Keep four-legged members of your family pest-free, comfortable, happy, and, smelling fresh and clean.

Cat and dog

I hear all the time from people looking for alternatives to the standard chemical arsenal that is available to repel or control insects pests, including those that pounce on our pets. Synthetic insecticides don’t belong on the four-legged members of your family any more than they belong on your own skin. I’ve perfected herbal formulations so that dogs and cats no longer need to suffer skin and respiratory irritation from flea-and-tick powders and those liquid spot-on products.

The mildly aromatic recipes I’m sharing here combine insecticidal herbs and essential oils with food-grade diatomaceous earth (DE) and bentonite clay (BC), two mineral-rich substances that deliver a double-pronged deathblow to fleas and unattached ticks. They are powerful desiccants, due to the abrasive action of the silica on the parasite’s exoskeleton, and they also clog the insect’s breathing channels, leading to death within 24 to 72 hours.

These powders work remarkably well when applied regularly, once or twice per week, especially during the warmer months. No worries about your pets licking themselves, either — ingesting DE and BC will even add valuable minerals to their dietary intake, and the high silica content assists as a natural dewormer. Additionally, the powder acts as a deodorizer and dry shampoo, leaving your pet’s coat smelling fresh and clean.

The only equipment required is a bowl and whisk, and plastic, cardboard, metal, or glass application and storage containers. A good application container is a recycled herb or spice jar with a perforated lid.

A Couple Notes of Caution: Cats are particularly sensitive to essential oils, and care must be taken to avoid any risk of toxicity. Their acute sense of smell heightens their distaste for strong odors; their thin skin allows for rapid absorption of substances into the bloodstream; and most importantly, they lack the enzyme glucuronyl transferase, which aids in the metabolism of chemical constituents. When mixing these formulas for cats or for dogs under one year old, skip the essential oils altogether. 

Also note that these recipes were developed for dogs and cats. For use on animals other than dogs or cats, please seek the advice of an herbalist and/or aromatherapist with expertise in this area, or seek out a holistic veterinarian.

Natural Flea– and Tick–Control Powders for Dogs and Cats

Each of the recipes yields 2 cups of powder.

Important Note: Omit essential oils in powders made for cats and for dogs under one year old.

Ingredients

“Shoo, Flea, Don’t Bother Me” Powder
  • 1 cup food-grade diatomaceous earth
  • ½ cup bentonite clay powder
  • ¼ cup rosemary leaf powder
  • ¼ cup black walnut hull powder (Be aware that the black walnut hull powder can temporarily darken blond or white fur.)
  • 5 drops cedarwood essential oil (see note above)
  • 5 drops rosemary essential oil (see note above)
Bite Ban Flea & Tick Powder
  • 1½ cups food-grade diatomaceous earth
  • ¼ cup lemongrass powder
  • ¼ cup neem leaf powder
  • 10 drops lemongrass essential oil (see note above)
Bugs-Be-Gone Powder
  • 1 cup food-grade diatomaceous earth
  • ½ cup neem leaf powder
  • ½ cup lavender flower powder
  • 10 drops geranium essential oil (see note above)

Directions

  1. Combine the DE and/or BC with other dry ingredients specified in a medium bowl and gently whisk to blend.
  2. Add the essential oils (omit essential oils, if making powder for cats or for dogs under one year old), scattering the drops around the powder, and whisk again to combine.
  3. Loosely spoon the mixture into the container(s), then shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
  4. Label and date the powder. Allow the powder to synergize for 24 hours prior to use.
  5. Store at room temperature, away from heat and light; use within 1 year.

Application: To prevent making a dust cloud in your home, I suggest powdering both your indoor and outdoor pets outside, keeping them controlled with a comfortable harness and leash (this includes cats). Most pets will shake off much of the powder immediately after being treated, but if you’ve massaged it close to the skin, a sufficient amount should remain to do the job.

To ensure maximum effectiveness, sprinkle the powder evenly and uniformly from nose to tail, and as close to the skin as possible, massaging it in really well. Fleas and ticks will rush to any part of your pet that is dust-free, so address the entire face, ears, genitals, anus, and between the toes. When applying to the face, be extra careful not to get powder in the eyes, nose, or mouth, as it is irritating to mucous membranes. Repeat once or twice per week, as needed, to control fleas and ticks.

When treating mature pets under 5 pounds or young kittens and puppies, carefully apply very small amounts of powder to one section of the body at a time, massaging it into the skin very gently to minimize dust.

Tea Tree


Tea Tree

POSTED DECEMBER 17, 2021 BY ANN MARIE IN ALL ARTICLESBACKYARD PLANTSHOUSEHOLD REMEDIESPLANT OF THE WEEK6

Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) is a botanical tree highly valued for its oil used in traditional medicine. It is considered as a “medicine chest in a bottle” with its effective antiseptic property. Before they end up in the bottle for consumption, tea trees are just small trees or shrubs with a fluffy appearance and papery barks. The cream-colored flowers and soft linear leaves are the distinguishing characteristics of the tea tree. Processed Melaleuca oil plays an important role in the treatment of skin problems and respiratory symptoms.

Of the many tea tree species, the most popular among aromatherapists is the Melaleuca alternifolia, but not to be confused with Leptospermum scoparium. The former is an Australian variety of tea trees, while the latter is a New Zealand Manuka. Melaleuca leaves are the source of tea tree oils, while the manuka is valued for the honey sourced from its flowers. But while tea tree is effective against skin diseases and bacterial infection, raw and pure tea tree oil are toxic. It should be cultivated and processed properly and should be kept away from children’s reach.

Short History Of Tea Tree

Long before the invention of penicillin, tea tree was already recognized as a potent antibacterial solution in the form of tea.

The name tea tree came from the notion of brewing the leaves of the trees. The infusion was not only used for drinking but also in treating skin infections.

The medical community began to explore and experiment on the effective properties of the tea tree. Studies yield effective antibacterial and antifungal properties that are not caustic or burning for the skin. They became a staple and effective treatment when the foot-fungus became widespread in 1923.

Today, the tea tree is an ingredient not only for beauty and antimicrobial products. It is also marketed as an active ingredient in mouthwash, toothpaste, deodorants, and shampoo. Some cleaning and disinfectant like toilet products and handwash also contain tea tree properties.

Where The Plant Is Found

Tea Tree - Where to Find

Endemic to Australia, tea trees are abundant in the swampy areas and streams where they can get moist soil and full sun. It borders New South Wales and the coastal district of Queensland. Northern Australia hosts about 6.4 million hectares of its forest to different varieties of the Melaleuca.

Tea trees are also easy to grow in USDA hardiness zones 9 to 11. They may be grown indoors, though more tedious than the outdoors. However, they are preferred to be grown indoors when living in hardiness zones below 9 or 8.

Other countries like China, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Kenya also cultivate tea trees for commercial essential oil production.

How To Identify Tea Tree

Tea trees appear like low trees or high shrubs with a fluffy look. It is a member of the Myrtaceae family with many species. They may grow either as a high shrub or a low tree ranging from 4 to 7 meters tall, while some species can go as high as 35 meters. Aside from their essential oils, tea trees are also grown as fence or garden edging because of their attractive appearance.

  • Leaf. Tea tree leaves are linear and are either arranged alternately or in whorls. It is smooth, soft, and narrow, with no more than 35mm long and 1mm wide in green or dark grey color. These leaves have glands where their essential oils are abundantly located.
  • Flower. Many-flowered spikes with cream or white color bloom from the tea tree in spring and early summer. This mass of spikes gives it a kind of wispy appearance that lasts for only a short period.
  • Roots. As a member of the Myrtaceae family, the tea tree has a taproot and is branched.
  • Stem. A tea tree can grow like a big shrub or a small tree with flaky bark. Hence, it also earned the name paper-bark for its exfoliate stem.
  • Seeds. Melaleuca seed capsules contain fine and tiny globular seeds. These seeds are contained in the fruit cup indefinitely until the plant dies or gets heated in a bush fire.

Tea tree is also planted for stabilizing embankment. It makes not only an attractive fence but also an excellent windbreak. Tea trees have about 300 varieties that are also an excellent source of other types of oils and honey. Some of the popular species of Melaleuca are: Melaleuca linariifolia  and Melaleuca quinquenervia.

How To Grow Tea Tree

Tea trees enjoy moist, but well-drained soil and mostly a full sun. They are drought-tolerant, but not frost tolerant. Hence, it is ideal to grow them in places with a warm climate, or as a potted indoor plant in temperate climates. You can propagate tea trees from cuttings or grow them from seeds. Either way, it is an easy and low-maintenance plant that is fast-growing once it has established itself.

Growing Tea Tree From Seeds

Growing Tea Tree 1

The best seeds for planting a tea tree are those that are already 1 to 2 years old. Its germination is straightforward and does not require any treatment before sowing.

You can simply sprinkle tea tree seeds in a pre-drained mixture of peat moss, vermiculite, perlite, or coarse sand. Cover it lightly with perlite or fine sand, just enough to prevent air exposure yet allow sunlight exposure.

Make sure that your germinating tray receives at least six hours of sun. But you should provide a little light during midday by draping a light cloth over it. The tea tree seeds will germinate for about 14 to 30 days.

Transplanting

You may transplant the tea tree seedlings once they are about 3-inches high and has a set of leaves. Mix half soil and half sand in a pot and dig a 4-inch hole. Plant a seedling into the hole and place it in a sheltered area outdoors. Water them with 2-inches water every seven to ten days when transplanting in summer. You should also provide a light shade for the new seedlings during their first summer. Tea trees are best for transplanting to their permanent position in autumn.

Growing Tea Tree From Cuttings

Melaleuca is also propagated from cuttings, which is more reliable than seed growing if you already have an existing plant. Cut about 75 to 100 mm of the plant with the leaves removed from the lower half portion. Remove a slice of the bark and soak this in a rooting hormone solution to encourage rooting.

Taking Care Of Tea Tree Plants

Here are some important tips for growing a tea tree plant successfully.

  • Tea tree thrives in full sun and little shade.
  • They grow in either acidic or neutral soil as long as it is moist.
  • Water the plants regularly during the hot summer.
  • Irrigate the plants daily if planting on a pot.

How To Harvest Tea Tree

Tea tree has no other edible parts. Its usefulness is limited to the oil extracted from its leaves and twigs. Tea tree oil is the primary reason why tea tree is cultivated, and the secondary reason is for its ornamental value. That is why tea tree is often planted in wide plantation fields for higher product yield.

The tea tree leaves to be used in production are harvested once the plant is about two meters high. It is also pruned and gathered every 12 to 18 months to encourage new plant growth.

When harvesting tea trees, timing is important so as not to hamper future yields. The best time is when the lower leaf starts to drop off, and the stem is not yet too thick. It is also necessary to gather tea tree leaves during warm seasons instead of wet or freezing months.

Tea tree growers mechanically harvest them using a forage harvester to cut off the aerial growth. The forage harvester also chops the gathered parts to make them ready for steam distillation and oil extraction.

What Tea Tree Is Good For And Natural Remedies Made From It

Traditionally, crushed tea tree leaves were used for treating skin infections by applying them to the area with a warm mudpack. Its wood was also useful to the aborigines in making rafts and timber for roofing.

Until now, tea tree forests have had prominent roles in coastal areas. They serve as a natural trap for debris and in the prevention of soil erosion. They also serve as a habitat for aquatic animals, just like mangroves.

The tea tree foliage is also valuable in pharmacological and medical fields. Tea tree oil has potent antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. It makes tea tree oil a significant ingredient in most cosmetic, health care, and animal care products.

Tea tree oil’s best uses are for treating the following conditions:

Tea Tree - Benefits

What Parts Of Plants Are Used For Remedies

The tea tree leaves and young twigs are the most valuable part of the M. alternifolia. Traditionally, it is crushed and inhaled to clear breathing and alleviate respiratory symptoms. Steam distillation of its leaves produces the popular tea tree oil that is bottled and sold commercially.

Warnings And Cautions:

Tea tree is a safe topical solution when applied to the skin. It is also safe for breastfeeding and pregnant women and children. However, experts warned against using pure and raw tea tree oil. It may cause allergic reactions, skin irritation, or contact dermatitis. To test product tolerance, apply a small amount of tea tree oil to the skin before using it.

The tea tree plant and its essential oil are inedible and toxic. It is, therefore, not safe for oral consumption. Ingestion of essential oil can cause serious side effects like confusion, rashes, or even coma.

Avoid using tea tree oil near the eye as it can damage the mucous membrane. When using essential oil or any alternative, it is best to consult your doctor, especially if using it with conventional medical treatment.

  • WENDY POSTED DECEMBER 17, 2021 5:02 PMI liked tea tree oil even before my visit to New Zealand in 2005. My friend there pointed out that Manuka is the New Zealand variety of tea tree, and I came to really like the way it smells and my response to it; she did not tell me that Melaleuca is better for oil and Manuka is better for honey; this explains why I find plenty of Manuka honey, plenty of Melaleuca oil, and close to none of the inverse. Thanks for the education!Reply
  • PEGGY BLIUJUS POSTED DECEMBER 17, 2021 5:21 PMThank you for this article. I have used tea tree oil for at least 30 years and I recommend it to everyoneReply
  • MARINA POSTED DECEMBER 17, 2021 6:36 PMWhen the cautions and warnings say, “avoid pure oil” I feel that it means the concentration part. I use doTerra brand, even for internally consumption from their actual site otherwise it is concerning. Diluted: ( with water if taken internally or if use for skin diluted with a pure coconut oil etc) their concentration and purity is the bestReply
  • GOLDE POSTED DECEMBER 17, 2021 6:39 PMBe aware of what New Zealand has become. They drop poison all over the bush areas. I quit going there, and quit using their Manuka honey, as the suppliers could not tell me that the honey wasn’t contaminated. True story. If you would like more facts about this, read my article with many articles relating to this poison. https://www.flydreamers.com/en/articles/new-zealand-the-poisoned-nation-a1745#ref=search/resultsReply
  • DARLA POSTED DECEMBER 23, 2021 5:19 AMTea tree oil is great, but beware… it will kill cats . Use as an topical treatment for wounds will kill cats. FYIReply

Sologamy

My help failed me once again, so back to just being solo. It is so hard to find reliable and honest people these days. People say one thing, then do another.

Unfortunately I have too many other things on my plate to make this my priority right now. After my divorce in 2012, I put this on the back burner. Once I have the proper facilities and the time, I will be back full time. I can’t seem to find reliable help, so its just me probably from now on. My mother retires this summer and wants to help, so maybe that will be an option; she’s kind of a go-geter like me. I have one other potential helper, but she has too many stipulations and only wants to work in the background. So maybe I can work with that if I had another person I can depend on more full time.

Time will tell; but this is one of my passions, so I don’t plan to go anywhere. Just standing by for now. If you need or want something, let me know. I may not be able to get it to you right away, but I can and will get to you. Right now I am focusing on infrastructure so that I will have facilities to do this better in the future.

Thank, CainO’

Oils Of The Week

Thieves Oil: http://oilsoftheearth.com/?p=448

“”The recipe for this blend is believed to have originated from thieves during the 15th century. According to popular theory, the concoction was created by a group of four thieves® and grave robbers to protect themselves from contracting the plague while robbing the bodies of the gravely ill and deceased. When apprehended, the thieves admitted to using the formula and disclosed the recipe in order to receive a less severe punishment for their crimes.

Whether or not this story is true, the essential oils in this blend are antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-infectious. They will stimulate the immune system, circulation and respiratory system, and help protect against the flu, colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, sore throats, cuts, and more. Modern testing has shown the effectiveness of this blend and studies have found it to have a high kill rate against airborne bacteria.

This is a classic recipe, but you can customize it by adjusting the quantities or adding other antibacterial essential oils such as Tea Tree, Oregano, Thyme, Sage, Ravensara, Lavender, Juniper Berry, Hyssop, Bay Laurel, or Scotch Pine.

Ingredients:

8 parts Clove Bud essential oil
7 parts Lemon essential oil
4 parts Cinnamon Bark essential oil
3 parts Eucalyptus essential oil
2 parts Rosemary essential oil

Frankincense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankincense

Frankincense is one of more than 90 types of essential oils that are gaining steam in the realm of aromatherapy. Essential oils are made from parts of flowers, herbs, and trees like petals, roots, peels, and bark. They get their name because they give the plant its “essence,” or fragrance. They can be inhaled or diluted (watered down) and applied to your skin.

Each essential oil has its own smell and health benefits. Some popular ones include rose, lavender, sandalwood, chamomile, jasmine, and peppermint.

Frankincense is not one of the most widely used oils, but it does have potential health benefits. Also known as olibanum, frankincense comes from trees in the Boswellia family. Boswellia trees are native to Oman and Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula and in Somalia in northeastern Africa.

Frankincense oil is prepared by the steam distillation of gum resin from the Boswellia tree.

Health Benefits

Much is still being learned about the health benefits of frankincense, but doctors like the signs they see early in their research and believe it could have some good uses. Those uses could grow over time.

Frankincense, along with myrrh, has been prescribed in traditional Chinese medicine and administered for treatment of blood stagnation and inflammation diseases in addition to pain relief and swelling.

Other possible benefits include:

May Fight Cancer

A study done by nine doctors in China revealed frankincense and myrrh may help in the treatment of cancer. Specifically, boswellic acid might prevent cancer cells from spreading. 

Specific cancers frankincense may help fight are:

In another study discussed in a Cancer journal article in 2011, patients with brain tumors took 4.2 grams of frankincense or a placebo each day. Sixty percent of the group taking frankincense had reduced fluid in their brain, compared to 26% of the people given the placebo.

Improves Asthma

Research by eight doctors revealed that the compounds found in frankincense prevent the production of leukotrienes, which cause bronchial (throat) muscles to constrict in people who have asthma.

Myrrh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrrh

Myrrh oil is one of the oldest essential oils in recorded history. It’s mentioned in Biblical texts, it’s an important part of Ayurvedic medicine in India, and it’s been found in ancient Egyptian tombs that are more than 2,000 years old. It’s known for its rich, smokey, and sweet scent, and science is beginning to study it for potential health benefits.

Historically, myrrh oil has been used as a folk remedy for conditions such as:

Science has begun to find that myrrh oil may actually provide benefits for some of these conditions. However, studies have also found that myrrh oil on its own should not be consumed. In fact, like most essential oils, myrrh oil can be toxic if consumed. Here’s the breakdown of myrrh’s benefits and dangers.

Potential Health Benefits of Myrrh Oil

Myrrh oil smells wonderful and may contain compounds that can help a variety of common conditions. However, the same aspects that make myrrh oil so potent also can make it extremely dangerous to consume. Here are the benefits myrrh may eventually provide:

Reduce Inflammation

Myrrh oil appears to contain compounds that can help reduce the chemicals that cause inflammation in the body. These chemicals can trigger chronic swelling and pain.

As a result, certain myrrh oil extracts are being studied as potential treatments for inflammatory conditions such as arthritis. However, more trials need to be done to find safe dosages.

Reduce Headache and Back Pain

Studies also suggest that certain myrrh oil extracts can significantly reduce pain from headaches, sore muscles, and sore backs.

The compound furanodiene, which is found in myrrh oil, appears to help reduce pain significantly in many pathologies. Not all myrrh oil is high in this compound, so more work needs to be done in order to standardize this usage of myrrh.

Improve Oral Health

For some people with oral inflammation or canker sores, rinsing your mouth with a small amount of myrrh oil may help reduce pain and improve healing.

One study showed that using a mouthwash that contained myrrh as an active ingredient helped reduce oral sores and pain in more than 80% of patients. However, it’s important to note that this was due to direct contact between the myrrh and the sores, not because of swallowing the mouthwash.

Coriander Seed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriander#Fruits

There’s nothing that can brighten up a dish quite like the right spice, and cultures all over the world have decided that coriander is the one. The seeds of the plant are used in everything from pastries to curries, and its leaves are just as popular. There’s more to this plant than its flexibility, though. 

Coriander, also known as cilantro or Chinese parsley, is a widely used spice native to the Mediterranean. Coriander plants are entirely edible, but their leaves and their seeds are most commonly used as herbs and spices. In the US, the seeds of the plant are typically known as coriander and the leaves are called cilantro. In both forms, the plant provides some impressive health benefits. 

Health Benefits

The vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in coriander provide significant health benefits. Coriander leaves and seeds are full of vitamin K, which plays an important role in helping your blood clot.

Vitamin K also helps your bones repair themselves, helping prevent problems like osteoporosis. Additionally, evidence points to vitamin K helping lower your risk of heart disease.

Coriander leaves and seeds can also provide health benefits like:

Fewer Free Radicals

Coriander is full of antioxidants, which are important for fighting free radicals in your body. Free radicals are loose oxygen molecules that can damage your cells, potentially causing cancer, heart disease, and more. The antioxidants in coriander help remove free radicals from your body, reducing your risk of certain cancers and even decreasing signs of aging.

Lowered Risk of Heart Disease

Coriander has multiple effects that can benefit your heart health. The herb acts as a diuretic, which can help flush extra sodium from your system and reduce your blood pressure. Early research also suggests that coriander can help lower “bad” LDL cholesterol, reducing your risk of atherosclerosis, a form of coronary heart disease. 

Reduced I nflammation

Coriander shows promise in helping to reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation is linked to several uncomfortable conditions, from cancer to heart disease. The antioxidants in coriander have been linked to reduced inflammation and slowed growth of cancer cells in the lab. 

Reduced Blood Sugar Levels

Coriander seeds have been shown to significantly lower blood sugar in people who have diabetes. Current trials show that coriander helps activate the enzymes that help your body process blood glucose effectively. While more studies need to be done, people with high blood sugar may benefit from adding more coriander to their diet.

Eucalyptus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus leaves have many impressive benefits. They may help decrease pain, promote relaxation, and relieve cold symptoms. Many over-the-counter products also use eucalyptus extract to freshen your breath, soothe irritated skin, and repel insects. Aug 7, 2019

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/eucalyptus-leaves

Most people know that koala bears eat eucalyptus, but did you know that its dried leaves and oil can offer health benefits to humans, too?

Eucalyptus oil is toxic and should not be consumed — except in very small doses. However, when added to substances it can offer benefits such as soothing skin rashes. This delightful smelling oil can even help you get rid of head lice.

Most species of eucalyptus are native to Australia and have adapted to survive the wildfires. Eucalyptus can easily be identified by its fragrance, which smells like camphor, wood, and citrus. The appearance of eucalyptus varies depending on species. 

In Australia, Europe, and Asia, eucalyptus has long been used as an antiseptic and fever reducer. However, while modern science has lent some support to these and other traditional medicine claims about eucalyptus, more research is needed. 

Nutrition Information

Eucalyptus contains eucalyptol, also called cineole, an organic compound that is toxic in high doses. Eucalyptus leaves are not safe for humans to eat, although eucalyptus tea contains a safe amount of eucalyptus oil.

Potential Health Benefits of Eucalyptus

The eucalyptol in eucalyptus is also a powerful antiseptic. However, the same properties that make eucalyptus so potent as a germ killer also make it irritating in higher-than-normal doses. 

Research has found a number of potential health benefits of eucalyptus: 

Cough and Common Cold

Eucalyptol is used in many cough and cold medications because it helps to loosen phlegm and clear your sinuses. It may be prepared as lozenges or inhaled as vapor.

Oral Health

The eucalyptol in eucalyptus oil is often added to toothpaste and mouthwash to combat plaque and gum disease. Eucalyptus oil can also be added to chewing gum for the same oral health benefits.

Eucalyptus chewing gum can also fight bad breath and has been shown to be an effective treatment for bad breath.

Pain Management

Eucalyptus oil has been reported effective in reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation. In a randomized clinical trial, people who inhaled eucalyptus oil as an aromatherapy treatment experienced reduced pain and blood pressure after knee replacement surgery.

Atopic Dermatitis

The cooling effects of eucalyptus may make its extract a helpful part of treatment for atopic dermatitis (eczema) and other skin rashes. One clinical trial showed that the use of a moisturizing gel containing eucalyptus extract significantly improved the dryness, scaling, and itchiness associated with eczema.

Head Lice

Eucalyptus essential oil has been shown to be an effective treatment against head lice, without the adverse events associated with other chemical insecticides.

Tea tree oil is an extract from a plant native to Australia. Tea tree oil was used as a topical treatment by the Aboriginal people for centuries.

Why do people use tea tree oil?

Tea tree oil has been used traditionally as a topical antiseptic and antifungal treatment. One study found that a dilution of tea tree oil worked as well as 5% benzoyl peroxide in controlling the symptoms of acne. It may be effective with toenail fungus and possibly athlete’s foot, but more research is needed. Studies of tea tree oil for other conditions such as gum disease, vaginal infections, and dandruff have been inconclusive.

Tea tree oil has been proposed as a topical treatment for herpes labialis (the common cold sore), but it does not appear to be effective. Some laboratory studies have suggested that tea tree oil may be effective against MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a type of staph infection that’s resistant to many antibiotics. Although these studies are promising, more research needs to be done.

How much tea tree oil should you use?

Tea tree oil is only a topical treatment. It should never be taken by mouth.

Because tea tree oil is an unproven treatment, there is no established dose. The concentrations of tea tree oil used in studies have varied depending on the medical condition. For instance, a 5% tea tree oil gel might be used for acne, while a 10% or higher tea tree oil cream might be used for athlete’s foot. A 100% tea tree oil solution has been used with toenail fungus. If you use tea tree oil, follow the instructions on the label or get advice from your doctor.

Can you get tea tree oil naturally from foods?

There are no natural food sources of tea tree oil. Because of its toxicity, tea tree oil should never be swallowed.

What are the risks of taking tea tree oil?

  • Risks. Topical tea tree oil has been reported to cause allergic reactions that can be severe. Tea tree oil may also cause redness, itching, and blistering. It may aggravate burns and skin conditions like eczema. Using large quantities of tea tree oil on the skin could cause severe side effects.
  • For topical use only. Tea tree oil must never be used in the eyes or swallowed. Even in small amounts, swallowing tea tree oil could potentially cause severe reactions, including severe rash, nausea, confusion, and coma.

Given the lack of evidence about its safety, tea tree oil is not recommended for children or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Mugwort: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mugwort

People take mugwort root as a “tonic” and to boost energy. People take the rest of the plant for stomach and intestinal conditions including colic, diarrhea, constipation, cramps, weak digestion, worm infestations, and persistent vomiting. Mugwort is also used to stimulate gastric juice and bile secretion. Sep 17, 2019

Lavender: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavandula

Aromatherapy. Lavender is most commonly used in aromatherapy. The fragrance from the oils of the lavender plant is believed to help promote calmness and wellness. It’s also said to help reduce stress, anxiety, and possibly even mild pain.

https://www.healthline.com/health/what-lavender-can-do-for-you

Lavender is an herb native to the Mediterranean region. It is commonly used to flavor foods and beverages and as a fragrance in soap and other cosmetic products. 

Lavender is also one of the most widely grown essential oil crops in the world. This product, which is also referred to as lavender aromatherapy oil, is typically made by distilling the herb’s dried flowers with steam. 

Essential oils are too strong to use in their pure form. They are usually diluted with other oils, creams, or gels to reach a solution that contains a small percentage of the essential oil. 

Health Benefits

Like other essential oils, lavender essential oil is said to benefit your health in a variety of ways. However, many of its uses are not conclusive. 

There is some research to suggest lavender oil can provide the following health benefits: 

Anxiety Management

Lavender essential oil can ease symptoms of anxiety, although how and why it helps is debated. One study reported that inhaling lavender reduced anxious feelings in the following situations:

  • Preoperative anxiety
  • Chest tube removal
  • Cosmetic procedures
  • Intensive care unit stays

In another study, postpartum women with anxiety demonstrated lower levels of anxiety after using a rose and lavender oil blend for 15 minutes twice weekly for one month. 

As a bonus, using lavender essential oil offers a calming effect without sedation, dependence, tolerance, or withdrawal.

Sleep Aid

Studies have shown that inhaling essential oils — including lavender essential oil — may be a safe alternative to other medications for mild to moderate sleep disturbances.

Wound Healing

Using lavender essential oil can promote wound healing. It speeds up the rate of healing, increases the expression of collagen — which keeps your skin elastic and your joints healthy — and enhances the activity of proteins involved in rebuilding tissue.

Health Risks

Although using lavender essential oil can help manage your health, it can be harmful in rare cases. 

Prepubertal Gynecomastia

A 2007 study reported that repeated topical use of lavender essential oil products may cause prepubertal gynecomastia, which is a rare condition that causes breast development in young boys.

Clary Sage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_sclarea

When used in aromatherapy, clary sage oil can help alleviate stress by inducing a sense of well-being. One small study done on women undergoing a stressful medical test indicated that when inhaled, clary sage essential oil elicited feelings of relaxation and helped to reduce blood pressure. Oct 22, 2019

https://www.healthline.com/health/clary-sage

The plants harvested for sage essential oil belong to the Salvia genus. The most common strains used for oil are Salvia pratensis (clary sage), Salvia lavandulifolia (Spanish sage), and Salvia officinalis (common sage). Common sage originated in the Mediterranean region of Europe, where it has long been popular as a flavorful herb.

Sage has long been valued in traditional medicine. It has been used to treat a wide range of ailments including coughs, asthma, bronchitis, angina, inflammation, depression, digestive and circulation disorders as well as other diseases in communities across the globe.

For many native communities in North America, bundles of sage and other aromatic elements are burned in the practice of ‘smudging’ for spiritual, medicinal, and practical purposes.

Nutrition Information

It’s unsafe to ingest large amounts of sage essential oil. Ground sage, when eaten as an herb, is typically consumed in very small quantities.

One teaspoon of ground sage contains:

  • Calories: 2
  • Protein: 0.1 grams
  • Fat: 0.1 grams
  • Carbohydrates: 0.4 grams
  • Fiber: 0.3 grams

Ground sage also contains several vitamins and minerals, with the most prominent being calcium and iron. However, because sage is eaten in small amounts these micronutrients may occur in low levels when consumed.

Potential Health Benefits of Sage Oil

There have been a number of studies conducted on the health benefits of sage essential oil such as:

Antimicrobial Activity

In a study, clary sage essential oil was applied to Staphylococcus (bacteria that causes staph infection) cultivated from infected wounds. The results showed the oil has anti-staphylococcus properties that can treat a staph infection. Other studies have shown that sage essential oil is potentially effective against other diseases causing organisms such as, E. coli, Salmonella typhi, and Bacillus subtilis. Finally, this oil was tested against the SARS virus in vitro, however, in that case it was found to be only mildly effective.

Antidepressant

In early research using rats, clary sage oil was administered either via injection or inhalation to test for antidepressant effects. The study determined that clary sage oil may have an anti-stressor effect on the animals. The study’s authors proposed that research into clary sage oil may produce promising results for the treatment of depression, however, it is too soon to conclude if this may result in humans as well.

Supporting Memory

Traditional medicine has long used sage as a treatment for mental decline. Modern studies have shown that both common sage and Spanish sage essential oil may in fact be beneficial for improving memory and cognition. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of these oils may also help protect against further progression of dementia.

Anise Star: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illicium_verum

Star anise is rich in antioxidants and vitamin A and C, which help fight free radicals that are responsible for early ageing and diabetes. The oil produced from star anise contains thymol, terpineol and anethole, which is used for treating cough and flu. Feb 25, 2016

https://www.indiatoday.in/lifestyle/wellness/story/5-benefits-of-star-anise-or-chakra-phool-apart-from-adding-flavours-to-the-dishes-310564-2016-02-25

Anise seed, or Pimpinella anisum, is a powerhouse of a spice. You probably know it by its strong licorice flavor. It’s a key ingredient in liquors like orzo and absinthe, and in holiday cookies like Pfefferneusse and Springerle.

Anise’s use in cooking dates back to the ancient Egyptians, though it was the Romans who ate anise seed cakes after meals to ease digestion. Anise is also a traditional digestive aid in India, where people also know it as a breath freshener.

Anise is easy to grow in the garden, where it serves as a natural insecticide. But it’s after harvest when it can really go to work for you nutritionally. 

Health Benefits

Anise is a folk remedy around the world, used for everything from coughs and colds to stomach problems. Scientists are starting to figure out the chemical processes behind these benefits and identify even more uses for anise.

Blood Health

Anise seed contains relatively high concentrations of iron, which is an essential component of a red blood cell protein called hemoglobin. If the hemoglobin in your blood doesn’t contain enough iron, it can’t do its job of transporting oxygen to your body tissues. Ongoing lack of iron can lead to iron-deficiency anemia, which causes symptoms like:

  • Weakness
  • Fatigue
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Digestive issues
  • Poor body temperature regulation

Eating foods rich in iron, like anise seed, can keep your blood healthy and reduce your risk of iron deficiency anemia.

Depression Treatment

Several studies have shown that anise seed can reduce the symptoms of clinical depression. In mice, anise relieved symptoms of depression as effectively as two commonly used antidepressants.

More human studies need to happen, but some research has shown promising results for anise oil in treating depression related to irritable bowel syndrome.

Digestive Health

About one in every 10 people in the US have peptic ulcers, which are painful breaks or holes in the lining of the stomach or upper small intestine. Traditional medicine practitioners in India and the Arabic world have used anise to protect against ulcers for generations.

Open For Business

OK… I am officially opening back up for business this year for sure. Last year I thought I was ready, but this year I am ready. Again, go to www.DavidDavidAndDavid.com to place your order and/or if you would like to be a reseller. I have always offered bulk rates.

Right now… due to this non pandemic epidemic… I am mostly focusing on Thieves oil, but I have several oils in stock and I can get thousands more. This site is to show you what I have to offer, but I have merged all my multiple businesses into two over the years. My IT business; which my two business partners Terry and Jamie pretty much run now, and my farm. So if anything I was doing is not IT related, it is under the farm now… and vise versa.

Thieves oil: 1st, I give the recipe away for FREE, just CLICK HERE. Or you can buy mine. I will also start working on the new variation blends that people are talking about, like the Nature Sunshine blend and others. My current prices for the Thieves Oil as of today are:

Size = Price
0.02 oz = $4.98
0.08 oz = $7.38
0.12 oz = $10.94
0.25 oz = $16.20
0.50 oz = $24.00

1 oz = $35.56
2 oz = $52.68
4 oz = $78.05
8 oz = $115.63
16 oz = $171.30

Price will change once I sell out and place my next order, could go up or down. I had to pay more this last time because people were panic buying out everything. So the next order might be a little cheaper.

Future reference… I am changing direction with my aromatherapy business. I am going in a FARM direction. I will be focusing on essential oil blends for animals, as well as herbal ones. But I still have my over 500 recipes for humans and will have those available upon request, and I can and will be selling the base oils if you want to make your own or just to have them.

You can also call or text me at 816.518.8804, but David-Ray will be my main go to guy and I have two ladies who will be helping me as well; so Sarah may be the new go to Gal in the future. I will keep you posted.
