so if your acne is mild to moderate may be offered the experience with some natural options that the decision of treatment by your doctor. As you may know, the tea tree oil comes from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a plant native to Australia and will be for thousands of years as a natural treatment of various diseases used by the aborigines of Australia, the Aborigines.

Tea tree oil is an essential oil and is extracted from the leaves of the plant by steam distillation. This process produces a pale yellow oil with a pungent but pleasant. The oil contains terpenoids, which are known antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial generate. While the oil can be applied topically (I do not recommend using 100% tea tree oil, but I will return), it can be extremely toxic if swallowed.

You may be wondering, “Why is tea tree oil in toothpastes and mouthwashes used if it is toxic?” I suggest to keep definitely a little tea tree oil in the medicine cabinet, because other than the use of tea tree oil for acne, I think has many other beautiful and useful properties.
