Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was first introduced to tea tree oil when I was in school for massage therapy, so I was well aware of its many benefits when I made this purchase. I also knew what to look for & expect from a TRUE, PURE tea tree oil. This one is the real deal. First, to those reviewers complaining about the horrible smell ... that's what tea tree oil is like when it's pure. Yes, it has an unfamiliar scent. Yes, it's strong. Yes, it's aroma packs a potent punch. Why? Because it's NATURAL ... with nothing added. No chemicals to dilute the smell or make it more pleasant or remind you of flowers or fruit or whatever you expected. It's straight from Mother Nature, so that smell is to always be expected. That being said, if you ARE able to tolerate & get past the smell - (I actually like it because I immediately associate with healing) - there's a whole laundry list of benefits this little gem can afford you. It can be used as an antiseptic, to treat acne, to combat dandruff & promote healthier hair, as a hand sanitizer, household cleaner .... plus, many, many more. Each requires a different preparation (with other all natural products), but you can easily find these at home recipes on line. It's well worth the research. Just make sure you DO the research, though. Tea tree oil - like anything else - can work wonders for many, but may not be the best option for some. It can be irritating & overwhelming to some (such as those with sensitive skin), so ALWAYS try any remedy recipe carefully ... a tiny amount to a small area first & wait to see how your skin reacts. Hopefully, you'll get the green light because tea tree oil can give you a lot of chemical free healing options for a variety of things.
