If you haven’t dabbled in the world of essential oils before, this may be a foreign term to you, but the tea tree oil industry has been around since the 1920s. Discovered by Arthur Penfold, tea tree oil showed promise for treating ailments. Native to Australia, the tea tree plant, melaleuca alternifolia, was originally used by aboriginal people of Australia to treat skin infections wounds. “The oil (and even rubbing natural leaves on the skin) has been shown to have several different useful antiseptic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, some proven better than others,” says Jessica Krant, M.D., M.P.H., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York City.

Tea tree oil can be used in many ways but the best for colds is taking a hot bath with several drops of it in the water. An indication that it is working will be profuse sweating.
