinging. I used the oil in my bath and it did help relax my muscles, but I found that if I combined tea tree oil, epsom salt and lavender in a really warm bath, I got the biggest bang for my buck: Open sinuses, relaxed muscles and calmed mind!<br /><br />Finally, I thought that it was an interesting fun fact that it is believed that the Aborigines of Australia have been using this product for centuries and the New York Biology brand specifies that its product originates in Australia on the bottle. They know what their doing and it shows in this high quality product. They offer a money back guarantee that you will love their product, or they will provide you with a refund.<br /><br />I was provided with a free sample to test and critique. #NewYorkBiology
