Tea Tree for the knees

I did a long run last Saturday and it was killing my knees. A couple hours later I decided to use some oils. I used 3 drops of Tea Tree between both knees with some coconut oil for my carrier oil. The pain was gone almost instantly, but it didn't seem to last long - only about an hour. My friend said the oils effectiveness lasts longer when you blend them, so next time I may try combining a couple. Here is Kalani's blog www.anewyouhealthy.blogspot.com

Welcome

First post! I hope we'll all be able to contribute to and learn from this blog. I'll start out with our experience using tea tree oil for teething.

My daughter's been having an awful bout of teething. She's fussy and not sleeping well. Last night we tried the tea tree oil. She gagged and cried, because it tastes awful. But, a couple of minutes later, she went peacefully to sleep and slept until 6:30. Definitely an improvement. Awesome.

And, I'm also excited because tea tree oil is supposed to be good for acne. Win win win.
