Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic and extracted from the leaves of an Australian tree known as Melaleucaalternifolia. Tea tree oil has been used as a traditional herbal medicine in the belief it treats acne, nail fungus, or athlete's foot, with little evidence to support these uses. Application of tea tree oil to the skin can cause an allergic reaction. Tea tree oil has caused more documented allergic reactions than any other form of essential oil. The potential for causing an allergic reaction increases as the oil ages and its chemical composition changes. The use of tea tree oil can help prevent the growth of bacteria, causing acne, which is why this essential oil is very useful in the fight against acne.
