Spicy, clean
medicinal scent - powerful antiseptic against virus, fungi &
bacteria



A potent anti-infective, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antiviral,
expectorant, fungicide, and parasiticide. Good for athlete's foot,
bronchial congestion, dandruff, insect bites, ringworm, and yeast
infections. It's effective against bacteria, fungi, and viruses,
including those that cause flu, colds, herpes blisters, shingles, candida,
thrush, and chicken pox. As a bonus, it stimulates the immune system
and increases the production of white blood cells. It is mostly used
to treat mouth, urinary tract, and vaginal infections, but it hastens the
healing of wounds, diaper rash, acne, and insect bites. It protects
the skin from radiation burns, encourages the regeneration of scar tissue,
and reduces swelling. The presence of blood and pus from infection
increase its antiseptic properties. Use it in compresses, salves,
massage oil, and aromatherapy washes. Cosmetically, it can be found
in shampoos and skin care products as an oil-controlling agent.
Tea Tree essential
oil has been used in many countries, including the United States with
tremendous success. Tea Tree is "grandfathered" in this country
because it's positive effects were known long before other essential oils
were introduced and the use of essential oils were introduced and the use
of essential oils because popular as a holistic method.
In recent research, Tea Tree Oil
was tested for use with several different fungal infections, including
candida. Tea Tree Oil was
tested on twenty-six strains of various skin organisms, 54 yeasts as
well as twenty-two different other strains of fungi. Tea Tree Oil
inhibited growth of all of the fungi.

DESCRIPTION:
|
Our
Tea Tree essential oil is distilled from the Melaleuca alternifolia plant,
commonly known as "medicinal tea tree." and is imported from
Australia. The leaves of this medium-size Australian tree looks
similar to its relative, the eucalyptus. Its interesting
bark peels off the trunk, giving tea tree the nickname
"paper-bark" tree. With at least 300 species and
subspecies, several different ones probably are sold as tea tree
oil.

Avoid contact
with eyes and keep out of the reach of children. Also, do not take
internally; use as a mouthwash as mentioned here is permitted as
long as it is not swallowed. For application to sensitive areas
such as near the eyes, mouth, or genitals, use a diluted form of
tea tree oil; always dilute for use on a baby's skin. Pregnant
women should be cautious in their use of tea tree oil. To test
whether or not you might have an unwanted reaction to tea tree
oil, you can dab a small amount on the inside of your arm and wait
for five to ten minutes.

Natural Pharmacy
JOHN ANDERSON
From an Australian tree much
like the eucalyptus comes an all-purpose germicide and first-aid kit in a
bottle. The essential oil from the leaves of the tea tree (Melaleuca
alternifolia) is impressively effective as a natural, nontoxic medicinal
agent against infections, fungi, and other microbes on the skin.
Australia is the world's sole
source of tea trees. The sticky, aromatic leaves are harvested and
pressed for the valuable tea tree oil. For many years now, Australians
have known about tea tree oil's remarkable antiseptic properties. It is
routinely used for a variety of conditions including acne, candidiasis,
insect bites, sunburn, athlete's foot, cuts, muscle aches, and shingles.
Tea tree oil was originally a
folk remedy developed by the Australian Aborigines for treatment of insect
bites, burns, and cuts. Depending on the health condition, tea tree oil
can be used at full strength or diluted in water or with another oil. The
Melaleuca tree gained its common name when Captain James Cook, the British
explorer, disembarking in Australia around 1770, discovered the leaves
brewed up a passable tea.
How Tea Tree Oil Ends Infections
Recent scientific research has
validated the folk wisdom of the Australian Aborigines regarding the use
of tea tree oil for infections.
One advantage that recommends
tea tree oil as an antiseptic is that it is nearly impossible for an
infectious microbe to build up any resistance to it.
"The complexity of the oil, with approximately
100 components, increases the likelihood that synergistic interactions are
occurring between components," concluded the researchers. One of the
primary problems with conventional antibiotics is that, increasingly,
infectious microbes develop a resistance to their effects, thus rendering
the drugs useless.
No single element in tea tree
oil accomplishes its remarkable germ-fighting and antiseptic ability-it's
the interaction of eight different natural chemicals in the oil that does
it. Australian researchers studied the action of tea tree oil against an
antibiotic-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus, a bacteria commonly
transmitted in hospitals. They found that only a tiny amount of tea tree
oil (a concentration of only 0.25%) was able to inhibit bacterial growth;
at double the strength (0.5%), it killed the bacteria.
The subjects were randomly
assigned to two groups, one receiving 5% tea tree oil gel and the other
receiving 5% benzoyl peroxide. The severity of each patient's acne was
determined by the number of inflamed and non-inflamed lesions; then they
were assessed monthly for three months to compare the results of the two
treatments.
Tea tree oil was equally
effective as the conventional anti-acne formula in reducing non-inflamed
lesions. Both showed a 30% reduction after three months. The benzoyl
peroxide was slightly more effective against the inflamed lesions,
reducing the lesions by about two-thirds while tea tree oil reduced them
by 45%, but this difference may have been due to the relatively low
concentration of tea tree oil used in the study.
There was a significant
difference in side effects, with 79% of the group treated with benzoyl
peroxide reporting unwanted side effects compared to only 44% of the group
treated with tea tree oil. Reported side effects included skin dryness,
stinging, burning, redness, and itching. Tea tree oil was judged to be
easier on the facial skin, according to participants. "This study shows
that tea tree oil could be a useful alternative treatment for mild to
moderate acne," the researchers concluded.
