Tea Tree Oil History, Benefits and Uses
The tea tree, from which tea tree oil derives its common name, is native
to Australia and has long been used in traditional medicine. It is one of the
most remarkable and versatile of chemicals. What makes tea tree oil unique is
that it is effective against bacteria, fungi and viruses and used in to treat a
number of skin conditions from eczema to acne to cuts. Few other substances
share this important distinction. With its antiseptic and antibacterial
properties, tea tree oil is often used to treat burns, ringworm, insect bites,
wounds, infections and other fungal diseases including colds, flu, chicken pox
and shingles, as well as cold sores and warts.
When using tea tree oil it is important to remember
that the concentrated oil is very strong. It is important never to use large
amounts of the concentrated oil, and not to treat sensitive areas with the
concentrated oil.
