Tea Tree Oil
Many people use essential oils as home remedies. One such example is tea tree oil, also called melaleuca oil, which is extracted from the leaves of the Australian tea tree. It is claimed that tea tree oil has antimicrobial properties when used topically. Tea tree oil is frequently used to treat a wide variety of skin conditions, one of which is the typical rash.
Since ancient times, the indigenous people of Australia have used tea tree oil as a form of traditional medicine. They smashed the leaves to extract the oil they inhale to treat coughs and colds or apply it straight to the skin for therapeutic purposes. In today’s market, tea tree oil can be purchased in various forms, including undiluted (100 percent) or diluted (with a strength of 50 percent or less) in products designed for the skin. In cases of skin infections, when administered directly to the skin in its undiluted state, it can irritate the skin. Before it can be used, it must first be diluted with a carrier oil and tested on an area to determine whether or not it causes any adverse effects.
