My family loves Melaleuca essential oil. My girls can go through a bottle during the summer just putting it on their bug bites. Melaleuca oil, also know as tea tree oil, has been used for centuries by many cultures to heal wounds and skin infections. It is steam distilled from myrtle shrubs and trees.
