Bunnies, Tea Tree and Aslan Rabbits...

[Guest guest]

Sandra,

Oh, OK, I will not tickle you. I'm a strong believer that there are almost no

conditions that one would use EO's neat (or strait) on anything that you want to

stay alive.

 

One study on Tea Tree that I have heard of used no greater than a 5% dilution.

5% Tea Tree in another carrier. Tea Tree is one where the d-limonene breaks

down over time and it become less safe on the skin. (That's why my Tea Tree is

in the fridge with the citrus and pine Eos.)

 

The studies I know and have access too show that no stronger that 1% Tea Tree

for long term use. Occasional/emergency use of a stronger level probably O.K.

 

Tea Tree oil can very from producer too. I know of one company that likes to

use one that has a high level of 'irritation' to the skin – cause they want

their product to have a 'tingly' feeling. A producer I know brought them

wonderful safe oil that was low in irritants and they refused it. The use Tea

Tree that's worse for their customer's skin for the product feel, nutty hunh!

(But it's what we want as consumers!)

 

Always question the people that SELL you the EO's are the ones to tell you use

them neat. It just makes you use them up faster.

 

Anyway, thanks for the info!

 

Yes, English are the cutest! (And seem to have the most snuggly

personalities.) I like the giants too. Although, have you seen the

lionheads??! They can't help but crack you up! They are fuzzy headed dwarfs!

I forgot to say I don`t use it to prevent ear mites I use it to treat them

and only use it once or twice, but I really don`t think I`ll do it again you

convinced me{:> Y`all seem like a wealth of information, and I really

appreciate you sharing it.

Thanks

Sandra
