Tea Tree Essential Oil Uses and Benefits
The health benefits of Tea Tree Essential Oil can be attributed to its properties as an antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antiviral, balsamic, cicatrisant, expectorant, fungicide, insecticide, stimulant, and sudorific substance. Tea tree oil is one of the most extensively researched essential oils, and one of the most backed by the findings and conclusions discovered from the studies done on it. It is produced from a shrubby-like tree by the name of Melaleuca alternifolia, which is found along streams and in swampy areas in its native land of Australia.
Tea tree essential oil has been used for acne, boils, abscesses, ringworm, athlete’s foot, oily skin, minor wounds, inflamed skin, and staph infections, as it is believed to kill pathogenic organisms found on the skin without harming the skin’s natural balance.
For respiratory infections, tea tree essential oil is a must. With its antibiotic and antiviral properties, it has been used to help the body fight colds and flu, sinus infections, bronchitis, cough, sore throat, and earache. For respiratory inhalations, a traditional favorite is to blend it with lemon and eucalyptus and/or thyme.
The stimulant property of tea tree essential oil can be very beneficial for taking care of certain hair conditions. If you suffer from dandruff or hair loss, simply apply a diluted amount of tea tree essential oil to your scalp. The increased blood flow that you experience will help your follicles stay healthy and strengthen the hold on your hair, so you won’t suffer from premature hair loss. Also, since the skin will become healthier, it will be easier to keep moisturized, reducing the amount of dandruff and dry skin!
