Anyone using topical Tea Tree Oil

I'm finding conflicting information about using topical tea tree oil. I will ask the doctor about it, but was wondering if anyone is currently using it or has heard about its' safety.

    Tea tree oil is great for treating lots of "issues" naturally. In the salon I work in, we recommend using it on toe nail fungus, scalp conditions, even putting it in your bath water when you're congested. It can be overwhelming and very strong if you use too much. I would assume it's totally safe for you to use while pregnant, but you're dr might not. While being 100 percent natural, it is powerful.

    I had gotten some tea tree gel from The Body Shop to put on my chest pimples, but it didn't seem to work too well.  I didn't confirm with the doctor, but it seemed to be safer than salicylic acid or benzyol peroxide.  Wish I could find something to get rid of this chestne!

    I got the okay for Paul Mitchel tee tree shampoo for my psoriasis on my scalp because I can't use any prescriptions due to the steroids in them.

    I am personally still using it as needed ,but diluting it with a carrier oil so it is not as strong. I am more sensitive to certain odors, now that I am pregnant.

    Here are a list of oils I am avoiding during pregnancy (not that I really use that many.  I mostly stick to lavender, peppermint and tea tree).  Of course, ask your doc and do what you feel comfortable with. GL!

     

    Anise
    Bay
    Basil
    Camphor
    Caraway
    Carrot
    Cedarwood
    Cinnamon
    Clary Sage
    Clove
    Comfrey

    		Cypress
    Fennel
    Hyssop
    Jasmine
    Juniper
    Marjoram
    Mugwort
    Myrrh
    Nutmeg
    Oregano
    Pennyroyal
    Rosemary 
    Sage
    Sassafras
    Tansy
    Thuja

    P.S. I don't apply the lavender or peppermint to my skin.  I just use it for aromatherapy when I have nausea or need to relax.
