Tea Tree Essential Oil for Sore Throat or Cough

The “Tea Tree Lick”: Just put a drop of the oil on your little finger (the finger which is least likely to be rubbed in your eyes) and suck it off. Do this every 5-10 minutes until your sore throat is gone. This works best when done at the first sign of sore throat.

Tea Tree oil doesn't taste as bad as one would think, but if you are someone who can't stand the taste, try sticking your finger as far back in your mouth as possible where your taste buds are less sensitive to the taste. My 7 and 5 year old will ask for a "Tea Tree Lick" when they have a sore throat. If they can put up with the taste then so can you. :) It really works and is worth doing to avoid getting a severe sore throat or cough. Using E.O.B.B.D. certified Tea Tree Essential oil in a "Tea Tree Lick" is safe and without any unwanted, harmful side effects.

Note: Ingesting essential oils can be dangerous! Please, please, please ONLY use E.O.B.B.D certified essential oils in a "Tea Tree Lick". Other oils which do not have this certification can be adulterated with harmful fillers and can even be toxic. Most essential oils have a warning on the bottle not to ingest them. Only E.O.B.B.D certified Tea Tree oil is safe to be used in a "Tea Tree Lick".

All Ancient Legacy oils are E.O.B.B.D. certified, which is why they are the only essential oils I would trust or recommend using in the ways I described above. To read more about why E.O.B.B.D certification is so important, click here.
