TEA TREE 
THis  has antiseptic, antiviral, antifungal and immunostimulant properties. The Essential Oil is made from distilling the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, which is grown in Australia. Captain Cook found it being used by the native aboriginals, and it was used during both world wars as "a medicine kit in a bottle".  Tea tree has a refreshing, clean aroma. Undiluted, it can be used sparingly on intact skin and nails and there is low incidence of allergy. It is safe for use in patients with diabetes and can be diluted for use on children. It blends well with Lavender, Lemon and Ravensara.

LEMON AND TEA TREE OIL A popular blend for foot problems because the two oils combine to powerfully have antiviral and immunostimulant properties. Podiatrists suggest patients apply this to verrucae twice daily.

LAVENDER AND TEA TREE OIL The antiseptic, antifungal and antiviral properties make it helpful to problem nails. Apply one a day.

WART REMOVER Supplied in a convenient roll on for easy application this can be applied to verrucae twice a day. Ravensara has antiviral properties and aromaterapists apply this oil directly to warts and verrucae.

MARIGOLD FOOT CREAM
