Today I want to share a story with you about Melaleuca or Tea Tree Oil. It's a somewhat icky story, and I am somewhat reluctant to tell it, but I also feel that being honest, and sharing, might help someone else. So here goes. Unfortunately I contracted a rash after visiting our community Jacuzzi. It's called Hot Tub Folliiculitis and it's a bacteria found in or around the area. Yeah sounds lovely right? It wasn't. I woke up the next day with these red bumps on my temples and neck around my hair line and thought I was going through puberty again. After a few days I realized it was not acne and started looking into what it might be. In the meantime I developed these red puss filled dots. I didn't even want to go out of the house. It's a good thing most of my work is done over the phone! A wonderful doctor friend of mine figured out what it was (thanks Dr. Lee) and then I was able to treat it appropriately. Since this rash is a bacteria I started using melaleuca which is an anti-bacterial essential oil. I could see the improvement right away. I used it twice a day after washing my face, and the dots starting drying out, the puss disappeared. Every time I use an essential oil it reaffirms my belief in the products. There is an essential oil for almost everything that ails you.
