Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)
Most frequently recommended for the treatment of athletes foot, Candida, in fact any sort of fungus. Tea Tree oil is an effective all round anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal oil. Many authorities recommend using Tea Tree neat (undiluted) but much recent evidence shows that it is actually more effective in a 2% dilution. I personally consider it much too harsh to use undiluted on the skin.
Tea Tree is the usually suggested aromatherapy remedy for Ringworm. If I were trying to treat this fungal infection I’d go with a weak (ie 12 drops/ounce of carrier) dilution of Tea Tree in Jojoba Oil.
