[tri-med] Re: Immunization schedule/Toxic products?--- Michelle

>Question: does anyone know where to get WATER SOLUBLE
tea tree oil? I can get the regular stuff around here
but remember hearing there is a water soluble type
here on the list. I'd like it for the humidifier
(evaporative, just a base and a wick) when Alex is
ill. Might even use it in the bath when warranted.

~Personal experience from me~
The tea tree oil I use is T36-C5. I also have
Ultra-rare grade T40-C3 which I use directly on
Genevieve. The T36 has so many uses. I use it in our
humidifier, 2-3 drops. I have a spray bottle of it
with it and plain water and I spray down the air
filter to furnace, I use a few drops in the bath, it
really is multi pupose. I have used a dap in my nose
when sinus starts. In the INHomes that I do one of the
things we show people is you blow up a balloon, you
can put 'other' remedies on it and it does nothing,
but when you put a drop of T36-C5 Tea Tree Oil on it,
the balloon pops because if it's penetrating
qualities. I have other testimonials that I use with
presentations. It's really awesome and plus it's
natural...
Here's more info for those unfamilar with TTO....

Tea Tree Oil

The colorless or pale yellow oil of the tree has a
pungent aroma resembling eucalyptus. It is composed of
over 100 different compounds, 79 of which have 
been identified. There are several compounds like
viridflorene, that have never been found in nature
before, so identifying some of these compounds has
required coming up with new names. 

Fifty to 60 percent of the oil is composed of terpenes
(pinenes, terpinene, and cymene). Cineole -- which is
responsible for the camphoraceous odor -- comprises
about 6 to 8 percent of the oil. Other substances
include alcohol terpineol, which has a nutmeg-like
odor and sesquiterpenes. 

To check the quality of the oil in each batch, the
quantity of only two compounds, cineole and
terpinen-4-ol, are tested. Cineole should not be
greater than 15 percent because it can be caustic to
the skin. The higher the percentage of terpinen-4-ol,
the better. Generally, good oils contain at least 30
percent. 

In the last 5 to 10 years there has been a lot of
studies documenting the efficacy of tea tree oil in
treating a variety of conditions including acne,
burns, thrush (yeast), Candida, bacterial and fungal
infections. Here are just a few of examples. A study
published in 2001 in the Journal of Chemotherapy found
tea tree oil was a good topical therapy for the
treatment of fungal infections of skin and mucosa
(lining of the mouth). A German study published in
2000 found tea tree oil showed anti-microbial activity
against a wide range of bacteria, yeast and  fungus. 
A randomized, placebo-controlled study conducted at
the University of California San Francisco published
in 1999 found topical tea tree oil effectively treats
fungal infections of the toenail known as
onychomycosis. Normally, this  type of infection can
destroy the entire nail and it has no satisfactory
pharmaceutical cure. Tea tree oil cured the fungal
infection in 80 percent of the patients. A study
published in the Medical Journal of Australia in 1990 
found tea tree oil was as effective in treating acne
as benzoyl peroxide, with fewer side effects. 

Tea tree oil can be purchased as a pure essential oil.
It may be applied either full strength or diluted in
water or another type of oil like olive oil. Most of
the tea tree oil produced, however, is added to skin
and beauty care products -- deodorants, shampoos,
mouthwashes, etc. Industrial-grade oils are used as 
disinfectants in floor detergents and can be added to
air conditioning and ventilation systems to kill mold
and fungus. 

Tea tree oil can also be used for animals. Bites,
cuts, stings, rashes, dermatitis, lice, mange,
ringworm, fleas and ticks are just a few of the
veterinary uses. 

The only side effects reported from tea tree oil are
an occasional mild rash or allergic contact
dermatitis. In studies where patients developed a mild
reaction, they were able to continue using it until
their treatment was complete. Rarely, someone may
experience a more severe reaction, in which case he or
she should stop using it. And never ingest it. (duh)
