Tea tree oil, which is made from distilling the tea tree’s leaves, has made a name for itself as a naturopathic treatment for skin ailments. Due to its natural antibiotic and anti-fungal properties, this essential oil is featured in pharmaceutical products and used on its own as an at-home remedy for the treatment of acne, dandruff and nail fungus. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, tea tree is said to be effective at reducing inflammation, redness, psoriasis and rosacea.
