Tea Tree Oil Melaleuca alternifolia
Tea Tree oil is one of my most favorite and most used oils. I make my own cleaning solution and tea tree oil along with On Guard and lemon are the best oils for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Tea tree can also be used to treat female yeast infections by making a suppository with coconut oil. I also use tea tree oil for oil pulling to help with dental health.

“Tea Tree” or Melaleuca Essential Oil, is best known for its purifying qualities, which make it useful for cleansing the skin, home surfaces, and purifying the air.
Tea Tree essential oil has over 90 different compounds and limitless applications. The leaves of the Tea Tree have been used by the Aboriginal peoples of Australia for centuries. They would apply crushed leaves directly to the skin for a cooling effect. Tea Tree oil is best known for its purifying properties.

PastTense® Oil Tension Blend
Past Tense is a newer oil to me and Doterra recently just started selling it as a separate oil instead of diluted in a roller ball. This means you can make your own roller balls for so much cheaper. I love this oil for rubbing on the scalp and can instantly sooth a headache. It is also great to apply direction on the skin for emotional support. This is a stronger oil, so I highly suggest making a dilution with it or using it on the feet if using it straight from the bottle.
