Melaleuca (Ericifolia) Essential Oil

I wanedt to buy some Mealeuca oil and put it in my diffuser. But then, I came across three different kinds. What are the differences? What is the best to eradicate staph and strep?
Does anyone work in aromatherapy? How effective is it? Is there a good book.manual where I can look up what oils are best for what problems? We deal with a lot of strep and staph in our house.

What can I do next?

I work with essential oils all the time and I am not familar with these oils.

But as far as killing germs you can boil rosemary in water -- let cool -- strain and put in a trigger spray bottle and use that to wipe down surfaces. Disinfects as well as any commercial cleaner.

I use essential oils on a daily basis. I have largely moved away from tea tree oil, but it does serve it's purpose when used in a proper manner.
I wouldn't diffuse tea tree oil, but have you heard of Thieves oil? It's a blend of different essential oils and it works so very well in a diffuser.
My mom is a part of the Young Living company (she doesn't sell it, just uses her membership to get a discount) and I get my oils from her, but there are other companies that sell a similar blend OR you can buy the oils separately from the company of your choice. Here is a link to the Young Living oil and their ingredient list. http://www.youngliving.com/thieves-essential-oil/Thieves-Oil

Best of luck to you! Young Living also makes a Thieves cleaner. Great stuff! It's expensive, but I do splurge on it once in awhile. :)
