TEA TREE OILS ETC
Since several asked...and my friend Heather posted this on her blog today....here you go....
From Heather's blog: First of all I am really loving the essential oils. I never knew how many wonderful uses they had. Our favorite two oils are Tea Tree and Lemon. Tea tree oil is not only a disinfectant, but has anti-fungal properties as well. It can be used on Acne, sinus congestion, skin irritations, athletes foot, as well as a multi-purpose cleaner. Lemon oil also has disinfectant qualities and smells terrific when using it for cleaning. I recommend going to www.teatreeoiluses.com or www.naturesgift.com for more information. Also, by clicking on the TITLE to this post (Healthy Home), you will be directed to a website that has many natural recipes for cleaners and other non-toxic remedies for household problems and maintenance.Here are just 2 of my favorite homemade cleaning solutions.
Disinfectant spray:In a clean spray bottle, combine 4 oz distilled water; 15 drops lemon essential oil; 3 drops tea tree oil. Shake well. This is primarily what I use instead of Lysol.
Window Cleaner:Mix equal parts distilled white vinegar and distilled water with 1/4 tsp natural dish soap (like Ecover) Shake well & use as you would windex.

Cool! I am still new at doing things all natural and am always excited to read how others use them. But how do you use tea tree oil for sinus congestion? I like to put a few drops of eucalyptus in the shower with me, it helps some.

Two ways that I've tried....a few drops in a saucepan of boiling water....hang your head over the steam with a towel and inhale fumes.....or HOT bath with drops in it....
