What is Pranarom Tea tree essential oil used for?
Organic Tea tree essential oil has major anti-infectious, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-parasitic properties. It is also anti-inflammatory and immunostimulant, as well as anti-psoriatic through its anti-inflammatory activity thanks to the terpinene-4-ol molecule. It is an anti-asthenic, tonicardiac, phlebotonic and venous decongestant essential oil. It is also neurotonic and analgesic. It is active on various dermatological conditions, such as skin and mucous membranes, acne vulgaris, seborrheic dermatitis and chronic gingivitis. It accelerates healing, eliminating pathogenic skin flora while maintaining resident flora.
The tea tree is an Australian tree with thorny foliage that originally grew in swampy areas and is now cultivated on a large scale for essential oil production. During the Second World War, the Australian army health authorities distributed bottles of tea tree essential oil to their soldiers for use in the event of skin problems.
