SKIN PATCH TESTINGHistory, Science & Medical Uses
The Australian Tea Tree has a long and unique history that dates back centuries. It is believed to have been used by Aboriginal Australians for medicinal purposes, such as treating skin ailments and infections. In the late 1700s, Captain James Cook was the first European to record tea tree in his journals when he noticed it being used by Indigenous Australians.
He named it “tea tree” due to its resemblance to the unrelated tree species of Camellia Sinensis which is used for making black and green tea.
Since then, Australian Tea Tree has become a widely-used natural remedy and ingredient for many health care products around the world. Its antifungal and antiseptic properties are especially beneficial for treating wounds, relieving muscle pain, eliminating fungal infections, reducing inflammation, and more. It is also commonly used as an aromatherapy oil due to its pleasant aroma and uplifting properties. Today, Australian Tea Tree remains a popular natural remedy employed by many traditional healers around the globe.
One way to use Tea Tree Oil is to treat topical fungal infections such as athlete’s foot or ringworm. It can also be used to treat minor skin irritations such as cuts, scrapes and insect bites. When applied topically, Tea Tree Oil reduces inflammation and kills bacteria that can cause infection. Furthermore, research has shown that when applied in combination with other essential oils, Tea Tree Oil can be used to effectively treat cold sores, dandruff and acne.
In addition to topical use, Tea Tree Oil can also be taken orally for treating colds, sore throats or respiratory infections. It is important to remember that this oil should always be diluted before using it on the skin since it is very potent in its pure form.
Tea tree oil contains over one hundred active compounds, including terpinen-4-ol, that provide it with its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory benefits. Terpinen-4-ol is considered to be the primary compound responsible for tea tree oil’s antibacterial properties. It has been found to be effective against numerous bacteria, including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Research has also revealed that other active compounds present in tea tree oil have antiviral, antifungal, and antimicrobial effects.
In addition to terpinen-4-ol, tea tree oil also contains cineole and alpha-terpineol which act as anti-inflammatories and reduce swelling caused by infections or allergies. Eugenol provides analgesic relief from pain, while myrcene helps reduce itching associated with allergic reactions or fungal infections like athlete’s foot. Limonene aids in skin regeneration after injury or infection, while nerolidol has antiseptic and antihistamine qualities that help with minor skin irritations such as sunburns or insect bites. All of these compounds work together to make tea tree oil an effective natural remedy for a wide range of conditions ranging from minor scrapes and cuts to more serious bacterial or fungal infections.
