TEA TREE can be used:
The TEA TREE (Melaleuca alternifolia) grows in only one region of the world, eastern Australia. It is a full size tree of the myrtle family, whose essential oil possesses many healthful properties. It gets its name from its use as a type of herbal tea, which is made from the leaves. The current knowledge of the plant's usefulness as a healing agent comes from the Australian Aborigines, who have a long history of using Tea Tree. The essential oil has gained popularity, in the last two decades, as an ingredient in shampoo, mouthwash, soap, toothpaste, and body massage oil. |
In 1923, an Australian curator and chemist, Dr. Penfold, conducted a study on Tea Tree leaves and discovered that their essential oils are 13 times stronger as an antiseptic bactericide than carbolic acid, considered the standard in the early 1900's. The oil contains 50% to 60% Terpenes, 6% to 8% Cineol, which causes its camphor-like odor, and several alcohols.
In 1933, The Australian Journal of Pharmacy, The American Journal of the National Medical Association, and The British Medical Journal reported that "Tea Tree oil is a powerful disinfectant, non-poisonous, non-irritating and has been used successfully in a very wide range of septic conditions." Australian Tea Tree oil is also mentioned in the British Pharmaceutical Codex of 1949, the U.K. Medicine List, the Dispensary of the U.S., and the Eclectic Materia Medica.
During World War II (WWII), Tea Tree oil was considered a standard issue item for all first aid kits for Army and Navy units in tropical regions. The demand for Tea Tree oil exceeded the supply. After WWII, synthetic drugs gained in popularity and the use of Tea Tree oil as an antiseptic bactericide in medicine waned.
In more recent times, a renewed interest in natural, non-toxic alternatives has triggered a resurgence in Tea Tree oil research. In 1985, Dr. Paul Belaiche, Chief of the Phytotherapy Department at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Paris, worked on several double-blind studies involving Tea Tree oil and its application as a remedy for candidiasis, chronic cystitis, staphylococcus, and streptococcus infections, and nail bed fungus. He stated, "the essential oil of Melaleuca has joined the team of major essential oils, and emerges as an antiseptic and antifungal weapon of the first order in phyto-aromatherapy."
Tea Tree is a powerful immunostimulant, increasing the immune system's ability to fight disease. Aromatherapists recommend having Tea Tree available because of its antiseptic action against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Tea Tree oil can be applied to disinfect cuts and wounds, pimples, and fungal infections. It is soothing to the skin and mucous membranes, and it is also effective as an insect repellant.
Tea Tree can be effective on pets as well, and is known to kill fleas and ticks. Gargling with two drops in a glass of warm water improves sore throats and a few drops rubbed on the chest or back, or used in an inhaler, helps relieve nasal congestion. It is one of the few essential oils that can be applied directly to the skin without dilution.
Tea Tree oil has also been used in a diluted form topically for diaper rash, eczema, psoriasis, insect bites, and poison ivy. Simply add one teaspoon of tea tree oil to one-eighth cup of an oil such as almond oil. Apply to affected areas with a cotton ball or soft cloth. To relieve athlete's foot, one or two drops can be applied directly to the affected area.
Note: Many individuals may be sensitive to the components of Tea Tree Oil, so care should be used to avoid tender areas. Initially, only a small amount should be applied to determine any sensitivity. If you experience itching or develop a rash, discontinue use immediately. While Tea Tree leaves have been used as a beverage component, the highly concentrated 100% Tea Tree Oil in TTO-Pure is not meant to be taken internally.
