Good morning everyone. I have discovered a new aromatherapy company that is Australian owned and is 100% organic.  I learned about it from a Budget Organics website after receiving an e-mail from them.

The aromatherapy company name is ECO Aroma. Their competitors in Australia are doTerra and Young Living Oils which are all MLM. Theres no fancy labelling and overheads are kept down to pass on savings to consumers.

I learned from an aromatherapist once that inorganic oils are just a nice smell in a bottle and have no therapeutic value because they are so diluted and manufacturing methods which render them ineffective. He said he once bought tea tree from the chemist to fix tinea on his feet which did not work. He then tried an organic essential oil and it worked. He stated he has no financial interests in essential oil companies So yes they (conventional oils) don't deliver results.

Anyway thought I'd mention. I will look into it some more at a later date

I need a haircut @Former-Member Saw a Mormon who was doing free haircuts. My hair is a basic cut. I don't mind talking about Jesus as I still acknowledge him as an avatar but won't be looking at regular visits from The Church of Mormon. Had all my friends in the Salvation Army growing up so its ok with me. Maybe theres something I could offer him in return worth the same amount? I will think of something

Abstract
Tea tree oil (an essential oil derived primarily from the Australian native Melaleuca alternifolia) has been used as a topical antiseptic agent since the early part of this century for a wide variety of skin infections; however, to date, the evidence for its efficacy in fungal infections is still largely anecdotal. One hundred and four patients completed a randomized, double-blind trial to evaluate the efficacy of 10% w/w tea tree oil cream compared with 1% tolnaftate and placebo creams in the treatment of tinea pedis. Significantly more tolnaftate-treated patients (85%) than tea tree oil (30%) and placebo-treated patients (21%) showed conversion to negative culture at the end of therapy (p < 0.001); there was no statistically significant difference between tea tree oil and placebo groups. All three groups demonstrated improvement in clinical condition based on the four clinical parameters of scaling, inflammation, itching and burning. The tea tree oil group (24/37) and the tolnaftate group (19/33) showed significant improvement in clinical condition when compared to the placebo group (14/34; p = 0.022 and p = 0.018 respectively). Tea tree oil cream (10% w/w) appears to reduce the symptomatology of tinea pedis as effectively as tolnaftate 1% but is no more effective than placebo in achieving a mycological cure. This may be the basis for the popular use of tea tree oil in the treatment of tinea pedis."

apparently tea tree oil treats the symptoms, its not a cure. who knew.

prob other studies around, first one I saw
