4. Use Melaleuca Oil as a First Aid Ointment
Melaleuca oil, which is extracted from flowers with the same name, definitely deserves a spot in your essential oil kit.
This oil can be used as a first aid ointment, and it offers relief for bug bites, skin irritations, athlete’s foot, psoriasis and eczema.
Melaleuca can also support your throat and respiratory system, along with offering a boost to your immune system. In a pinch, Melaleuca can be used in place of the Protective Blend to help with removing splinters.
