Steam distilled from branches. Maybe good for abscesses, boils, burns, cold sores, dandruff, infected skin, impetigo, insect bites, warts, and acne.

It is also useful in deterring candida and yeast infections. Sex toys may benefit from being cleaned with tea tree. May also help protect from radiation burns – afterward use rose and lavender.
