AUSTRALIAN TEA TREE OIL - A SUMMARY OF USES AND FORMULATIONS
Uses and Applications summary
For nearly 100 years pure tea tree oil (TTO) has been extensively used to successful treat a quite extraordinary range of conditions and found myriad of other uses. This is because of its antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties and some anti inflammatory activity which have been the subject of extensive and comprehensive studies probably best summarised in the 2007 Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC) titled Effectiveness and Safety of Australian Tea Tree Oil1 compiled by preeminent researchers Carson, Hammer and Riley2. Cynthia Olsen in her Tea Tree Oil Guide book3 provides a very helpful and quite detailed chapter tabulating a near exhaustive list of common conditions that have been successfully treated by the applications of pure tea tree oil including:
1. SkinAcne and PimplesBoils (furunculosis)Cold sore (herpes simplex)Dermatitis and EczemaInsect bites and StingsPsoriasis, Hives and RashesRingwormsUlcers (leg and tropical)Vaginal (yeast) infectionsWartsMinor wounds, cuts and abrasionsAfter shave and bikini wax irritationBurns (minor)Coral cutsNappy rashInfections
2. Feet and NailAthlete’s foot (tinea)Corns and callusesFoot odourNail Infections (perionychia)
3. Hair and ScalpCradle cap (pityriasis capitis)dandruff (malassezia furfur)Head-lice (pediculus humans capitis)Itchy scalp (some other types)
4. MouthGingivitisToothacheBad breathMouth ulcersCough, colds, nasal congestions and bronchial congestion
Pure Australian tea tree oil uses further extend to:The treatment of a whole range of animal and pet skin condi6on (ref 3. chapter 4) eg 6cks, mange, fleas.Solvent applica6on similar to mineral turpen6ne and eucalyptus oil.Formulated products star6ng with aqueous emulsions and natural cold pressed oil balms and lo6ons. More sophis6cated formula6ons further broaden the scope of use for tea tree oil – molecular complexes between tea tree oil and modified starch provide controlled release and evapora6on control characteris6cs as do the exci6ng new microencapsulated matrices that MCNE can now offer.
Extensive details (including dosages, applica6on methods and precau6ons) for each and all of the above examples can be readily found on the internet and in C. Olsen’s guide3.
