Just a tip

KitchenFairy — Wed, 26 Mar 2014 00:15:07 GMT

If you feel like you may be catching something do not put oils in your hair!!! Sunday night I didn't feel quite right but blamed my sinuses, only to wake up violently ill. The smell of TT oil on my scalp did absolutely nothing for my woes. I am just here to pass on my cautionary tale. Do not make my same mistake, ladies!

How are you feeling now?

Still not great. Nausea, aches and pains, and weak stomach are persisting. I saw the doctor tonight and was told it's the flu, which means I've been hit with it twice this winter. At least my hair looks good though! (Have to look on the bright side, right?)

I’m so sorry to hear that you are going through the flu a second time. I said a quick prayer for you. Maybe this time you will recover quicker that the last time. Having a smell associated with nausea is the worst. I had to stop using my fav bathroom cleaner because of that.

That sounds like a bad coincidence. I hope you get better soon.

Oh no! First Wen causes hair loss, then clogged drains and now the flu??? Hope you feel better!

Sorry to hear that and I hope you get well soon. The flu is miserable.

My story is the exact opposite, though. I had a cold and a sinus infection recently and I used the tea tree and sweet almond mint oils to rub into my temples, forehead, and cheek bones because the eucalyptus and mint worked like a mild Vicks VapoRub to sooth and help. I couldn't get enough of them and used them several times a day and before bed.

Thank you all. I just love this WENderful little group.

I still can't eat, but on the plus side I dropped a few pounds so it's given me a jump start on my beach body lol. I always try to laugh at the little things. Life is too short to take so seriously! I do, however, think I will be waiting a while before using TT oil on my scalp though.

I am so happy the oils helped you to deal with your illness. I HATE sinus infections. They are pretty miserable themselves.

Another great use for TT oil is insect bites. I had w!cked mosquito bites during the summer and a quick internet search told me plain old tea tree oil would alleviate my itching but I only had Wen TT oil so I gave it a shot. It was a MIRACLE!

Yes, having a smell associated with a bad event is awful!

I have a bad, sad, childhood memory associated with gardenias, and to this day can't bear to be around them - makes me violently ill.

Feel better soon.

KitchenFairy, thanks for the heads up about the Tea Tree on mosquito bites! I live in an area where we get a lot of West Nile Virus cases, so I always use a mosquito repellent when I'm outside, but last summer a mosquito got in my house and bit me three times before I was able to do away with it. I'll make note of this tip for next time!

I can imagine. I have had the worst cold now for over a week and can't imagine wearing that scent or any all night. Hope you are better!

Kitchen Fairy, thanks for this tip. I get a red mark the size of a nickel when a mosquito bites me. It looks awful. Since I've got both TT oil as well as the TT CC, the next time I get bit I'll try them out.
