Digest Number 1453 - tea tree & diabetes

[Guest guest]

Have to giggle about this one!

 

One of my clients is diabetic with high BP. He not only grows tea tree on his

'farm' but uses it as well. Not affecting him at all!

 

As with all oils caution is a good watchword, but we must also work out whether

the tea tree used is high in cineole or terpinol-4. Possibly there are people

allergic to one or the other.

 

Hate the smell of tea tree (lavender also), but wouldn't be without it. I buy

it from my client by the litre. The hydrosol is terrific on dogs when they are

washed. Fleas aren't too keen, but also heals wounds in working dogs. Keep to

the standard precautions of spraying away from face and genitals (applies to

humans as well), although if it is poured into the rinse water that can be

difficult.
