Anti-cancer activity of tea tree oil

From the news, Anti-cancer activity of tea tree oil
“We’ve known for a long time that tea tree oil has recognised health benefits, particularly its role in combating bacteria, fungi, and viruses” Dr Greay said.

“Although we and others have reported anti-cancer activity of tea tree oil against cells in vitro, no study has ever reported anti-tumour efficacy of tea tree oil in a preclinical cancer setting.
“We believe the formulation is crucial to prevent the evaporation and increase the penetration of tea tree oil through the skin

“So what this new research tells us is that tea tree oil, in the right formulation may also play a role as a clinically effective topical treatment for skin cancer in humans.

Is Your Home a Healthy Home?

It's alarming but true - scientists and doctors have discovered that there is a connection between our health and the use of common everyday household chemicals. If yours is the typical home, you probably use dozens of cleaning and personal care products, purchased at the local grocery store, which contain chemical ingredients that could be harmful to your health and the health of your loved ones.

As a mother, as a wife, we have to learn & know all this fact.

Accidental Poisoning
“More children under four die of accidental poisonings at home than are accidentally killed with guns at home.”
—National Safety Council

“Of chemicals commonly found in homes, 150 have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities.”
—Consumer Product Safety Commission

A 15-year study revealed that women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than women who work outside the home. This has been directly linked to the high concentration of harsh chemicals in the home.

Sincerely hope that every one of us have a healthy home and life by using a better safer and eco friendlier product!
