It's no secret that we live in a fallen world filled with viruses, bacteria and toxins. The world we live in is infected with all sorts of harmful organisms and the rates of illness are increasing. Our constantly polluted environment is a huge reason but only one among many. In spite of the causes, God has provided an abundant supply of natural resources to assist us with preventing and curing illness. You need not always turn to pharmaceuticals for aid.
Tea Tree Essential Oil is one natural resource you need to pay attention to.
Tea Tree Essential Oil has specific properties associated with it that I like to call the "Anti" benefits. These benefits are so powerful that they can help boost your immune system by combating and protecting your body from invaders. (Side note: The FDA requires me to state that the statements I am about to make have not been proven by their organization. However, they have also not been disproven by them.)
Tea Tree Oil "Anti" Benefits
Anti-bacterial: Tea Tree Oil inhibits and kills the growth of bacteria. Wounds have been treated for centuries with this natural resource and continues to be effective at curing bacterial infections. Tea Tree Oil is not often taken orally but it can be done in a diluted form to clear up internal bacterial infections.
Anti-fungal: Used to treat fungal infections like Athlete's Foot, oil from the Tea Tree destroys and prevents the growth of fungi which is slightly different from bacteria. Fungi are typically multicellular and absorb their food from whatever they grow on while bacteria are single celled organisms that multiply quickly and can live on almost any surface.
Antimicrobial: Tea Tree Essential oil can kill certain microbes in the bacteria, protozoa, fungi and algae family. It's an excellent source of help while your body's own immune system is doing its own work.
Antiseptic: The oil of the Tea Tree is an excellent choice for cleansing wounds that may become infected if not otherwise addressed since it prevents the growth of micro-organisms.
Antitoxin: Stimulating your body's sweat glands to increase sweating, Tea Tree Essential Oil helps promote the removal of toxins from the body through the skin, a major detoxifying mechanism.
Antiviral: Viruses are simple organisms that need a living host to survive. However, once they have invaded their host, they can develop a protect shell called a "cyst" to survive. Tea Tree Essential Oil can be used to help rupture this protective cyst and then provide your body with protection from them.
It's very important to consider the source and history of any drug, remedy or treatment. Tea Tree Oil has been around for decades and isn't going anywhere as long as God is still growing Tea Trees. Tea Tree Essential Oil is extracted from the leaves of the Tea Tree by the process of steam distillation and has a very long history of effectiveness treating an extensive number of health problems. Some of the health problems resolved by Tea Tree Oil include healing wounds, curing viral infections, prohibiting fungus growth, and easing pain from muscular aches.
Scientists manufacture artificial substances that us consumers have no idea where from. These particular drugs that are being introduced and approved by the FDA are not always thoroughly tested and many times one does not know until all of the lawsuits pop up that the drug is not safe for human consumption. Tea Tree Essential Oil has no potent or life threatening side effects. Consider your source.
