Apply pure tea tree oil or diluted if desirable, sparingly, directly to the site of the problem: rashes, cuts, or itches. Tea Tree Oil has powerful abilities to clean and help heal wounds and skin ailments in people and animals. Horse owners have also found a use for tea tree oil as a fly repellant. Application around horses eyes, face and body helps to repel flies. The oil also acts as a preventative measure against infection or irritation of the skin.
Pure Tea Tree Oil conforming to Australian standard A.S.D. 175, revised 1985, is a powerful broad-range antiseptic, fungicide, and bactericide. In fact, Tea Tree Oil is four to five times stronger than household antiseptics. Its bacterial action is increased in the presence of blood, serum, pus and necrotic tissue. It is able to penetrate deeply into infected tissue and pus, mix with these, and cause them to slough off while leaving a healthy surface. The oil has a very low toxicity, and is virtually a non-irritant even to sensitive tissues. Because of its lower cineole level, Tea Tree Oil is less toxic and less irritating than eucalyptus oil.
