Amazing Benefits of Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil has many benefits and uses for the skin and hair and is often used to treat acne related conditions. Always remember to never apply essential oils like tea tree oil directly on your skin as it may cause adverse reactions and may cause your skin to become hypersensitive. Try to mix the oil with other essential oils like Lavender and Frankincense and carrier oil for the best massage oil for your body.






1. Acne Relief
The most commonly known use of tea tree oil is acne relief. Many herbalists and skincare fanatics swear by tea tree oil as the best remedy for acne-prone skin.

You can use it in a face wash, make your own scrub or just massage your face gently with a tea tree oil serum and you are sure to see a huge difference in your acne breakouts.



2. Removes Excess Oil
This oil is known for shrinking the pores on your skin and making it completely oil free. It does this because of its astringent properties.
So, start massaging your face with some tea tree oil serum every day. Your face will become smoother and completely oil-free.


3. Treatment for Eczema and Psoriasis
Eczema and Psoriasis are ailments that are commonly treated with tea tree oil as well. Eczema is characterized by very dry itchy and inflamed skin. Psoriasis results in the scaly skin with itchy, inflamed patches.
Tea tree oil prevents the skin from getting very dry in eczema patients. It also helps in soothing the scaly patches and even removing them to some extent in people who suffer from psoriasis.
If you suffer from either of the two inflammatory skin conditions, a tea tree oil massage can prove to be very soothing and beneficial for you.
You can even combine the tea tree oil with some coconut oil or olive oil for the best results a massage can yield.


4. Cure for Boils and Warts
Conditions like staph infections can make boils spring up on your skin. Warts also show up spontaneously because of environmental conditions and processes in the body.
Application and massage of tea tree oil on these areas is really beneficial in curing the infection and reducing the appearance of warts and boils.


5. Use as an Antiseptic
Tea tree oil is being used as an antiseptic if you have any cuts, wounds or scars on your body, a tea tree oil massage will be really helpful.
This is because of its antiseptic, antifungal and antimicrobial properties. They prevent the wounds from being infected by killing the bacteria present at the site of the cut and getting rid of impurities surrounding the area.

6. Prevention of Fungal Infections
The fungal infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm, and toenail fungus can also be treated by massaging the affected areas with tea tree oil.  These fungal infections can also be prevented if you massage your body with tea tree oil regularly.


7. Prevention of Bacterial Infections
Tea tree oil has been known to kill staph aureus and prevent it from infecting your skin. This property of tea tree oil is also used to keep your acne at bay as well. This is because acne is caused by microbes that enter your skin via the open pores. Tea tree oil kills these bacteria and prevents acne breakouts on your face.


8. Cures Inflammation
Tea tree oil is also an anti-inflammatory agent. Tea tree oil also soothes the skin, reduces redness in sunburned areas and prevents inflammation at the site of wounds as well.
Mix the tea tree oil with some lavender essential oil for the best results in reducing inflammation.


9. Getting Rid of Body Odors
Initially, we only knew that tea tree oil is great for getting rid of odors from our feet. So if you think you have a bad case of body odor or just to prevent yourself from getting a bad case of body odor, you should start getting a tea tree oil massage. You can also add a refreshing essential oil like lemon essential oil to the mixture so you can start smelling great naturally as well.


We know how tea tree oil can benefit dry and flaky skin in eczema patients. In the same way, it also helps in treating dry and flaky skin on the scalp and essentially preventing dandruff breakouts on your scalp.

Other than that, tea tree oil is really beneficial in getting rid of lice breakouts on your scalp as well, leaving your hair clean and healthy.
