Tea Tree Essential Oil

6/28/2020

Tea tree essential oil is highly beneficial to keep in your oil arsenal. Its antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties make it a staple oil to have on hand. It is extremely beneficial to our skin, in wound care, and in our overall health. It makes a great addition to skincare products, cleaning sprays, and diffuser blends, as it kills many pollutants on our skin and in the air.

Effective Antibacterial Agent
Because tea tree has such powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it can be helpful in treating eczema, itchy skin, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis. It is beneficial to the scalp as well, improving conditions like dandruff and dermatitis. It can also do wonders for our complexion, as it helps to alleviate acne and regulate oily skin, according to this study which found that when a sunscreen containing tea tree was used for 30 days, participants’ oily skin improved!

Tea tree has also proven to help helpful when caring for wounds, whether it be from a sunburn, bug bite, or a bad scrape or cut. It has shown to reduce the amount of time needed for a wound to heal, and it has shown to have antiseptic properties that help to keep wounds clean during the healing process. It has even shown to kill MRSA in lab settings, but more research is still needed to prove its efficacy.

Tea tree can also be used as a natural deodorant and bug repellant! When we sweat, secretions from our sweat glands combine with the bacteria already present on our skin. Since tea tree is such a powerful antibacterial agent, it kills the bacteria, resulting in less body odor. It has also been shown to repel flies and mosquitoes. One study even found that it was more effective in repelling mosquitoes than DEET was! Others found it to be effective in treating scabies and killing head lice and eggs.

Since it is such an effective antibacterial agent, tea tree makes a wonderful addition to cleaning sprays and diffuser recipes as well! Just adding a few drops will help to kill bacteria on spray surfaces as well as purify the air.

Fights Viral Infections
Using tea tree essential oil to combat viral illnesses can be effective! If you suffer from recurring cold sores, you may have success in adding tea tree to your skincare products. This study shows that tea tree can have a direct antiviral effect on the herpes virus, but only before or during the process of the virus penetrating a cell’s membrane. Meaning, that when used as a preventative, you can easily have success in preventing an outbreak.

Research has also been conducted on how the oil interacts with the influenza virus. Interestingly enough, in a lab setting, it does have the ability to prevent the virus from entering a host cell. A virus usually acts by attaching itself to a healthy cell and then flooding it with its viral DNA. When tea tree was involved, the virus kept its structural integrity, but the oil kept the virus from flooding the healthy cell with its viral DNA. It did this by binding to a cell receptor responsible for “opening” the cell’s membrane, so that the virus couldn’t bind to it itself. It was also suggested in a separate study, that tea tree was highly effective at inhibiting virus replication if it was implemented early on in the exposure (in vitro studies suggest within the first two hours after infection).

Since it displays such powerful antiviral properties, successes have also been found when diluting the oil and applying it a few times daily to warts.

Potential Treatment for Fungal Infections
Tea tree essential oil has strong antifungal properties. Because of this, more and more trials are being conducted to prove its efficacy in treating fungal infections like candida, athlete’s foot, toenail fungus, and ringworm.

One in vitro study found that tea tree oil was effective in killing candida in patients that used dentures while also alleviating the sores that may arise from candida. The study theorized that tea tree oil could potentially be used as a coating on dentures to reduce the effects of this fungal infection, but in vivo studies are still needed.

Another study tested the effects of using tea tree oil to treat vaginal candida. Vaginal suppositories containing tea tree showed fungicidal activity against all strains of candida, but it is important to note that in vivo studies are still needed to determine the efficacy of using tea tree oil to treat vaginal candida.

So, whether you are using tea tree in your diffuser blends or cleaning up a nasty scrape, it is one of the best oils you can have on hand.

My cousin's life was transformed after she contacted Nze Njoku Herbal Home, for her herpes infection as an alternative treatment. She reached out to Dr. Utu Njoku via his email which I will drop here for anyone going through same disease and shared her struggles.
([email protected])
Dr. Utu, with his vast knowledge of herbal medicine, prepared herpes herbal cleanser and sent it to her via DHL Express courier.
She received the herbal medicine and embarked on a four week treatment journey. With faith and determination, she followed the treatment regimen, and her body began to heal. After completing the treatment, she visited her doctor for a test, and the results were nothing short of miraculous - the virus was no longer in her system!
This breakthrough opened a new chapter in her life. She's now married to a loving husband, and God has blessed their union with a beautiful baby girl ♥️. Her experience has taught me the power of resilience, positivity, and prayer. She's a living proof that natural treatments can be effective, and that with determination and faith, anyone can overcome adversity.
God Made Natural Treatments for everything You just have to be strong, stay positive, and pray for guidance and you will heal !!!

EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET YOUR HERPES CURE/MEDICINE ORDER FROM DR. ODUNGA HERBAL REMEDIES

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]

Many people have written articles about how they were helped but I am very grateful to this great man who brought my ex-husband back to me. This testimony is a true story and my name is Jennifer Sanchez. When I came in contact with this man was also through a testimony written about him helping with a cure for Herpes Virus and I have also encountered many testimonies about how he has been helping others with their life to win the lottery. To get back with an ex is one of the most innermost feelings many people would love to experience especially as those memories with our ex always cloud our mind when someone else does some of those things our ex used to do. I was a single parent of two boys for almost 6 years and though my ex-husband was not staying with me and the kids I still wish someday he will return to me. This doctor I encountered is known as Dr. Odunga helped me with my wishes and I am happy to write on this website that my ex-husband is back with me. I am very happy to share the testimony with everyone so that they too can meet this great doctor and solve their problems. I don't know what others might feel about getting their ex back in their life but I always know there is a blessing in disguise with just a single re-connection with an ex. If you want to successfully get back with your ex or facing an infertility problem, contact this great man at [email protected] Or WhatsApp/Call +2348167159012 and share an awesome testimony too just as I did
