More Tea Tree Vicar?
This is a fairly random post, but I have not yet imparted my opinion of Tea Tree.
No family home should actually be without this marvellous thing.
A good quality tea tree cream is what you need in your medicine box, for bites, cuts, stings, thrush (not the oral kind....ahem) cold sores, itchy stuff and all manner of physical discomforts.
For all of you that have young children, make no mistake when say that you will be, or please feel free to confirm that you have been, subject to the common Nit/Head louse infestation that plagues schools.
The single most effective and non-recurrence generating way to deal with the problem, ie not using things that help to breed immune beasties, is to use ordinary shampoo and conditioner, with just a few drops of good quality tea tree oil and a few of lavender oil in each 'serving', and just comb the gasping pests out with a nit comb. It is remarkable in it's instant effectiveness, and it also leaves a protection on the hair that wards anymore of the little darlings off.
The finest product I have found so far, for both tea tree cream and the quality of the oils can be found at justuk.net
Everything they sell is top notch and well worth the cost.
Just a little something for anyone who might be interested.

I'm a tea tree fan too, I've mentioned original sources mint and tea tree on more than occasion! Combing out the lice is definitely the safest way. There is anecdotal links between lice treatments and leukemia, in the same way that MMR and autism are linked.
Another fan here. Used it for years for various things and always use it on my daughters extremely, down to her bottom, long hair. We use a detector comb once a week and so far, so good, touch wood.
and another ex hubby of a great fan here! ...oil dear, oil, forget the cream.
I just use whatever happens to be within reach when I'm in the bath. Occasionally this means tea tree oil shampoo and it seems to be one of the better ones.
I mustn't say too much or I'll lose my membership of the Northern Middle Aged Men Association!
I can't tell you lot anything can I?.........
Ahh! Perhaps this will be a new one on you.
Tea tree is doubly effective when mixed with Manuca oil (also Australian), as in the case of Justrich's Tea Tree Cream (Span!)
It's the bollocks, frankly.
(It'll sort that thrush out Mags!)
