Lets take tea tree oil as an example.

Tea tree oil or melaleuca oil, is taken from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia, which is native to the northeast coast of New South Wales, Australia. Lets not confuse tea tree oil with tea oil, the sweet seasoning and cooking oil from pressed seeds of the tea plant Camellia sinensis (beverage tea), or the tea oil plant Camellia oleifera.

The eastern Australia people  use “tea trees” as a traditional medicine by inhaling the oils from the crushed leaves to treat coughs and colds. They also sprinkle leaves on wounds. In addition, tea tree leaves are soaked to make an infusion to treat sore throats or skin ailments.

Tea tree oil has been scientifically investigated only recently. Some sources suggest beneficial medical properties when applied topically, including antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiseptic qualities. It also has beneficial cosmetic properties.  Also, there is clinical evidence that topical dermatological preparations containing tea tree oil may be more effective than conventional antibiotics.

Recent studies support a role for the topical application of tea tree oil in skin care and for the treatment of various diseases and conditions. Tea tree oil appears to be effective against bacteria, viruses, fungal infections. Very effective in acne or dandruff treatments.
