Tea Tree oil for Herpes
I find tea tree oil very useful in the treatment and prevention of herpes symptoms like cold sores or fever blisters. Real Tea tree oil is an essential oil made from the leaves of the Melaleuca Alternifolia tree. It is yellow / greenish and has a strong root or earth smell.
Australian natives use tea tree for its antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, insecticidal, and immune stimulant properties. It is also commonly used in aromatherapy today to treat all sorts of skin ailments like herpes, acne, yeast infection or candidiasis and to heal minor wounds and insect bites. Unlike other essential oils Tea tree can be used pure on the skin. I think you should keep some in your medicine closet especially if you have acne or recurrent yeast or herpes infections.
It can be blended with other oils to improve its efficacy against herpes. Tea tree essential oil efficacy against herpes was studied and results were very interesting. They confirmed that Tea tree oil was potent against herpes and prevented herpes replication. However like any other treatment, its efficacy was greatly diminished if used several hours after the beginning of the infection. I give more information on Tea tree and how to make your own essential oil herpes ointments in my book Herpes Wise. It is very important that you choose a good quality Tea tree oil. It should be undiluted, organic and pure. Poor quality essential oils always give poor quality results.
