3. Tea tree oil is derived from the leaves of the tea
tree. The tea tree was named by eighteenth century
sailors,
who made tea that smelled like nutmeg from the
leaves of the tree growing on the swampy southeast
Australian coast.
Do not confuse the tea tree with the unrelated
common tea plant that is used to make black and
green teas.
Tea tree oil is applied to the skin (used topically) for
infections such as acne, fungal infections of the nail
(onychomycosis), lice, scabies, athlete's foot (tinea
pedis), and ringworm. It is also used topically as a
local antiseptic for cuts and abrasions, for
burns, insect bites and stings,
boils,recurrent herpes labialis, toothache, infections
of the mouth and nose, sore throat, and for ear
infections such as otitis media and otitis externa.

5. Origin of Tea Tree
It is a small tree from New South Wales in Australia,
similar to Cypress, with needle-like leaves and heads of
sessile yellow or purplish flowers and grows to about 7
meters (20 feet) high and thrives in marshy areas, though
it is now cultivated in plantations.
Even when this tree is cut down, it flourishes and is ready
for cutting again in two years. The oil is only produced in
Australia where the Aborigines used it for a long time for
a variety of medicinal purposes.
In World War II, the producers and the cutters were
exempt from military service until enough essential oil
had been accumulated. Each soldier and sailor was issued
with some as part of their kit, to treat tropical infections
and infected wounds.
Tea tree oil is an ingredient of soaps, creams, lotions,
deodorants, disinfectants and air fresheners.

Dry Skin eczema:
Tea tree oil can help soothe dry skin by reducing itching and irritation.
Also, it’s been shown to be more effective than zinc oxide and clobetasone
butyrate creams in treating eczema.
Inflammation:
The anti-inflammatory effect of tea tree oil helps to soothe and relieve painful
and irritated skin. It may also help to reduce redness and swelling.

You can use tea tree oil to treat dandruff by removing chemicals and dead skin
cells from the scalp. Using tea tree oil on your hair may help it to stay healthy
and moisturized, promoting optimal growth.

7. Oily skin:
The antiseptic properties of tea tree oil may contribute to its ability to combat
oily skin. A small 2016 study found that participants who used a sunscreen
containing tea tree oil for 30 days showed improvements in oiliness.

The anti-inflammatory properties of tea tree oil make it useful in relieving the
discomfort of itchy skin. It soothes the skin and can also help heal infections that
cause itchy skin.
Infections, cuts, and wound-healing
The antibacterial properties of tea tree oil make it an effective wound healer.
According to a 2013 study, tea tree oil helps to heal wounds caused by bacteria.
Nine of the 10 people who used tea tree oil in addition to conventional
treatment showed a decrease in healing time compared to conventional
treatment alone.
