Scientific Summary

Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) is an evergreen tree native to Australia whose needle‑like leaves produce a potent essential oil. The oil is commonly applied topically to treat acne, fungal infections, minor cuts, and to relieve skin inflammation, and it is also used as a natural antiseptic in household cleaners. Use only diluted oil on skin; it can cause irritation or allergic reactions in some people, should not be ingested, and young children should use it only under adult supervision.
