Tea Tree Oil
Numerous species of shrubs and trees of the Melaleuca genus, which belongs to the myrtle family, are known as tea trees. The most important tea tree is the Melaleuca alternifolia species found in Australia, from which tea tree oil is mainly extracted. The essential oil of the leaves and branch tips, which is obtained by steam distillation, is used.
Tea tree oil has an antiseptic, bactericidal and fungicidal effect. It is listed in the European Pharmacopoeia, but there is no definite indication due to the lack of ready-made remedies. The Australian aborigines used tea tree oil to treat open wounds, skin infections, colds, gum infections and lice infestations.
Tea tree oil is used in many dermatological preparations: in shampoos, hand and body creams (especially for blemished skin such as acne), in deodorants, bath additives, soaps, toothpaste and mouthwash. When used in the mouth, tea tree oil must be highly diluted. Tea tree oil can be used to preserve many cosmetic products.
External applications of tea tree oil are also known in animal care, although, as with humans, overdoses or very frequent treatments should be avoided.
