[Everything doTERRA] Re: Reaction to Melaleuca

Wanted to make sure you knew you weren't alone in the crazy reaction category :-) I too, as well as a few others, have all been drawn to this wonderful company b/c of our crazy reactions to all kinds of things, and yes from time to time that means an oil as well. Hang in there are remember to ALWAYS dilute! Then if there's no problem, you can try a little more concentrated :-)

Have any of you ever heard of anyone having a reaction to melaleuca?
I am now certain I am reacting to it!  I have had several instances where I applied Melaleuca topically (both neat & with FCO) with one other oil and then experienced severe swelling &/or rash. The other night I applied Melaleuca & Lavender (neat) to a blemish on my temple area before I went to bed. I woke up with a large, red raised swollen area on my entire temple. The swelling increased and it became itchy & painful as the day passed. It's still swollen & sore this am & the swelling is now affecting my eye area. I tried using ice packs last night, but it really did not help with the swelling. I also used lemon in my water all day. My upline advised I report this reaction to product support.  ( I do have very sensitive skin & I am allergic to Triple Antibiotic -neosporin- Ointment.)
I welcome any advice? Pat?
