Tea Tree Oil. Tea tree oil is a traditional topical remedy for skin infections. It is produced by steaming leaves of the Australian tea tree, Melaleuca alternifolia, and then distilling the oil from the resulting liquid. The oil contains several active ingredients called terpene alcohols.
Tea tree oil dose and instructions for use. Tea tree oil is only a topical treatment - it should never be taken by mouth. Because tea tree oil is an unproven treatment, there is no established dose. The concentrations of tea tree oil used in studies have varied depending on the medical condition. For instance, a 5% tea tree oil gel might be used for acne, while a 10% or higher tea tree oil cream might be used for athlete's foot. A 100% tea tree oil solution has been used with toenail fungus. If you use tea tree oil, follow the instructions on the label or get advice from your GP, pharmacist or herbal specialist.
