Not wanting to have Duke on prescription medications for the rest of his life, I went to the health food store to see what kind of natural things I could try to help alleviate his eczema. One of the things they suggested was tea tree oil, in that it would help the skin heal, keep infection out from where he's scratching, and also would have aromatherapy benefits.
After bath time I rubbed some on with his ointments and told him it was something new we were trying. A little bit later I asked him, "How does your neck feel? Can you describe what it feels like to me?"
He got this very pensive look on his face, trying to come up with the right words, and he said,
"It's kind of like the burning bush."

oh, ouch!! tea tree oil does sting a little! i use it on mosquito bites on ellison (keeps her from getting crazy welts). i've also found this lotion: http://www.puritan.com/tea-tree-oil-products-014/tea-tree-oil-lotion-15-percent-005390?NewPage=1
it's not as potent & i can put it on the girls as insect repellent. hope he feels better!
