Benefits of Tea Tree Oil 

I have had what I can only describe as severe acne on the back of my neck since I was 17, I am now 51 and it had never gone away. I have tried All of the over the counter products to get rid of it to no avail. Recently I mixed 1oz of tea tree oil with a half cup of coconut oil and a half cup of aloe vera gel and 1 small tube of neosporin. I started applying the mixture 3 to four times per day and to my utter amazement, within just one week the acne was completely cleared up. I continued applying the mixture for another two weeks before discontinuing. That was several months ago and the acne has not returned. This is the first time I have been acne free on my neck in over three decades.

Great day!!! I just wanted to say that I am 54 years old that had severe acne and have spent $100's of dollars on products that did not work!!! After trying the tea tree oil and manuka honey mask, I started to see a significant change (3 days) and as of today it has been a complete 7 days and my acne is GONE!!! I wanna thank you Dr. Axe!!! You are amazing!!!

I mixed it with cannabis oil and lavender oil and had an incredible success in treating psoriasis!

So true! I use honey and tea tree oil on my face every night and my skin is beautiful! My acne went away! I have been doing this for almost 6 months and I love it!

Used this for shingles. Tea tree oil 50%, Vitamin E oil 50% (30,000 IU or above) and a few drops of Lavender essential oil - OMG, so much relief!!!!! Mix in an opaque bottle and apply a few times a day.

I cured very bad toenail fungus by using 50-50 mix of tea tree oil and thieves oil, took about a month and a half. It was amazing to see my toe nails start to look normal again.

I get bad ezcema and fungal issues . I use tea tree oil diluted every morning after I wake up without fail . Tea tree saved me from expensive vet bills when my cat used to come home after fighting with another cat .. it made any abscesses all better without getting an infection. I’m Australian so wev’e used it here for years 👍 I’ve used tea tree oil roll on deodorant for 20 years ! Would never ever use another aluminium deodorant again

I started using tea tree oil on my face before bed about two weeks ago and my hormonal acne is 90% gone! It’s also getting rid of my acne scars. I wish I had discovered this a while ago.

I had a black toe nail, and the tea tree oil cleared it right up. I love both tea tree and oil of oregano.

I just used tea tree on my floors with dawn soap. Smells so strong. I love it!

I put on my feet for dry skin on toes and cracked heels. It works amazingly!

I didn't hear anything concerning cough and cold, congestion, ear ache. Mouth care.. it's good for those also

Tea tree oil is also great to put on warts. I have had a wart on my shin for years, and recently figured out what it was, I also developed another one, but I have been putting Tea Tree oil on it and they both are disappearing so incredibly. I wish I would have known this before having a wart cut out of my heel by a doctor 3 times from it growing back. Just proof going natural is always best. :)

Tea tree oil is " The Wonder From Down Under ". We have used this since 1991. It is AMAZING !! I can go on and on about this product ! Most people have no idea about this oil. Years back my parents had a stray kitty who was wild. It would come to their deck and eat the cat food my parents had to feed their own cats. One day I noticed the kitty wasn't acting well. She must have been attacked from another animal because her face on one side was terribly infected and was really swollen and abscessed. I knew exactly what I needed to put on her. She needed Tea Tree Oil. The only problem was she was wild and scared of us. So how was I to get the oil in her face ?? I knew if I didn't she was days from dying. She was already in so much pain it sadden me to see her suffer So I bought a squirt bottle from town, out a few drops of oil in it and then water. I knew I had one chance to get the oil on her infected face. I waited till she came to the deck to sneak in to my parents kitty dish they left out on the deck for their own kitties. Soon I got my chance. The cat came to eat. I grabbed the water squirt bottle and squirted her in the face. She took off running and shaking her head ! But here's the amazing thing ! She had stayed away a few days out of fear but when she came back the big Pusey abcess had gone down in size incredibly!! With only one squirt that cats life was saved. Eventually the sore healed completely. Where the abcess was she had lost all her fur. But it grew back as time went on. I have COUNTLESS stories to tell thru the years of using this oil. More animal stories after another. When our daughter was little she got the chickenpox. We had a lotion with the oil in it. So I started soothing her itchy skin by applying the lotion. It helped her not to scratch where the pic was and also after she was well she had NO scars from it. We had been told it would help heal the pox and prevent scarring. Again another true testimony of this wonder oil. Our teen aged son got herpes in his mouth. It was HORRIBLE ! It spread in his nose as well. He was CRAZY in pain !! He was so sick ! I took him to see our family doctor and all he could do was prescribe him this clear jelly looking stuff in a bottle that numbed his mouth when he swished it around. But the numbness lasted only a few minutes. Lo g story short he was almost hospitalized because the pain was so intense he stopped eating and drinking. I started having my son swish the oil mixed with water in his mouth and the minute he did it would sooth his mouth. And AGAIN the oil went right to work and his mouth started healing ! I took him back to our doctor and he was amazed. And wanted to know where to buy the stuff. He was also going going to start telling his patience about this remarkable oil. This oil is used as disinfectant to clear Mersa in Australia hospitals and for just basic cleaning supplies in Australia. You can buy toothpaste with this oil in it and it helps prevent gum disease. It's also used in shampoos and conditioners. The list goes in and on. Our family is never without this product in our house. You can buy it in Walmart and I'm sure many other stores. I like to impress people by demonstrating how fast this stuff penetrates the skin. It goes 7 layers deep within seconds ! Take a balloon and blow it up. Then put a tiny dot of the oil on the balloon and it will immediately pop ! Well I guess by now you know our family and many others are indebted to this miracle from down under oil. I recommend anyone and everyone to try this oil ! You can use it with or without diluting it. You can mix it in lotions, toothpaste, ect. Oh my goodness one more story and will shut up ! A friend of ours got burned extremely bad. Part of his arm literally was on fire. He was rushed to the ER. After being treated in the hospital they gave him antibiotics and some kind of ointment to keep on the wound. It wasn't healing well and he contacted my husband to see where he could buy the oil. We gave him ours. The oil went right to work . It soothed his burn and began healing his arm. And guess what ? After almost 30 years later no scarring !

also good for sinus, put a few drops into a bowl of hot water and take in the steam

I used the tea tree oil mixed with coconut oil on my scalp for very itchy and dry scalp inflammation! 😁

cucumber juice and green tea make a really good toner but I got tired of making it fresh ever week. so I got Thayer's witch-hazel with rose oil and added my own tea tree oil and I absolutely love it. oh and if you drink green tea don't waste the leaves use them as a mild exfoliator. I love using what god gave us to use for healing!

I had a traffic accident and had a wound in my leg that got badly infected..antibiotics wasn’t working... I remembered the tea tree oil was good for it and I started applying in it, fair enough after a couple of days it started to heal and the infection cleared away!

I have used tea tree oil mixed with lavender on my acne. Also I have used tea tree oil on my nose after I got it pierced. Then one time when my son got lice we started spraying it in our hair. We all have long thick hair so far we have never had lice since 🤞I love tea tree oil

I love tea tree I used to put it in the shampoo when the kids were in school to prevent lice. Thanks for more tips :)

I dab tea tree oil on my breakouts and it works really well for a spot treatment. I also dab it on mosquito bites and it takes away the itch :)

Thank you! I am having a discouraging red puffy flakey eczema flare up on my face for the past 3 weeks. From the sides of my nose all the way down to my chin and all around my lips. I just applied coconut oil with tea tree on it. Let’s see how it goes!

Thanks Dr.Axe !!!You really are God sent not everyone can afford to see a doctor

Kills cold sores like none other!! I was on high dose prescription for mine because they got so bad and tea tree oil mixed with coconut oil is amazing!!! Thats all I use now!

Tea tree oil, is one of the oils, on my scalp. Great for itching scalp.

I got rid of a gum abscess with tea tree oil took about 30 days I also brushed my teeth with a coconut oil and baking soda mix then rinsed with peroxide after that pour a drop or 2 on tip of finger then rub directly onto abscess but I still got tooth removed before it could return but these are the step I did while waiting on my dentist appointment worked wonders

I had a very bad fungus on both my big toes and I started to puit tea tree oil as well as thieves oil once at night and in the morning, I started to take it in August of 2015, by Halloween of 2015 both of the fungus on my toes were completely gone. I want to add that I had the fungus on my toes for several years.

I had a skin tag, the size of a pencil eraser. I put tea tree oil on it for about 3 days. After about 7 days it dried up and fell off. Just put on a napkin and hold on the skin tag for about 10 minutes a day. For about 3 days. They will dry up and fall off.

Been struggling with cystic acne for a year... I just started using it 3 days ago and I see a big difference... I want to mix it with my aloe vera lotion

It is awesome on Poison Ivy!! It kills the itch instantly and lasts for hours and hours!! 🥰

I use tea tree oil directly on my face and body for acne and I love the results

Thank you so much for this video Dr. Axe!! I love tea tree oil for itchy scalp!! I mix a few drops into apple cider vinegar/water mix and it works so well for itchy scalp!!💖☺️

I used this for my acne it works great!

Great for dry eyes & blepharitis. Cured mine. You put it on topically on your eye lids with a q tip & on lashes. Close your eyes when you do it.. Also cures seborrheic dermatitis. Mine was on my eyebrows. Nothing else worked but this!!!! twice a day for 2 to 3 weels. The itching & the flaking went away!!!!!!

I make a face toner using witch hazel, purified water (50/50) and 10 drops tea tree in an 8 oz bottle. Shake each use and wet a cotton pad with it. Let sit on skin until dry and then go about your business. It has worked wonders for my skin.

sinus headache, I put a drop on finger and put at base of nostril just a little inside nose and it really helps.... :)

I used a baking soda and tea tree shampoo to heal a dogs fungal skin infections. It took about 3 baths (1 a month) for it to really show a big difference. It was one of my secrets as a groomer to use that to kill fungal infections.

It help for mosquito bites aswell

For toenail fungus buy a very small drill bit and twist it on the toenail making about 10 holes over the infected area. And apply at the edge. As the fungus dies it can be scraped out exposing more fungus for killing. Repeat until you got it all or until you can remove the nail and keep killing the bed of fungus. Or what ever works.

Tea tree oil has changed my life, seriously! Cleared up acne and BEST thing for ANY female infections!👍

love this guy :-) , I've learn so much from him and now I'm helping others.

I have used tea tree oil this past year for my psoriasis. It has definitely helped.

l had acne which had become a real problem. A facial routine tailored to my skin type and tea tree oil is what gave me relief and such terrific results.

its good for yeast infections mix a 2 drops in 1 oz of oil apply to a pad.

I put this on cold soars around my mouth and it heals it quick. Can’t believe how well it works.

I am not a scientist, however I have used Tea Tree oil for myself and my Autistic Nephew. We used it for oral care and foot fungal issues. I would suggest that you buy more than one bottle.

I had the pupps rash while pregnant and I used this oil with witch hazel. I felt like it helped. I just used a few drops of both on a cotton ball and rubbed my rash.

Ive had this in my closet the whole time and this video helped me appreciate it that im lucky to have one!

I had some one very dear to me who burnt her skin with concentrated tea tree oil...luckily ,after a couple of months the burn marks went away .so please use it wisely

I use tea tree for my eczema and it works wonders!

Used lavender and melalucca this past weekend on an allergy rash! Will have to try your other suggestions and this mix worked within five minutes. Thank you!!

I've read it is also used as a remedy in fighting against an infestation of demodex mites on scalp and eyebrows. We all have these microscope mites living in the roots of our hair, but people with a weakened immune system are prone to having too many, leading to an infestation, which causes suffering.

I really don't know how I found you, but you are amazing, I been watching each video because is so. interesting. Thanks you are really professional.

Great information Doc, tea tree oil mixed with caster oil can help to control nasnel polyps, I have used it is doing its job.

It's a great deodorant! I see so many people using commercial deodorants full of cemicals they don't even the names of. You don't want your kids to touch/inhale such chemicals. I personally like to use tea tree oil in shoes when they're smelling bad and I can't wash them.

Very Quick healer of red skin swelling sores of any kind I got Tea Tree Oil already mixed at Osco drugs

My doctor's name is doctor Josh Axe, love this doctor!

Love this guy. So informative and thoughtful.

It's very well known for fighting nasal polyps, additionally.

Hi Dr. Axe I love your videos they are so informative! I was thinking about using the tea tree oil for my hair and you mentioned in your video that people with acne can use it on their face as a home remedy. I wanted to ask you what the time frame is for the tea tree oil and honey mask. Should I do it once a day? Once a week or what? You didn't mention the time frame so please let me know if its okay to use everyday or what. I have acne and really bad scars from it so I want to try and see if this remedy would help me. I'd appreciate if you let me know! Thank you :)

It cured my Blepharitis too.

Thank you Dr Axe for putting this up! it is helping alot for my Acne

Hey Dr. Axe, love your blog and content you put out. Awesome personality too!
