Melaleuca oil, more popularly known as tea tree oil, is a potent elixir distilled from the Melaleuca Alternifolia plant, native to Australia. In recent years, tea tree oil has grown immensely popular in the beauty and cosmetic industry, alongside its various uses in alternative medicine and herbal practices. For centuries, tea tree oil has remained a popular ingredient to heal and beautify the skin, and prevent the spread of viruses and infections. 

Today, there are countless household products, medicines, creams, and cosmetic products that contain tea tree oil extracts. Research reveals that tea tree oil contains potent antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral properties, which help treat dermatitis, acne, and other inflammatory ailments of the skin body. 

In this article, we will walk you through the compelling benefits of tea tree oil. 

Antibacterial & Antiseptic 

Widely accepted amongst medical researchers as an “antipsoriasis weapon,” tea tree oil has been discovered to boost antibacterial and antiseptic properties and a vigorous ability to combat inflammation and bacterias. For hundreds of years in Australia, this oil has remained popular as a topical ointment to relieve pain and heal inflammatory skin conditions. 

Tea tree oil is a powerful antibacterial agent. Its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties allow it to damage the cell walls of bacteria and eliminate infectious skin conditions. Its antiseptic properties make it an effective treatment for minor scrapes and cuts. You see, broken skin allows germs easy passage into our bloodstream, which gives birth to infections. 

Applying tea tree oil on minor cuts and abrasions kills the virus by effectively disinfecting the open wounds. It is common practice to add tea tree oil and coconut oil on the bandage or open wound to quell inflammation and fight off infections. 

Anti-inflammatory & Antifungal 

Tea tree oil boasts rich concentrations of terpinene-4-ol, a potent anti-inflammatory compound that fights off infections and inflammation. This compound allows tea tree oil to prove effective at healing various inflammatory skin conditions, including acne, histamine-induced inflammation, eczema, and swelling. Some studies reveal that tea tree oil also contains antiviral properties that enhance its ability to treat viruses. 

A study attempted to review the effects of tea tree oil in eliminating a wide range of fungi and yeasts, and the review primarily focused on Candida albicans, which is related to ailments of the mouth, skin, genitals, and throat. The results revealed the oil’s effectiveness at killing a wide variety of yeasts and infections, owing to its high concentrations of terpinene-4-ol, which enhances the activity of antifungal medications. 

Acne Treatment 

Tea tree oil is immensely popular as an effective natural treatment for acne. An abundance of research validates its benefits in reducing the concentration and severity of acne and restoring a smooth, and healthy skin. 

A study revealed that apply tea tree gel, with 5% concentration, on acne lesion is an effective treatment for reducing the lesions and the severity of acne. Another study revealed that tea tree oil is just as effective at treating acne as benzoyl peroxide, a popular anti-acne drug. While both treatments effectively reduced the number of acne lesions, tea tree oil worked more slowly and exhibited fewer side effects. 

You can either create your own tea tree oil acne treatment at home or buy acne gels containing tea tree oil extracts from a local pharmacy or cosmetic retailer. To make your own gel at home, mix tea tree oil with water, and use a cotton swab to apply the gel on the affected areas. Be sure to apply the gel twice a day for effective results. 

Natural Cleaner & Deodorant

Tea tree oil is an excellent cleaner and sanitizer, owing to its potent antibacterial and antiseptic properties. Research reveals its effectiveness at fighting off a range of common viruses and bacteria that give birth to illnesses, such as pneumonia, influenza, and E. coli. 

Adding tea tree oil to face cleansers, hand sanitizers, and even household cleaning products can boost their effectiveness to fight off illness-causing infections and viruses. 

More importantly, its antibacterial properties make tea tree oil an excellent natural deodorant that will curb underarm odors created by perspiration. It is important to note that sweat itself does not give birth to foul odor, but in fact, this foul odor is the result of a combination of sweat and the bacteria present on our skin. 

Tea tree oil fights off bacteria and odor, and it is much more long-lasting and effective than most antiperspirants and deodorants we usually buy. 

Speedy Wound Healing

Tea tree oil can speed up the healing of wounds, alongside preventing infections from emerging in abrasions and cuts. Research reveals that tea tree oil encourages speedy wound healing by curbing inflammation and speeding up the activity of white blood cells, which are vital for an effective healing process. 

One small-scale study attempted to test the effectiveness of tea tree oil in comparison with conventional treatments. The results revealed a marked reduction in the healing time amongst 9 out of 10 participants with wounds. It is advisable to add a few drops of the oil to the wound with each new dressing for effective results. 

Conclusion

Tea tree oil is one of Mother Nature’s most powerful healing and nurturing elixirs that have countless effective uses in our everyday life. You can use it as a natural hand sanitizer or even a household cleaning product to ensure that your floors are wiped clean of all viruses and harmful bacteria. It aids in killing insects and pesticides, and can also be used to combat fungus infections. 

This oil is largely popular for its miraculous abilities to heal the skin and restore its youthful vitality. Its anti-inflammatory properties effectively combat inflamed skin conditions and irritations, redness, swelling, and more.
