Athlete's Foot and Tea Tree Oil
- I had a bad case of athlete's foot on my big toe and in-between my toes. It was painful and itchy. I tried OTC ointments, creams and powders. It just seemed to keep getting worse. I read about Tea Tree Oil and I spread it over the infected area at night and also applied it during the day. Within 1 day I saw a change in the skin around my toe. Within 2 days the scaling has stopped and it looks as if it is healing. I have been dealing with this fungus for over a month so this quick rememdy is surprising to me. Tea Tree Oil is an antiseptic and really seems to work for athlete's foot.

It didn't work
- Tea tree oil did not work for me. Apparently, the topical medicines sold in drugstores or prescribed either are useless or take up to a year to work. I have tried most of it. I have been using a Young Living Essential Oil called Melrose. Within one month I noticed new growth coming from the nail bed. I usually rub the oil into the nails and the nail beds every other day. The oil is expensive, but it worked where the others didn't. It was a saving in the long run.

TEA TREE OIL
- I've been using anything and everything to clear up the "stuff" on my hands. About 3wks ago I started with tea tree oil, wash and lotion and it seems to be working. I believe it is in its last stage. I've had this for almost 4yrs. Nothing has cleared it up. I started using Corona ointment with lanolin that took it to a lot better place than I had ever been. Plus I would go through a lot of Band-aids. Then the Band-aids are less & less. Then I started using Avon's night body cream, Corona is such a heavy ointment I just use it from time to time now. Then I got a tea tree oil and I really do see it coming to an end. Yes! I have been to more than one dermatologist and they couldn't get it cleared up. So I struck out on my own, for the past 9 mos I really think the tree tea oil is the major reason it is clearing. I work with a lot of plants and flowers and I believe that it where I got the stuff. So far no one around me has this problem so for some reason it doesn't transfer from me.

Fire Ant Bite Relief
- I haven't used tea tree oil for fungus, but I am very allergic to fire ant bites and I have found that the application of tea tree oil provides some relief from the awful itching that goes along with the bites!
