Common Uses: Tea Tree essential oil is best known as a very powerful immune stimulant. It can help to fight all three categories of infectious organisms such as Bacteria, Fungi, and Viruses, and there is evidence that Tea Tree oil massage prior to an operation may help to fortify the body and reduce post-operative shock.

Used in vapor therapy, Tea Tree oil can help with colds, measles, sinusitis and viral infections. For skin and hair, Tea Tree has been used to combat acne, oily skin, head lice and dandruff.

As essential oils have become more accepted by the public, the use of Tea Tree has increased significantly. This can be readily evidenced by the commercial products now using Tea Tree essential oil.

History: The aboriginal people of Australia have long used Tea tree oil; similarly, Tea tree has a long history of use within the field of aromatherapy.

The oil was a highly valued product as it was issued to each soldier and sailor as part of their kit in order to treat tropical infections and infected wounds.

Cautions: Tea Tree essential oil may cause dermal sensitization in some people. Do not take internally.

This essential oil is ESSENTIAL to have! Our family uses it for most of our skin irritations, such as; cuts, burns, insect bites, cold sores, etc. When mixed with a carrier oil and warm water, it makes a Great Foot soak!

Besides Lavender, Tea Tree is probably the most useful oil in all of the essential oils.

It is a definite MUST HAVE for any aromatherapist. And especially for one just starting out.

The properties are many and this oil does not have to be diluted every time it is used as most E.O.s are. It can be used neat. But still should be diluted as it could cause sensitization in some.

It is a most versatile Australian oil and is claimed by some to be a medicine chest in a bottle.

It is non-toxic and non-irritant but with possible sensitization in some individuals. Use for abrasions, abscesses, acne, antiseptic, athlete's foot, blisters, burns, cold sores, cuts, head lice, insect bites, laundry antiseptic, nappy rash, scalds, septic wounds, thrush, etc. (Also known as Melasol, Narrow-Leaved Paperbark Tea Tree, Ti-Tree, Ti-Trol.)
