Will a vinegar , olive oil and tea tree oil treatment work on lice?
I dont want to use the pesticides because i have bad reactions to them. And i was looking up online that i can use vinegar to loosen the nits and a olive oil and tea tree oil mixture to kill everything else.
Absolutely not. Nor will mayo. Talk to a doctor. You aren’t the only person in the world who’s skin is sensitive to lice killing shampoos. You should also thoroughly wash all your bedding to prevent a second infestation.

Acne Relief From Tea Tree Oil
The world is fast waking up to the wonders of tea tree oil. The famous beauty brand “The Body Shop” has an entire line of products made from tea tree oil. These products are very helpful in preventing blemishes. They deeply purify and cleanse your skin along with absorbing excess oil. Body Shop and many other companies have created lines of tea tree oil products to help treat acne.
Tea tree leaves were earlier used as a substitute for tea, which is how the tea tree got its name. The Tea Tree oil is obtained from steam distillation of the leaves of the tree Melaleuca alternifolia. Among the 100 compounds contained in the oil, terpinen-4-ol accounts for most of the antimicrobial properties. This tree is native to the New South Wales located in Australia.
Tea Tree oil was used in Australia as a potent antiseptic much before any scientific research. However the recent studies support use of tea tree oil in skin care and various aliments including acne, dandruff, toenail infection, fungal infection, and Athlete’s foot. It is also used in toothpaste, mouthwashes, soaps and shampoos all over the world. It is also used to cure flu, cough and to clear congestion.
Tea tree oil contains terepinen-4-ol which is mostly responsible for its antimicrobial properties. This helps in killing the harmful bacteria. Using tea tree oil to treat acne lesion helps to kill Propionibacterium acnes, the skin-dwelling bacteria that is responsible for causing acne.
Tea tree oil is very effective in treatment of moderate acne. A random trial was done to prove this by the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Department of Dermatology on 124 people. This trail compared the effectiveness and tolerance of 5% tea tree oil and 5% benzoyl peroxide. The results showed that there was significant reduction using tea tree oil, albeit with slower onset of action.
Even though tea tree oil took more time in showing results, there were fewer side effects like burning, itching, dryness and stinging that benezoyl peroxide group showed.
Another study in 2007 on 60 patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris also gave notably better results than placebo.
Using Tea Tree Oil for Acne
Undiluted tea tree oil should not be applied to an acne lesion as it can cause burning, itching, dryness, redness, skin irritation and even blistering. The concentration that is advised is 5% tea tree oil solution which can be applied to effected areas.
To make 5% tea tree oil solution mix 5 parts of tea tree oil to 95 parts of water (5cc of 100% tea tree oil to 95cc of water).
Brenda Harper, a Californian aesthetician, uses it on a regular basis with clients who experience acne with “wonderful results,”. She recommends application of Glycolic acid after dabbing tea tree oil on the affected areas and waiting for 15 minutes.
Tea tree oil is safe, as long as not used internally. Data on oral use of tea tree oil is very limited and there are some reports of side effects of oral ingestion.

What is the most effective way to dilute tea tree oil for spot treatment on pimples?
I’m using a Q-tip to dab 100% pure tea tree oil on pimples and it has worked very well so far, but I want to make sure this won’t cause any future problems. I’m not allergic to it or anything, but should I wet the Q-tip with water first to dilute the tea tree oil, or is using a Q-tip instead of direct from the bottle onto my skin enough?
Although it is oil, it isn’t exactly greasy and I mix it with water effectively. My bottle says to dilute it 10:1 with water. It’s potent stuff and can irritate your skin if you use it undiluted.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
