The Benefits Of Tea Tree Oil For Your Skin

Tea tree oil is an essential oil which is yellow- or green-tinged
with a fresh amphoraceous smell. It is produced by steam
distillation of the leaves of the plant - Melaleuca alternifolia,
more commonly known as the Australian tea tree. As the name
suggests, the trees are native to Australia and have been used
for thousands of years by the aboriginals in Australia for
healing wounds, cuts, abrasions, burns and infections by applying
the crushed leaves to the affected areas.

These days the tea tree oil is being used as an antiseptic to
treat burns, cuts, insect bites etc. It has anti-inflammatory
properties and hence can be used as a topical application to give
relief in conditions like arthritis, eczema, bursitis and gout.It
can also give relief from pain because of its analgesic property.
The oil is also anti-fungal. In some hospitals in Australia, it
has been used before surgery to boost the affected immune system
and in a London hospital, a study has been done and it was shown
that the Tea Tree Oil can be an alternative to Vancomysin in
countering the super bug methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus
aureus (MRSA). Tea tree oil when inhaled makes breathing easier
by acting as a decongestant. It can alleviate symptoms of sore
throat and decrease the symptoms of cold and flu.

SKIN

The Tea tree oil has many uses for the skin. Its proven
antifungal properties can be used to treat candidacies, ringworm,
athlete's foot and thrush. It can also be used to treat dandruff
because it fights Malassezia furfur, which is most common cause
for this affliction. Fungal nail infections can be cured by
application of a formulation containing tea tree oil twice daily
and relief can be typically seen in 3-4 months.

As a strong anti-viral agent, Tea Tree is effective in fighting
many common infectious diseases such as cold, shingles, measles,
flu and chicken pox.

Tea tree oil is effective in treating boils, insect bites, minor
wounds, soothe inflammation caused by sunburn poison ivy and bee
stings.

The essential oil is also known to prevent foul body odor and
soothe burning feet. It reduces scarring caused by hypertrophy.
When massaged, tea tree oil may alleviate the discomfort of joint
injuries and sore muscles.

It can also be used in the treatment of acne. When topically
applied, a 5% solution of tea tree oil has been proved as
effective as 5% benzoyl peroxide though it had a slower onset of
action.

The oil can be used effectively for treating nappy/Diaper rash in
babies, which is cause.

Research has also shown that tea tree oil may have topical
anti-viral property, with the Herpes virus, chicken pox, cold
sores, warts, and shingles blisters, etc.

A word of caution; though tea tree oil is safe to use, it should
not be used undiluted as in case of all essential oils. Undiluted
Tea Tree Oil can cause irritation, itchiness, and redness on
sensitive skin. Therefore, in case of people with sensitive skin,
it is prudent to dilute the tea tree oil in another base oil like
olive oil or even sunflower oil.
