Tea Tree Oils
Tea tree oils are essential substances that boast several uses, such as keeping the nails, skin, and hair healthy. Beyond their scientifically-backed benefits, they’re also affordable and safe as long as they’re used correctly. Some of the daily uses of this essential oil are as a hand sanitizer, insect repellent, natural deodorant, antiseptic, improves wound recovery, fights acne, removes nail fungus, mouth wash, controls dandruff, and serves as an all-purpose cleaner. They can also relieve psoriasis and remove mold from vegetables and fruits.
Moreover, tea tree oils may relieve skin inflammation. A common type of irritation of the skin is dermatitis, which generally occurs when the skin is exposed to allergens. Research indicates that it could reduce these symptoms’ severity. In addition, studies suggest that the oil might be an effective antiviral treatment, speeding the recovery process and limiting plaque formation.
Like oregano oil and licorice extracts, tea tree oils can be applied on cold sore areas using cotton balls containing the diluted oil. If undiluted, it may cause irritation. It’s also vital to never ingest the oil because it could be toxic when swallowed. So store it out of children’s reach. In case of ingestion, seek immediate medical attention.
