Tea Tree Oil for Hair and Skin Melaleuca Oil Benefits

· 1 Comment

Tea Tree Oil has beauty and health applications that make it a powerful multi-tasker in your beauty arsenal.

The lovely Flowering Tea Tree

The lovely Flowering Tea Tree, Melaleuca alternifolia

 

Tea Tree leaves are crushed to obtain the oil. Melaleuca alternifolia, or tea tree, is not a source of green tea leaves. Tea tree oil is also called melaleuca oil. We use these terms interchangeably. This natural remedy oil has many useful applications. It is a potent essential oil and almost always requires dilution.

Here are ways to use Tea Tree Oil for scalp health, hair loss, acne, moisturizing skin and to prevent razor burn.

TEA TREE OIL For HAIR

Tea Tree Oil for Hair Growth

Melaleuca oil doesn’t directly cause hair growth, but it removes hair growth barriers. It induces hair growth by unclogging hair follicles and nourishing roots. It also helps prevent hair loss and hair fall.

To use Tea Tree Oil for hair growth, first choose a carrier oil. Jojoba, safflower, grapeseed, and almond are a good choices for hair and scalp care. Add a few drops of Melaleuca oil and massage it into the scalp. It should tingle, but not burn. Straight Tea Tree Oil is too potent for direct contact with the scalp.

When first using Tea Tree Oil, hair may seem a bit dry, this is normal until the scalp finds a balance. If hair seems dry, use less Tea Tree and focus the massage treatments directly on the scalp.

Tea Tree Oil for Dandruff

Melaleuca oil is useful on dandruff when used as a toner or by adding a few drops of melaleuca Oil in shampoo. It reduces dandruff severity, itchiness and greasiness. [1]

Flowering Tea Tree

TEA TREE OIL For SKIN CARE

Tea Tree Oil for Acne

Melaleuca oil contains terpinen-4-ol, which is an amazing antibacterial and antifungal.[2,3]

It is also a moisturizing toner, cleanser and astringent. It effectively treats acne and prevents future breakouts [4]. It is not drying like other acne-treating ingredients, so it is effective on sensitive skin and adult acne. It even treats cystic acne.

Melaleuca oil for acne is gentler than other remedies.[5] It does not irritate the skin, it stops breakouts. It does not preclude using anti-aging treatments on same areas.

How to Treat Acne with Tea Tree Oil

There are two ways to use Melaleuca oil for acne.

  1. The first way is to mix a ratio of 90% water to 10% Tea Tree Oil and dab it on the spot with a Q-tip or cotton ball, twice a day.
  2. The second way is to combine one teaspoon of Aloe Vera Gel with two drops of Melaleuca oil and apply the mixture to acne with a q-tip. Let it dry fully, wait a few minutes, and wash with warm water followed by moisturizer.

Melaleuca oil can gently treat acne breakouts but is gentler on the skin than benzoyl peroxide. It also heals while it treats so there is less dry, flaky, red skin after acne treatment.

Melaleuca oil for Dry Skin

Treat dry skin with Almond Oil and Melaleuca oil and gently massage it into skin ten minutes before bathing. It is also an excellent natural treatment for contact dermatitis [6] and psoriasis [7].

Melaleuca oil and Shaving

Melaleuca oil added to water can lather and used for shaving. It moisturizes the skin and can soothe the skin after waxing or threading. Melaleuca oil prevents razor irritation or a razor burn rash. Add Melaleuca oil to your regular shave cream, oil or soap to pre-empt the razor burn.

 

Other Benefits

  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Wound healing
  • Clears Nail infection
  • Natural (diluted) mouthwash
  • Use diluted as a wash to inhibit mold on fruit!!

Sponsored Post: Calming Aromatherapy Blends For The Perfect Night-In and a Good Night’s Sleep

· 1 Comment

With social distancing becoming the new normal, your number of monthly nights-out is already down to zero. (Wandering around the block doesn’t count.)

Staying indoors all day and every day can make anyone go insane. Add to it the stress of working from home, meeting deadlines, feeding your family 3x a day and putting up with your kids’ shenanigans and it can seem like an insurmountable challenge.

Every day is a mess like that, but your nights can be peaceful. And they should be because a good night’s sleep is really important for you to cope with all the madness that’s quickly becoming considered the “new normal”.

However, when you have 101 tasks on your to-do list, it’s hard not to think about them, especially when you are trying to get some sleep. Frustrating, right?

There are many online sleep-inducing apps that claim to be highly effective, but it doesn’t make sense to seek comfort in technology when it’s causing discomfort in the first place.

One of the proven ways to get a good night’s sleep is to add some essential oils to your routine. An essential oil diffuser is the first thing you need on your bedside table. Once you have it in place, the next step is to bring out the essential oils and create your sleep-time blends.

 

Today we’ll go over some of the best essential oils and how you can create various blends to fill your room with soothing aromas that may help you calm your nerves and sleep like a baby.

  1. Bergamot

    Bergamot

Made from the Bergamot fruit extract, it is one of the most popular essential oils used in aromatherapy. Its delicate, citrusy fragrance accented with floral notes has a calming effect on the mind and body. Combining your bedtime routine with the right essential oil can help relax your mind, reduce involuntary muscle tension and lull you to sleep like 1.2.3…

  1. Vetivert

It has a rich, earthy scent which might seem unusual at first, but eventually, it will grow on you. Also, there’s always an option to mix it with other essential oils to fill your room with gentle aromas for your night-in.

  1. Frankincense

This essential oil works as a sedative – in a good way. It helps to balance your emotions, calm your mind and support natural healing. In case you are having 3 AM existential crisis or trying to win an argument in your head, this is one of the essential oils you will want to reach for.

  1. Lavender

    Lavender

All of us have used this essence in one form or the other, at least once in our lives. Lavender is known for supporting healthy sleep as well as its relaxing effect on all ages – babies through adults. Also, if you want to fragrance your room, Lavender is a better and safer alternative to synthetic room fresheners.

  1. Valerian

Thanks to its sweet, earthy aroma, Valerian essential oil is known to ease stress and occasional restlessness and promote healthy sleep. It’s a herb native to Asian and European countries and has been in use since time immemorial.

  1. Ylang Ylang

Ylang-Ylang Ingredient Definition on StyleChicks.com

Ylang-Ylang

This essential oil is believed to have aphrodisiac essence that helps to balance female and male energies and fill the room with tranquil aromas that’ll drift you off to dreamland. Perfect for a romantic night-in, what do you say?

  1. Clary Sage

Thanks to its cooling essence, this essential oil has commendable soothing effects and offers various skin benefits when used topically. Put a few drops of Clary Sage in your diffuser and let that calming effect be all over the place.

Clary Sage

  1. Patchouli

Made from patchouli leaf extracts, this essential oil not only creates a relaxing, sleep-inducing environment but also cleanses the air as an anti-bacterial agent. It can be used in a diffuser with other essential oils for a soothing aroma throughout the night.

 

 

Using these essential oils in blends can elevate the calming effect, and by using various permutations, you can have a new mix every day.

For now, here are five exotic blends that you can create by combining above-mentioned essential oils.

The Shut-Eye blend

What do you get when you mix one drop of Lavender with one drop of Valerian in your diffuser? A glorious night of stress-free sleep. This is one of the straightforward blends that create a calming effect and fill your room with a pleasant, soothing aroma.

The Tranquility blend

If you are having trouble sleeping because of your heightened brain activity, two drops of Frankincense, one drop of Vetiver and two drops of Bergamot in your diffuser will calm your emotions, and you’ll start to feel light and fall asleep in minutes.

The Beauty Sleep blend

When was the last time you had an uninterrupted sleep? Like ages ago, right? Two drops of Bergamot, one drop of Vetiver and one drop of Patchouli should do the trick for you. This mild concoction of essential oils will relax your muscles to prepare you for a good night’s sleep so that you wake up feeling fresh all day, every day.

The Lights-Out Blend

After watching your favorite Netflix show, it’s time to hit the bed. But you can’t stop anticipating the next episode. Mix Ylang Ylang and Clary Sage in equal proportions and top it off with sandalwood to create a soothing aroma. This blend balances emotions and relaxes your mind to help you sink into bed.

The Hit-The-Sack Blend

If your idea of a night-in involves extended screen time, it may affect your ability to drop off to sleep. A combination of Frankincense (two drops), Clary Sage (two drops), and Vetiver (one drop) will gently nudge you down the ‘sleepery’ slope. Turn on your diffuser 30 minutes before you are ready to drop.

 

Conclusion

There are immense benefits to using essential oils in your everyday life. Apart from being a great sleep-inducer, essential oils, when used in their recommended form, can help you cope with a variety of health issues, like anxiety, headaches and migraines and skin rashes to name a few.

Which blend are you going to try today?

Research-Backed Clean Luxury Beauty: Sacred Mama Organics SuperFood Beauty Oil

· 15 Comments

Watercress is an unsung skin hero. It is packed with skin-nourishing, rejuvenating nutrients. We love Watercress because it enhances collagen III (baby collagen) AND elastin. So we’re over the moon to learn of a Watercress-based beauty oil: Sacred Mama Organics SuperFood Beauty Oil. This oil contains decadently nutritive, organic ingredients. Research studies show these ingredients each support skin rejuvenation.
Sacred Mama Organics SuperFood Beauty Oil has a watercress base.

Sacred Mama Organics SuperFood Beauty Oil is the beauty brainchild of Sacred Mama Organics founder Judy Beserra. This organic oil packs in beauty powerhouses like Pomegranate, Royal Jelly, Abyssinian Seed and Rosehip Oils. The true star of this oil, however, is “baby collagen”-making Watercress.

Watercress is a secret anti-aging weapon.

Watercress is a secret anti-aging weapon.

Wonderful, Wonderful Watercress

Sacred Mama Organics SuperFood Beauty Oil is a non-comedogenic Watercress-based oil. It is suitable for daily use and beauty emergencies.

We previously posted exciting skincare research identifying the exact mechanism of the skin resiliency changes that cause rougher skin and overall skin aging. The study cited that Watercress reverses these skin issues by promoting Collagen III production in the dermal cells. Collagen III is known as baby collagen because it is plentiful at birth but diminishes with age.  Collagen III must regenerate in the dermal cells of the papillary dermis skin layer to reverse signs of aging. [1] Watercress can do this.

Watercress also contains many skin-enhancing nutrients. One example is copper. Copper builds both collagen and elastin.

Elastin gives skin its’ springy, vibrant, youthful bounce. Elastin is as important as collagen, but fewer products address elastin restoration. And even fewer restore the collagen and elastin fibers in the dermal cells.

Watercress is only one of the many skin-enhancing ingredients in this amazing formulation.

About the Brand

Sacred Mama Organics founder Judy Beserra comes from a family of entrepreneurs. Her Dad was a Watercress Farmer. Her Mom, an artist. She taught Judy important natural skin care lessons.

Judy combined her Watercress knowledge with her knowledge and love of organic products to create Sacred Mama Organics.  Future Sacred Mama Organics formulas will also use watercress as the base.

The formulation took lots of research and effort, then in 2019 Sacred Mama Organics SuperFood Beauty Oil debuted.

Sacred Mama Packaging

We love this rich yet non-comedogenic restorative oil. It is packed with ingredients that work harmoniously to restore skin. Research shows these ingredients can work wonders for all skin types. It is lightweight on the skin, yet deeply moisturizes rough and dry patches. We will keep you posted as to our skin progress with future Sacred Mama Organics SuperFood Beauty Oil updates.

LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Adjustable Bracelets have genuine gemstones and lava beads. They diffuse the essential oil of your choice throughout the day.

The adjustable nature makes it ideal for giving as a gift that will fit anyone. I’m someone with small wrists. The adjustable feature is useful since bracelets often clunk around or fall off. The adjustable bracelets come in two sizes, small/medium and medium/large.

HOW DOES DOES THIS DIFFUSER BRACELET WORK?

Each bracelet has several lava beads dispersed amongst the gemstones. Lava beads are porous and retain and diffuse essential oils. The scent will last throughout the day. It will not leak, stain clothing or other jewelry. Get personal aromatherapy wherever you go from an attractive, unique piece of jewelry. Enjoy essential oils without direct skin contact or overwhelming others with a scent.

We have been using LovePray Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets for more than two years now. They look as good as the day we got them. They are sturdy and the lava beads do not wear down or scuff even with repeated oil applications. As fans of sustainable fashion, we love that LovePray pieces are well made and durable.

DIFFUSER BRACELETS VERSES DIRECT SKIN ESSENTIAL OIL APPLICATION

  • The oils scent diffused on the lava beads outlasts direct skin contact. It diffuses a drop of oil throughout the entire day.
  • Oils applied directly to the skin can stain clothing and may cause an allergic reaction.
  • Suitable for a perfume-free zone such as work, the beach or outdoor outings. You can remove your LovePray bracelet as needed when in a scent-free environment.

HOW TO INFUSE THE BRACELETS

Apply a drop or two of essential oil and rub it on the lava beads. I found the beads hold the scent for several hours. Only a drop or two will last throughout the day.

Add a drop of essential oil directly to the lava beads and rub in with your finger

The scent generally lasts one day. Once the scent dissipates, a different oil can be used the next time.
