What you need to know
Ok so heres my take on it. Having been a kitchen witch for a number of years. (That's slang for holistic healer). I have discovered a number of tried and true methods to heal all kinds of ailments. Tea tree oil used to be my go to for anything fungal, mainly because it's so versatile and painless. But over the years even at diluted strength I and two of my clients started getting ill about 10 to 15 mins after applying. First the sinuses would close up, then the headaches would start, then the shivers. Its horrible. Went searching for info and found that in lots of cases with continued use of tea tree oil the body will max out on toxicity. As u know tea tree is toxic when ingested in any amount. So to my thinking if it is absorbed thru the skin its entirely possible for the body to start rejecting it. Thusly I switched to oregano oil. It's hot. And slightly caustic. I dilute first always. Even at half strength it burns. At 5% it becomes a bit more innocuous. But hey, If it doesnt Stink, Sting or Stain it probably wont work. Lol. This stuff is from the high mountains, Compactum not vulgaris. Use with caution. But it works! Do u have fungicide resistant fungus? Heres ur answer. Be consistent use twice a day with 12 hrs between. 5% diluted =9 drops to one tablespoon of carrier oil. I use fractionated coconut oil cause its thin and spreads easy with no rubbing. U should not get the oil or the solution on ur bare fingers. Itll stick around and end up in an eye. Use brushes, q-tips or droppers at all times. If u use gloves, make sure they are disposable, coz the oil will eventually melt through the fingers. Oh and your mileage will vary. Used properly this tiny bottle will last for a long time. Thanks!
