Tea Tree Oil Uses In Health

Improves Wound Healing

Several studies suggest tea tree oil improves wound healing. One study revealed tea tree oil helped heal Staphylococcus aureus-infected wounds faster in nine of ten participants.

A study from 2014 gave promising results as well. In the study, thirty-two elderly participants were divided into two groups. Each participant was affected by either stage two or above methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSA-infected wounds. One group had their wounds treated with ten percent topical tea tree preparation dressing, and the others were given a saline gauze dressing. Patients treated with the tea tree oil dressing had their wounds healed in approximately four weeks. In addition, the tea tree oil helped get rid of all the bacteria in fourteen of the wounds. Fair results were also shown in a 2011 uncontrolled case series. Eleven participants with wounds infected by MRSA were treated with water-miscible tea tree oil every day or three times per week. Following treatment, wounds on eight of the participants had shrunk.
