About

Tea Tree is often used in a steam for its decongestive, anti-infectious and expectorant properties. This is a valuable oil to have in your essential oil medicine chest. Try putting a dab of Tea Tree or Lavender on a pimple or infected spot of acne. It will help to clear it up. It has a medicinal, strong aroma.

Tea Tree is widely used for fungal infections and I have seen it work best in combination with other antifungal oils. (Eucalyptus Citriodora, Geranium, Rose, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Rosewood, Lemongrass, Patchouli, Spikenard, and Palmarosa are other antifungal oils.)
