What Are The Benefits of Tea Tree Essential Oil?

The Many Benefits of Tea Tree

Botanical name: Melaleuca Alternifolia

This super versatile essential oil is produced from a shrub-like tree that primarily grows along the swampy areas and streams of Australia.

First Aid in a Bottle!

The numerous tea tree oil uses were well known among the native Australian aboriginals, who used the oil found in the tea tree leaves to treat countless conditions. Passing their knowledge down from generation to generation, the use of tea tree oil today is as popular as ever.

Tea tree oil contains hydrocarbons that can travel through pores in the skin, which is why tea tree oil is often used in aromatherapy and topically to kill germs, soothe skin inflammation, and fight infections.

Acne Be Gone!

One of the most well-known uses of tea tree oil is in treating acne. Along with fighting bacteria’s, the terpenes in tea tree oil work to penetrate the pores to loosen up clogged oil and dirt that cause blackheads, whiteheads, and painful red acne lesions and breakouts.

Antibacterial, Antiviral, Antifungal…

Skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema can all be treated using tea tree oil. Applying a small amount of tea tree oil to affected skin can help by soothing the skin, as well as moisturising the area without causing any added irritation or rashes.

The antifungal properties of tea tree oil will also help to kill fungus. Along with helping the affected skin with its antibacterial properties, the natural antiviral properties help to prevent any infections from spreading.
