Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I developed severe scalp itching. It started gradually with out any apparent reason. It has been bad enough that I was scratching sores. No rash on scalp from hair care products. No rash or itching in any other places that could indicate problem with detergent, dryer sheets and body soap. Frequent changes of shampoo and conditioner were useless. The only relief I had was after using conditioner with zinc. I had to use it nearly every day. I was reluctant to be stuck using that forever. I went on line looking for something to help me out. I noticed many people saying to add a few drops of tea tree oil to shampoo, conditioner, hot oil treatment and regular oil for daily use. I used a local (and more expensive) store brand. After testing my skin with a few drops of full strength tea tree oil I started adding a few (5-6) drops of tea tree oil in 4 ounces of shampoo, conditioner and oil. The results were great. My scratching declined to non existent. I started washing daily then every other day and now I'm back to weekly average. I saw that this is a natural insect repellent, so the coconut and olive oils I purchased for daily use is subbing for my usual and more expensive body oil. I got this larger amount of pure tea tree oil because of my multiple used. PLEASE NOTE: there are multiple persons advocating using this in animal and people shampoo for use on dogs and cats to repel insects and more. Many essential oils are used on pets causing them to be a rising risk for pet poisoning. Talk with your vet before experimenting.
