Tea Tree Oil Treatment for Staph Skin Infections

Filed Under Eczema Treatment, Skin Diseases | Leave a Comment

Tea tree oil has traditionally been used by native American Indians for skin infections. Secrets have been passed down by them since generations ago on the use of herbs for a variety of health ailments. Tea tree oil has anti-bacterial properties, making it suitable as a natural remedy.

In fact, some natural health practitioners recommend tea tree oil in place of antibiotics for treating various staph skin infections. This is especially true in this day and age of over-prescriptions of antibiotics that the bacteria are becoming resistant to. Using tea tree oil is the best defence in the light of this circumstance.

Actually, staph is not normally a bacterium that we should worry about. It lives naturally in your skin as well as nose. However, staph is one of the bacteria that can cause quite a few more serious illnesses like pneumonia. There are also staph skin infections that have been rather resistant to antibiotics like MRSA (otherwise known as methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus). Typically limited to the skin, this MRSA spreads to the blood and bone to become a potentially deadly problem.

Many people who develop staph contract it from someone else. Tea tree oil is useful as a remedy because it can be used as a natural antiseptic. What is great is that tea tree oil can kill quite a few strains of bacteria including the MRSA. Some studies have shown that tea tree oil works just as well as some prescribed medications. The additional benefit of using this natural remedy is that there is few or little side effects.

Tea tree oil is also known to be effective in clearing up nasal infections. However, it is best used to treat in cases of skin infections and ulcers. Consult your natural health practitioner or your pharmacist about tea tree oil first before use.
