Once you start using essential oils you will find some that you use more than others. One oil we use in our house almost every single day is Melaleuca. I am constantly amazed at how many uses each of the oils has especially this one! Here are some of my favorite uses…..
Blemishes
We are full into the tween years with teens right around the corner in my house. My daughter is super thankful that Melaleuca works so good for those inconsiderate little “skin irritations” that appear right when they are most inconvenient. To use put a drop on your finger and apply to affected area.
Bumps, Bruises, and Scrapes Oh My
I have the clumsiest kids ever and to be honest they are just like me! Oh man I never went a day growing up that I didn’t trip, fall or knock something over. My poor kids didn’t have a chance. Thankfully Melaleuca works great to help all those embarrassing “skin irritations of any color”. To use just rub a drop onto the “ouch” area!
Cleaning
It is great for cleaning lots of things but my favorite is for cleaning toilets! Combine 10 drops of Melaleuca, 1/2 cup baking soda, and 1/4 cup vinegar and let the cleaning begin.
Cleaning Skin
So I am sure no one else has had a kid get into their Sharpie stash but on the off chance they do Melaleuca works great at rubbing off the permanent marker from the skin without any irritation. Hopefully it’s not a use you need to use everyday but good to know none the less:)
Laundry
Add a few drops to laundry that has that stubborn mildew smell. It is great for towels that get the awful smell. It freshens them right up!
