You may want to double check the oil you purchased to be sure it is 100% Essential Oil of Tea Tree. If it is a "blend", or if it says "fragrance" or if it lists any other ingredient on the bottle besides tea tree oil, I would beware. There are a lot of fakes out there, and a lot of very poor products touting to be tea tree oil that are high priced and actually have already been cut with a carrier. These are not what you need. Good eo of tea tree has just a very mild "menthol" effect, and even used undilute is safe, according to "The Essential Oils Book" by Colleen Dodt. The direct quote says, "Tea tree is safe to use neat on even the most delicate parts of the body . . . there is NO other essential oil I would recommend applying in this manner". I have <!--more--> used it straight on my face, and I have used it to treat vaginal yeast infections quickly and very effectively without diluting (and hey, talk about a delicate part of the body!). If you feel you must dilute it, though, and you are using it on your face, I would use grapeseed oil as the carrier oil due to the non-comedigenic properties(won't clog pores). You would mix this as 1/2 ounce grapeseed oil and 6 drops of pure essential oil of tea tree. You can use this daily. You don't want to get it in your eyes, but if the oil is good quality, it should not burn or make your eyes water heavily. If you don't want to dilute it in oil, you could dilute it in warm water and apply with a washcloth or sponge. I've had some experience with these things, and I recommend the book cited above for some good home recipes and good information.

I heard about the cancer scare I believe it was on the news in 20004 or 2005. I never renewed the prescription because it didn't work on my eczema anyway. Terri I never liked this stuff, but then again, I'm anti-cortizone too. K Raine wrote: 2 Eczema creams required to carry new cancer warnings WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (Xinhuanet) -- Two prescription creams to treat <!--more--> eczema will have to carry "black box" warnings about possible cancer risks, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said Thursday. The FDA action, in accordance with its advisory committee recommendation last February, affects Novartis AG's Elidel and Astellas Pharma Inc.'s Protopic. "Black box" warning is the strongest type used in the United States. The new labels are also required to clarify that both treatments are recommended for use only after other prescription topical medicines have been tried first. The FDA decision is based on reports of cancers, including skin cancer and lymphoma, in patients using the two drugs. There had been reports of 78 cases as of last October. However, no evidence has yet established a clear link between the drugs and human cancer risk.

both creams at different times. I heard about the cancer scare I believe it was
on the news in 20004 or 2005. I never renewed the prescription because it didn’t
work on my eczema anyway.

I never liked this stuff, but then again, I’m anti-cortizone too.

2 Eczema creams required to carry new cancer warnings

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (Xinhuanet) — Two prescription creams to treat

eczema will have to carry "black box" warnings about possible cancer
risks, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said Thursday.

The FDA action, in accordance with its advisory committee recommendation
last February, affects Novartis AG’s Elidel and Astellas Pharma Inc.’s
Protopic. "Black box" warning is the strongest type used in the United
States.

The new labels are also required to clarify that both treatments are
recommended for use only after other prescription topical medicines have
been tried first.

The FDA decision is based on reports of cancers, including skin cancer
and lymphoma, in patients using the two drugs. There had been reports of
78 cases as of last October. However, no evidence has yet established a
clear link between the drugs and human cancer risk.

Novartis and Astellas continued to defend the safety of their products,
but agreed to make the requested changes in labelling. Meanwhile, the
companies are conducting long-term safety studies.

manufacturers of both drugs to try to answer questions about cancer
risk, it could be many years before the research is concluded."
