Behold the Wonders of Tea Tree Oil

By on September 29, 2009


From the great land down under known as Australia, we can find the wondrous and effective Tea Tree Oil. The oil is derived from the Australian plant Melaleuca Alternifolia. You cannot find this plant anywhere else in the world as it is native only to this region.

The oil is harnessed by distilling the leaves of the Melaleuca Alternifolia plant, allowing the oil to separate from the plant, into a 100% pure concoction ready to go to work and treat whatever commonly ails you.

Australian Aborigines have been using the oil for centuries to help treat cold symptoms, mostly by inhaling the oil vapors from crushed leaves. It also has a strong antimicrobial effect when used to treat wounds, not to mention its strong impact on common skin ailments, such as acne.

It is renown for its powerful antifungal, antiseptic, and antibacterial characteristics. Its usually used in its purest form without diluting, but used in little does since it does not take much to achieve the healing effect.

Another great fact about the oil is its efficacy in treating the irritating condition Tinea Pedis, more commonly known as Athlete’s Foot. Its great for this since Tea Tree Oil has such strong antifungal properties, and Athletes foot is caused by a fungus named Trichophyton.

Its great on relieving scalp problems as well, such as dandruff. There are many types of shampoos that you can use that contain Tea Tree Oil which will help moisturize the scalp, instead of drying it out like most regular off the shelf shampoos do. A moisturized scalp is usually a healthy, flake free scalp.
