tea tree oil
Australian plant remedy
Tea tree oil is an essential oil extracted from the leaves of the Australian tea tree, known for its antiseptic and antifungal properties.
It has a sharp, medicinal scent and is widely used in skincare products, particularly for treating acne, minor cuts, and fungal infections like athlete's foot.
A few drops of tea tree oil cleared up the blemish overnight.
Despite its name, the tea tree is unrelated to the plant used for drinking tea.
