The
Many
Uses
Of
TEA
TREE
OIL
Tea
Tree
Oil,
a
complex
of
over
100
naturally
occurring
compounds,
is
a
clear
&
colourless
to
pale
yellow
liquid
with
a
characteristic
odor.
A
broad
range
of
cosmetic
and
therapeutic
products
include
Australian
Tea
Tree
Oil
for
its
healing
powers,
with
clinical
trials
proving
the
oil’s
effectiveness
against
acne,
tinea,
vaginal
infection
and
as
a
useful
treatment
for
burns.
Tea
Tree
Oil
has
a
long
history
of
use
as
an
herbal
medicine.
In
recent
years,
biochemists
and
aromatherapists
defined
the
therapeutic
nature
of
tea
tree
essential
oil,
and
as
a
result,
tea
tree
has
become
widely
popular
as
an
alternative
remedy.
The
key
to
Tea
Tree
Oil's
medicinal
effectiveness
is
two
chemical
constituents
found
in
the
oil
--
cineole
and
terpinen.
Although
both
are
bactericidal
and
germicidal,
cineole
can
be
a
powerful
skin
irritant.
Therefore,
tea
tree
oils
with
low
cineole
and
high
terpinen
contents
are
preferred.
Because
the
terpinen
found
in
tea
tree
oil
is
so
mild,
it
can
soothe
cuts,
scratches,
sunburn
and
cold
sores.
Since
it
is
non-irritating,
you
can
apply
a
single
drop
of
the
oil
directly
to
minor
injuries
once
or
twice
a
day.
Some
of
the
most
effective
aromatherapy
uses
for
tea
tree
oil
are
cosmetic
in
nature.
Tea
tree
has
a
marked
oil-dissolving
and
dispersing
action
which
can
help
alleviate
overly
oily
skin.
Combined
with
water,
it
works
well
as
a
facial
skin
astringent.
A
few
drops
of
the
oil
massaged
directly
into
the
scalp
will
gently
invigorate
the
scalp
and
help
lift
greasy
deposits
from
the
hair
shaft
before
shampooing.
