But watch out, this is a liquid you want to keep far away from your mouth. Tea tree oil is dangerous if taken by mouth. It can cause serious side effects such as confusion, inability to walk, unsteadiness, rash and coma, says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Janet Prystowsky.
Do not use this oil full strength in the mouth (as a mouth rinse) or in the vagina. It is likely to cause significant discomfort and pain. Moreover, at the full 100% strength, it may cause toxicity. Tea tree oil can be dilute with distilled, filtered water or with oil or aloe vera gel.In addition, you can mix it into most creams or gels. Always test the mixture on a small area of the skin first to check for any possible skin reactions.oreover, it is an oil and may aggravate the acne condition further, especially if you have oily skin. Dilute it to 5 to 15% before using. Higher concentrations may be used but be on the lookout for side effects. See Acne Treatment with Tea Tree Oil for a detailed discussion of this specific use.
