tea tree oil

X

Are there any snuffs that include tea tree oil? (not to be confused with teaberry )

C

It’s an interesting scent but I think it is toxic to take internally. Any snuff would probably have to use a synthetic copy. The closest snuffs I can think of are De Kralingse A/P and Bernard Fichtennadel. These have pine scents so not exactly the same as tea tree but close.

I’ve scented plain snuffs with tea tree essential oil which you can get in most pharmacies. I didn’t add it directly to the snuff to avoid toxicity issues. I just saturated half a q-tip with it and left that in the snuff tin overnight, but with a piece of plastic between it and the snuff to avoid direct contact. If the snuff absorbed the actual oil as well as the scent, then it did me no harm.

I sometimes rub a little around my nostrils when my sinuses are acting up. I’d imagine having some in some snuff would be a bit of the same. I’d be interested to know more about this as well if it exists.
