DEscriptION

Tea tree oil is derived from the leaves of the tea tree. The teatree was named by eighteenth century sailors, who made tea thatsmelled like nutmeg from the leaves of the tree growing on theswampy southeast Australian coast. Do not confuse the tea tree withthe unrelated common tea plant that is used to make black and greenteas.

Tea tree oil is applied to the skin (used topically) forinfections such as acne, fungal infections of the nail(onychomycosis),  lice,  scabies,athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), andringworm. It is alsoused topically as a local antiseptic for cuts and abrasions, forburns,  insect bites and stings, boils, vaginalinfections, recurrent herpes labialis, toothache,infections of the mouth and nose,  sore throat, andfor ear infections such as otitis media andotitis externa.

Some people add it to bath water to treat cough, bronchialcongestion, and pulmonary inflammation.

USES

 

• Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis). Topical application of a 10% tea treeoil cream works about as well as tolnaftate 1% cream (Genaspor, Tinactin, Ting, and others) for relieving symptoms ofathlete’s foot, including scaling, inflammation, itching, andburning. But the 10% tea tree oil cream doesn’t seem to cure theinfection. A stronger tea tree oil solution (25% or 50%) is neededfor that. Application of 25% or 50% tea tree oil solution appearsto both relieve symptoms and clear up the infection in about halfof people who try it for 4 weeks. However, 25% or 50% tea tree oilconcentrations don’t appear to be as effective for curing theinfection as medications suchas clotrimazole or terbinafine.
• Fungus infections of the nails (onychomycosis). Topical applicationof 100% tea tree oil solution, twice daily for six months, can curefungal toenail infection in about 18% of people who try it. It canalso improve nail appearance and symptoms in about 56% of patientsafter three months and 60% of patients after six months oftreatment. It seems to be comparable to twice daily application ofclotrimazole 1% solution (Fungoid,  Lotrimin, Lotrimin AF).Lower concentrations of tea tree oil do not seem to be aseffective. For example, there is some evidence that a 5% tea treeoil cream applied three times daily for two months has nobenefit.
• Mild to moderate acne. Applying a 5% tea tree oil gel appears to beas effective as 5% benzoyl peroxide (Oxy-5, Benzac AC, and others) for treating acne. Tea treeoil might work more slowly than benzoyl peroxide, butseems to be less irritating to facial skin.

 

Insufficient Evidence for:

• Cold sores (Herpes labialis). Research so far suggests thatapplying 6% tea tree oil gel 5 times daily does not significantlyimprove cold sores.
• Allergic skin reactions to nickel. Developing evidence suggeststhat undiluted tea tree oil may reduce the area and redness skinreactions in people who are allergic to contact with nickel.
• Yeast infections in the mouth and throat (thrush; also knownas oropharyngeal candidiasis) in people with AIDS. Becausepeople with AIDS have a weak immune system, they sometimes comedown with “opportunistic” infections such as thrush. There is someevidence that tea tree oil might be beneficial in patientswith HIV/AIDS whose thrush does not respond to usualantifungal medications such as fluconazole. Swishing andexpelling tea tree oil solution for two to four weeks seems toimprove symptoms.
• Vaginal infections. Some studies suggest tea tree oil may bebeneficial for some vaginal infections caused by bacteria.
• Ear infections.
• Lice.
• Scabies.
• Ringworm.
• Preventing infections in cuts, abrasions, burns, insect bites andstings, and boils.
• Sore throat.
• Cough.
• Congestion.
• Other conditions.
