The Puffer Forum

Hi

I know someone post a thread like this before. I'm searching for this option since it's hard to find melafix around here and when I find it that's very expensive.

I've read original melafix would be made of Cajuput oil (Melaleuca leucadendron) instead of Tea Tree oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia) like everybody say. Knowing all of these informations, I found that Tea Tree Oil is much more skin infections/irritations related to than Cajuput Oil, as you can see below:

Tea Tree Oil Properties: Tea tree essential oil is considered by many aromatherapists as a universal oil because of the many characteristics. Melaleuca alternifolia is antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral and has been proven strong against many infectious agents. Tea tree essential oil is also an immunostimulant and helps strengthen the body's natural defenses.

Cajuput Oil Properties: antiseptic, antispasmodic, antineuralgic, antirheumatic, decongestant.

So, the 1,0% Tea Tree Oil recipe is much more helpful than if it would be made of Cajuput Oil.

Am I right?
