Teangi Tea Tree


For a few years of Paige's school life (she may hate me for this) she was plagued by her friend's friends, not the friends you invite into your homes, but the unwelcome lodgers that decide to come home with you via a ride in your hair. Yes start to scratch as I am going to bug you with my head lice tales.

Conor never had any problems, Paige was about seven, I suppose I was lucky as this was a good age to be and she had avoided them. Her hair was long and luscious, we daily had it it in whatever style she loved, a bit up and a bit down, french plaits, tied up in rags to give lovely curls. Then came the bugs....eww i cringe just remembering them. 

I decided straight way she was not going to have the chemical cure and prevention, I had previously seen a friends daughter have a full blown asthma attack and I did not want my children to have any side effects.
So I started the long laborious process of conditioner and nit comb. This process works however Paige would become reinfested by the friends who'sMum's did not get rid of all the nasties. So it became a real pain!

Then googling for natural cures, I stumbled on Tea Tree being a prevention, so I bought a bottle of shampoo and conditioner with a high concentrate of Tea Tree oil and tried it. It worked. No more combing,no late nights keeping Paige up to rid her of the pests, no more scratching, just a weekly wash of shampoo on a Sunday night and Paige never had head lice again.

The brand I used was  Tisserand,who sadly do not make this any more, they have a shampoo but is mixed with other herbs.

So I give you Teangi. 

As a stand alone healthy hair and scalp range its great. But as a preventative for head lice it works. Having given it to my friend who has reported three weeks clear, I am pleased there is still a cure out there.

Tea Tree has long been recognised as a major bathroom essential and the newly renamed Teangi range from LanesHealth is the perfect solution to many irritating conditions.


With the worries of itchy flaky scalps, lice, nappy rash, cuts, and insect bites affecting most parents with young children at some point, the TeangiTea Tree range is an effective, soothing solution.

The Tea Tree shrub is native to a small region in northern New South Wales Australia and the oil is recognised as a powerful healing ingredient around the world. It has several well-established properties that provide the basis for its special soothing effects: natural antibacterial, natural antiseptic, anti-fungal and insect repellent.

Teangi is an ancient aboriginal name meaning ‘earth’. Aboriginals believed that the association of every living thing is not just an idea but a way of life. LanesHealth have chosen the name Teangi – pronounced Tea-angi - to accentuate the sacred, elemental source of Tea Tree’s healing power.

Today, the Teangi range offers nature’s power for the bathroom. Free from parabens, artificial colours and fragrances, Teangi is a range of essential products:

  • Teangi Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Cream to effectively treat and relieve stings, cuts, minor burns, nappy rash and other minor skin conditions;
  • Teangi Tea Tree Oil 100% pure pharmaceutical grade Tea Tree oil;
  • Teangi Tea Tree Shampoo a paraben-free medicated and PH balanced formula, with natural anti-tangling ingredients to make combing easier. Helps keep the scalp clean and healthy and free from dandruff;
  • Tea Tree Conditioner a paraben-free, SLES-free nourishing leave-in treatment to keep hair perfectly hydrated, moisturised and shiny. 
So whatever your need, Teangi is a natural, essential collection for the whole family from head to toe.  Jon Groves, Spokesperson for LanesHealth says that, “The new design and brand name bring a contemporary feel to  the range, whilst continuing to focus on the beneficial natural healing qualities that tea tree is known for, and which make it the perfect solution for all families.”
