Tea Tree Oil Properties
Tea Tree Oil is one of the most widely used essential oils in aromatherapy. One of the key components of Tea Tree Oil is terpinen-4-ol, which has been shown in studies (click here for link) to kill certain bacteria, viruses and fungi. In addition other studies (click here for link) have shown Terpinen-4-ol can increase the activity of white blood cells, helping to fight germs and foreign invaders.
It is these properties that give Tea Tree its reputation for dealing with fungal and bacterial problems.
