Question

Passage 9
Tea tree oil can kill bacteria and fungi. It comes from the evergreen leaves of the Australian Melaleuca alternifolia tree.
Tea tree oil has been used as complementary therapy in surgery, burn care, and dental care. Numerous tea tree oil body care
products are available, including soap, shampoo, toothpaste, lip balm, topical (used on the skin) cream, and essential oil.
What is tea tree oil used for? People usually use tea tree oil to treat minor cuts, burns, acne, athlete‘s foot, mild fungal
nail infections, vaginal yeast infections, and lung problems (when they add the oil to a bath or vaporizer). Although there is little
research on tea tree oil, some studies suggest that it is safe and often effective for the prevention and treatment of infections.
Experts consider tea tree oil to be safe as a topical treatment, and you can apply it directly to the skin on a daily basis.
When applied to the skin in its pure (100% oil) form, tea tree oil seldom causes irritation. But some people develop an allergic
rash (contact dermatitis). If you are concerned that you might develop a rash, try the oil first on a small area of skin. You can also
dilute tea tree oil with vegetable, olive, or almond oil.
Tea tree oil is not safe to take by mouth. It is not recommended for use in the ears, because it may cause damage to the
inner ear.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate tea tree oil in the same way it regulates medicines. It
can be sold with limited or no research on how well it works.
It is deemed essential to tell your doctor if you are using an alternative product or if you are thinking about combining
one with your conventional medical treatment. It may not be safe to forgo your conventional medical treatment and rely only on
an alternative product.
