This is in continuation of our effort to help everyone get rid of their hair loss and other issues, and provide information on natural products to treat those hair problems.
In our previous discussions we talked about, Lavender essential Oil and Hair Treatment using Shikakai.
Tea tree oil comes from the leaves of the tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) usually found around the Australian coast. This tea tree oil doesn’t come for the Tea leaves used for drinking.
Tea tree Oil has anti fungal, anti microbial, anti bacterial and anti inflammatory property and is used in skin and hair related treatments. It helps in treatment of:
- Head Lice
- Dandruff & Dry Scalp
- Hair loss
It helps nourish your hair follicles and strengthen the roots, and their by promoting hair growth.
How to Apply:
- Take 3 table spoon carrier oil (coconut, Almond, Olive or Argan Oil)
- Add 4-5 drops of Tea Tree essential Oil
- Warm it slightly. Do not heat.
- Gently apply to your head scalp and slowly massage it with your fingers. Please do not scrub or be harsh on your head.
- Cover it with a warm towel and relax for at least 30 – 45 minutes.
- Rinse the hair with warm water and herbal shampoo.
- Repeat the process couple times a week. If you have dandruff problem you can add couple of drops of Tea tree oil in water and spray it daily on your head.
It is always better that you try it out on a small area, and if it doesn’t cause any issues, then apply it over the entire head.
Some Important points for your consideration:
- Please keep out of reach of kids. It is safe to be used topically (on head) but not supposed to be consumed by mouth.
- Never use Tea Tree oil in concentrated form for your hair treatment.
- Please do not continue if you feel irritation after using it.
- if it goes in your eyes or has some negative effect on skin, wash it with a cold water.
- Pregnant women should discuss with doctor before using it.
- if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to discuss with your doctor before using it.
Please try it at home and let me know your feedback.
