TEA TREE OIL -OWLPURE

TEA TREE OIL

What is it used for?

Traditional/Ethnobotanical uses

The indigenous people of Australia have used tea tree oil from crushed leaves as a traditional remedy for coughs and colds, as well as to treat wounds and skin conditions. Tea tree oil was first used in surgery and dentistry in the mid-1920s. Its healing properties were also used during World War II for skin injuries to those working in munition factories. Tea tree oil's popularity has resurfaced within the last few years with help from promotional campaigns, and it is an ingredient in soaps, shampoos, and lotions.

General uses

Despite many commercial preparations promoted for antifungal use, sound clinical trials are limited. Trials have been conducted in conditions including nail infections, athlete's foot, fungal skin infections, acne, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Case reports exist for use in other conditions.

What is the recommended dosage?

Acne: 5% tea tree oil gel applied for 20 minutes twice daily, then washed off. Nail fungal infections: 100% tea tree oil applied for 6 months. Athelete's foot: 25% to 50% tea tree oil for 4 weeks. Decolonization of MRSA: Tea tree oil as a nasal cream (4% to 10%) applied 3 times a day for 5 days or 5% body wash for 5 days.
