Amazing Tea Tree Found at Le Petit Spa
Amazing Tea Tree
What’s green, cool to the touch, contains anti-septic properties and has high anti-fungal activities?
Tea Tree! Used at Le Petit Spa after waxing treatments to calm skin irritations and to soothe the skin, is a remarkable concoction of properties:
1. Anti-inflammatory - Calms redness and itchiness sometimes experienced on the skin after hair removal treatments
2. Anti-fungal - Can be used to treat funguses; usually concentrated tea tree oil is applied to toe nails experiencing an outbreak of fungus. This is also a great way to treat nail fungus as an alternative to fungus medications that you ingest orally; they are extremely hard on the liver.
3. Anti-septic - Prevents any post-hair removal bumps or painful ingrown hairs that can occur in the hair follicle after hair is removed.
History behind the use of Tea Tree Oil
Tea Tree was first used by aboriginals in Australia to heal cuts, wounds and other skin ailments by crushing the leaves and applying them to the affected areas.
Some tips on using Tea Tree Oil:
As all essential oils are quite concentrated in pure form, they can cause burns, blisters and painful irritation if applied directly to human skin. If you’re buying Tea Tree Essential Oil to treat acne, a nail fungus or even athletes foot, make sure the oil has been diluted to some degree so it does not cause any harm to your skin.
Can I take Tea Tree Oil internally?
Absolutely NOT! Tea Tree Oil cannot be taken internally, even in small doses as it can cause impaired immune function, diarrhea, and potentially fatal nervous system failure.
Is there anyone who cannot use Tea Tree Oil?
Yes. Recent studies have shown that Tea Tree Oil can alter hormone levels, and when used by pre-pubescent boys in products such as skin creams and bath products can cause an increase in breast tissue. People experiencing hormone-sensitive cancers and pregnant or breast-feeding women should also steer clear of pure Tea Tree Essential Oil.
