Tea Tree oil is an antifungal and antibacterial. It will kill toe nail fungus, yeast infections, and a few other things. Just use a drop because otherwise it is going to burn like he**!!

Put a drop of Tea tree oil in it and sinus infections clear up quick.

Oh that's tempting, I am fighting off one now. It's almost gone, but, really butting stuff up my nose freaks me out. To have it come out the other side would be worse I think.

Tea Tree oil is fantastic, we use it all the time. One of the few essential oils you can apply "neat"; without a carrier oil.

Tea Tree oil also good for repelling ticks and mosquitoes. !.

Though....for mosquitoes.. I prefer using natural pine tar soap and shampoo for the occasional bath..Better yet have a sauna to bathe.. Then stand in the smoke of a camp fire a bit. Also use mind over matter again. For me it works.. Just relax do not fear the mosquito, do not tense up. If one lands on you DO NOT swat it! Just gently brush or blow it away. Do not kill it. If and when they bite me, again just blow them off. With this method I get fewer bites and when I do I rarely get an itchy bump..

Remember native people lived for many thousand years without the use of DEET..

This does not work with biting flies...

They are my enemy, and can drive me crazy.

Know ticks, again less "smelly" soap if you wash, just forget about washing your outer cloths, or stick them in the dirt in the woods or over a camp fire for a while. Or like me run the diesel tractor, and chain saw.. and be covered in sawdust most of the day.. Rarely get a tick this way.. They think I am just part of the woods..

ON

Note to self: get more tea tree oil. Good for just about everything..

Reminds me of the first time my husband met up with what we call "Green Heads" in South Jersey Big ol' biting flies with huge green eyes. We were crabbing at a place called Turkey Point (because of all the Turkey Buzzards that roosted there) All of us had put on Deep Woods Cutter but he refused. "No, No, I'll be fine" He was fine for about 2 minutes! when one of those big ol' things took a bite out of the back of his thigh!! We all heard his scream and knew what it was. He had been all over the world with the Marine Corps and dealt with all kinds of bugs. But it took a "Green Head" from South Jersey to make him scream like a little school girl!!

sounds like a type of horse fly like we get up here in NH!

Hello all!
Nice to see that there is a pagan thread here of fellow chicken lovers!
I am an eclectic type, I have followed many paths and still have many more to go. I take a little from everything but mostly I refer to myself as a witch who follows the crooked path of Native American/Norse/Sufi ways. looking forward to getting to know you all!
