Taurine
Taurineis a non-essential amino acid (can be manufactured by the body with proper nutrition). Taurine helps stabilize the excitability of membranes, which is very important in the control of epileptic seizures. Taurine and sulfur are considered to be factors necessary for the control of many biochemical changes that take place in the aging process. Taurine also aids in the clearing of free radical wastes.
Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil can be applied directly to the skin to stimulate regeneration of injuries and fight bacterial and fungal infection. It can also be used internally to fight infections. It is proven effective against bacteria that cause strep, staph, typhoid, diphtheria, pneumonia, meningitis and gonorrhea. It helps heal without scarring.
Thyme
Thymus vulgaris
Thyme is an invigorating digestive stimulant. Thyme is an important respiratory herb. It is helpful for both acute and chronic lung problems. Used with honey, it is a classic for fighting whooping cough and provides relief for sore throat, fever and congested lungs. Thyme also has a long reputation for helping uterine problems; thus, it was called "Mother Thyme." It encourages menstruation and reduces pain. It is even recommended before bedtime to avoid nightmares.
