Tea tree oil is a volatile essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the freshly harvested foliage of the Tea Tree [ Melaleuca alternifolia ]. The oil contains more than a hundred of natural compounds. It is a clear and colourless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odour. The pharmaceutical grade Tea Tree Oil contains: 1,8-cineole [ less than 4% ] terpinen-4-ol [ more than 38 % ] Basic properties: * Broad antimicrobial activity * Anti-fungal activity * Anti-viral activity * Does not destroy healthy * Penetrating properties * Minimal skin irritation [ Formulations less than 10% w/w pose less risk of skin irritation ] Oral administration of 100% Tea Tree Oil is not advocated. But, in France, doctors trained in aromatherapy. do prescribe oral dosage of essential oils. I find it very comforting for patients with complaints of bodyache, weakness and aching joints,fever with stuffy nose and a productive cough, by massaging their soles with a few drops of tea tree oil in Olive Oil at least twice a day. Patients down with influenza should be well hydrated. Ozonated water if available will be ideal. I always keep in readiness a few bottles of Cytolog, an execellent immune booster against the viral critters, for bad cases of flu victims. The recent Nipah virus epidemic in Malaysia has taught us to be always on our guard against these viral critters. Inhalation of ozonated Tea Tree Oil using a Bioregene Nebulizer is really helpful for the exhausting cough in any viral respiratory tract infection. This nebulizer can also be used for the inhalation of liquid colloidal minerals [ Colloidal silver,etc ] and diluted 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide.
