Tea Tree Oil is an essential oil
distilled from the leaves of the Australian Tree - Melaleuca alternifoia.
Its' powerful antibacterial, antiseptic, and antifungal properties make
this oil very versatile. In laboratory tests, tea tree oil effectively
killed a number of the bacteria and fungi most commonly found in skin
infections and acne, including Candida albicans, Escherichia
coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Staphylococcus epidermidis and Propionibacterium acnes.
In healthy volunteers, a tea tree oil extract was able to reduce inflammation
caused by histamine injections. Tea Tree Oil is often used for
treating minor skin problems, such as preventing infections of cuts
and scratches or to topically treat acne, cold sores, or fungal problems.
Tea Tree Oil dissolves lumps of white blood cells, which make up pus,
making it easier for the body to fight infection. Tea Tree Oil is used
in many products that are convenient to have in your home first aid
kit and many of these products you can make yourself with a few simple
ingredients. One of the most versatile products is Tea Tree Salve which
you can use for minor cuts and scratches, on fungal infections of the
skin, and also to alleviate itching from insect bites.
