Tea tree oil is something which has been used in consumer goods for many years now, but it’s history goes back far longer than the time when you could buy it at your local drugstore. Australia’s aboriginal peoples have used tea tree oil for thousands of years. The crushed leaves of the tree were used to treat wounds, being directly applied with a mud pack to keep the leaves on the wound. The aborigines had the right idea; it’s one of the most powerful natural antiseptics known. Tea tree oil is commonly used today for reasons including:

Tea Tree Oil is great for foot rashes with an itch, athlete’s foot, tinea, etc. It will take away the itch and see to the rash, making sure that it doesn’t spread anywhere else.

Tea tree oil’s natural antiseptic properties make it a great addition to soaps where it helps to cleanse and disinfect naturally.

Acne can be treated with tea tree oil. Though you may think that more oils are the last thing you need if you suffer from this condition, tea tree oil actually removes the dirt and excess oil buildup that creates the conditions for acne to take hold. Tea tree oil treats the cause instead of simply the pimples (though it does that too), making it an effective natural acne remedy.

It is even used to draw out in-grown hairs (also known as razor bumps). These can be painful so it is best to get them out before they become too sore. The Tea Tree Oil will draw the hair out after you have applied it daily for some time.

Tea tree oil is even better than surgical spirits for keeping new piercings free of infection. Unlike surgical spirits, it doesn’t burn and it promotes the healing process.

Due to the fact that Tea Tree Oil is an antiseptic, it is able to clean bacteria from rashes and other broken skin areas.

You don’t only have to use Tea Tree Oil when you have acne or pimples on your face. You can use it as a daily face wash as it uses its natural abilities to draw out impurities and dirt from your skin.

It’s even an effective treatment for oral Candida infections (thrush). A tablespoon of tea tree oil mixed with water and used as a mouth rinse four times daily can clear up most cases in short order.

Tea tree oil is made by steaming the leaves of the tea tree, causing them to exude the pale yellow oil which is then bottled and enjoyed for its many useful applications. It’s inexpensive, safe and natural with no side effects and so handy around the home that everyone should keep a bottle close at hand.
