Great day!!! I just wanted to say that I am 54 years old that had severe acne and have spent $100's of dollars on products that did not work!!! After trying the tea tree oil and manuka honey mask, I started to see a significant change (3 days) and as of today it has been a complete 7 days and my acne is GONE!!! I wanna thank you Dr. Axe!!! You are amazing!!!
Wow that's amazing .
Amazing
I have had what I can only describe as severe acne on the back of my neck since I was 17, I am now 51 and it had never gone away. I have tried All of the over the counter products to get rid of it to no avail. Recently I mixed 1oz of tea tree oil with a half cup of coconut oil and a half cup of aloe vera gel and 1 small tube of neosporin. I started applying the mixture 3 to four times per day and to my utter amazement, within just one week the acne was completely cleared up. I continued applying the mixture for another two weeks before discontinuing. That was several months ago and the acne has not returned. This is the first time I have been acne free on my neck in over three decades.
Eric Smith I have the same issue with my back. I will definitely try this.
@@CherryBlossomskt if it works, please come back and say something, either way.
You can be allergic to the detergent you use. Try one without parfum and color. Has helped me for my face acne (pillowcase)

Used this for shingles. Tea tree oil 50%, Vitamin E oil 50% (30,000 IU or above) and a few drops of Lavender essential oil - OMG, so much relief!!!!! Mix in an opaque bottle and apply a few times a day.
Thanks, great video ! I have some but never used it because I was afaid ... didn't know how to use it correctly !
I mixed it with cannabis oil and lavender oil and had an incredible success in treating psoriasis!
Can you explain please? My mum is struggling with psiorasis
@@lailafahmi8055 llanos please let 09
I get bad ezcema and fungal issues . I use tea tree oil diluted every morning after I wake up without fail .
Tea tree saved me from expensive vet bills when my cat used to come home after fighting with another cat .. it made any abscesses all better without getting an infection. I’m Australian so wev’e used it here for years 👍 I’ve used tea tree oil roll on deodorant for 20 years ! Would never ever use another aluminium deodorant again
You are awesome and high five of encouragement to your Mom. Thank you so much!
So true! I use honey and tea tree oil on my face every night and my skin is beautiful! My acne went away! I have been doing this for almost 6 months and I love it!
Yessika Amezqua are you still doing it?
You applied it to whole face or only on acne
Did you have to wash it out or leave it in
@@beckyojo254 Honey is very sticky, so wash it off.
Thank you for the information. I am using it for the first time and wanted to make sure I use it correctly.
I love all you videos. I always use those essential oils topically and they are very effective. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for this video Dr. Axe!! I love tea tree oil for itchy scalp!! I mix a few drops into apple cider vinegar/water mix and it works so well for itchy scalp!!💖☺️
Awesome! Really great stuff shared, Doc. Axe, thank you!
cucumber juice and green tea make a really good toner but I got tired of making it fresh ever week. so I got Thayer's witch-hazel with rose oil and added my own tea tree oil and I absolutely love it. oh and if you drink green tea don't waste the leaves use them as a mild exfoliator. I love using what god gave us to use for healing!
I love the smell of tea tree, it’s great for skin care routines. My skin feels so fresh after each use.
I didn't hear anything concerning cough and cold, congestion, ear ache. Mouth care.. it's good for those also
I used the tea tree oil mixed with coconut oil on my scalp for very itchy and dry scalp inflammation! 😁
Thank you Dr. Yes tea tree oil is AWESOME! I have used it. it works wonderfully.
also good for sinus, put a few drops into a bowl of hot water and take in the steam
thanks for sharing, I will certainly be employing these uses .
I really don't know how I found you, but you are amazing, I been watching each video because is so. interesting. Thanks you are really professional.
Thanks Dr.Axe !!!You really are God sent not everyone can afford to see a doctor

@Taree Nichols: Cute profile pic.😊
Ive had this in my closet the whole time and this video helped me appreciate it that im lucky to have one!
The doctor or the tee tree oil?
My doctor's name is doctor Josh Axe, love this doctor!
Thanks for the precious information. I just get added to the list of your subscribers 👍.
I dab tea tree oil on my breakouts and it works really well for a spot treatment.
I also dab it on mosquito bites and it takes away the itch :)
Hey Dr. Axe, love your blog and content you put out. Awesome personality too!
I had a black toe nail, and the tea tree oil cleared it right up. I love both tea tree and oil of oregano.
I got on tie nail fungus just started😫 how do you apply ? Do you mix with something ? What time and do you need to cover your toe nail ? Thank you in advance 🙏
The minute I get a scratchy throat or feel any kind of sickness coming on, I pop 2 oil of oregano caplets every 6 hours for the day and it's gone! My daughter had covid I started taking it and I was around her for 10 days, never got it! I swear by it!! And so does all my family 😊
@@mithugilbert5257Sorry, I’m just seeing this. Put droplets underneath the toenail
Can you put tea tree oil on a band-aid and wrap it around the toe
Whenever I put some tea tree oil on my spots it helps a great deal. 👍🏻
Tea tree oil is " The Wonder From Down Under ". We have used this since 1991. It is AMAZING !! I can go on and on about this product ! Most people have no idea about this oil. Years back my parents had a stray kitty who was wild. It would come to their deck and eat the cat food my parents had to feed their own cats. One day I noticed the kitty wasn't acting well. She must have been attacked from another animal because her face on one side was terribly infected and was really swollen and abscessed. I knew exactly what I needed to put on her. She needed Tea Tree Oil. The only problem was she was wild and scared of us. So how was I to get the oil in her face ?? I knew if I didn't she was days from dying. She was already in so much pain it sadden me to see her suffer So I bought a squirt bottle from town, out a few drops of oil in it and then water. I knew I had one chance to get the oil on her infected face. I waited till she came to the deck to sneak in to my parents kitty dish they left out on the deck for their own kitties. Soon I got my chance. The cat came to eat. I grabbed the water squirt bottle and squirted her in the face. She took off running and shaking her head ! But here's the amazing thing ! She had stayed away a few days out of fear but when she came back the big Pusey abcess had gone down in size incredibly!! With only one squirt that cats life was saved. Eventually the sore healed completely. Where the abcess was she had lost all her fur. But it grew back as time went on. I have COUNTLESS stories to tell thru the years of using this oil. More animal stories after another. When our daughter was little she got the chickenpox. We had a lotion with the oil in it. So I started soothing her itchy skin by applying the lotion. It helped her not to scratch where the pic was and also after she was well she had NO scars from it. We had been told it would help heal the pox and prevent scarring. Again another true testimony of this wonder oil. Our teen aged son got herpes in his mouth. It was HORRIBLE ! It spread in his nose as well. He was CRAZY in pain !! He was so sick ! I took him to see our family doctor and all he could do was prescribe him this clear jelly looking stuff in a bottle that numbed his mouth when he swished it around. But the numbness lasted only a few minutes. Lo g story short he was almost hospitalized because the pain was so intense he stopped eating and drinking. I started having my son swish the oil mixed with water in his mouth and the minute he did it would sooth his mouth. And AGAIN the oil went right to work and his mouth started healing ! I took him back to our doctor and he was amazed. And wanted to know where to buy the stuff. He was also going going to start telling his patience about this remarkable oil. This oil is used as disinfectant to clear Mersa in Australia hospitals and for just basic cleaning supplies in Australia. You can buy toothpaste with this oil in it and it helps prevent gum disease. It's also used in shampoos and conditioners. The list goes in and on. Our family is never without this product in our house. You can buy it in Walmart and I'm sure many other stores. I like to impress people by demonstrating how fast this stuff penetrates the skin. It goes 7 layers deep within seconds ! Take a balloon and blow it up. Then put a tiny dot of the oil on the balloon and it will immediately pop ! Well I guess by now you know our family and many others are indebted to this miracle from down under oil. I recommend anyone and everyone to try this oil ! You can use it with or without diluting it. You can mix it in lotions, toothpaste, ect. Oh my goodness one more story and will shut up ! A friend of ours got burned extremely bad. Part of his arm literally was on fire. He was rushed to the ER. After being treated in the hospital they gave him antibiotics and some kind of ointment to keep on the wound. It wasn't healing well and he contacted my husband to see where he could buy the oil. We gave him ours. The oil went right to work . It soothed his burn and began healing his arm. And guess what ? After almost 30 years later no scarring !
Thanks for sharing your story ❤
Thank you! I am having a discouraging red puffy flakey eczema flare up on my face for the past 3 weeks. From the sides of my nose all the way down to my chin and all around my lips. I just applied coconut oil with tea tree on it. Let’s see how it goes!
I started using tea tree oil on my face before bed about two weeks ago and my hormonal acne is 90% gone! It’s also getting rid of my acne scars. I wish I had discovered this a while ago.
Hi @Tamara Kelly , how do you apply it? How many drops? With some sort of base? .. thanks,
Hi @@redstone3985. I did not use a base. After washing my face, I would use a couple of drops and rub it in along the cheek/jaw line. I had minimal peeling (which I believe is what got rid of the scars). I recommend coconut oil for the base and exfoliating at least twice a week.
ThanXx Tamara ! Appreciate the intel 🙂
Can I use tea tree oil with aloe vera gel..... daily and how long applied on my face this mixture
Thank you Dr Axe for putting this up! it is helping alot for my Acne
Love this guy. So informative and thoughtful.
I put on my feet for dry skin on toes and cracked heels. It works amazingly!
Oh, great tip thank you,I’ll be trying it.♥️
I had the pupps rash while pregnant and I used this oil with witch hazel. I felt like it helped. I just used a few drops of both on a cotton ball and rubbed my rash.
I use it after shaving with coconut oil,
1drop tea tree oil mix with a little bit more than a drop of coconut oil and applied aftershave
I cured very bad toenail fungus by using 50-50 mix of tea tree oil and thieves oil, took about a month and a half. It was amazing to see my toe nails start to look normal again.
no way...
:o
Did u try eucalyptus rub or Oregano oil?
Thieves oil? Whats that?
Wow did you just apply it directly? How did you do it? I have that too nothing is working
My sister had the same success but mixed it with coconut oil
I got rid of a gum abscess with tea tree oil took about 30 days I also brushed my teeth with a coconut oil and baking soda mix then rinsed with peroxide after that pour a drop or 2 on tip of finger then rub directly onto abscess but I still got tooth removed before it could return but these are the step I did while waiting on my dentist appointment worked wonders
I had a traffic accident and had a wound in my leg that got badly infected..antibiotics wasn’t working... I remembered the tea tree oil was good for it and I started applying in it, fair enough after a couple of days it started to heal and the infection cleared away!
It is awesome on Poison Ivy!! It kills the itch instantly and lasts for hours and hours!! 🥰
Been struggling with cystic acne for a year... I just started using it 3 days ago and I see a big difference... I want to mix it with my aloe vera lotion
sinus headache, I put a drop on finger and put at base of nostril just a little inside nose and it really helps.... :)
l had acne which had become a real problem. A facial routine tailored to my skin type and tea tree oil is what gave me relief and such terrific results.
you are my friend!! This remedy is # 1 in the world my teeth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have used tea tree oil this past year for my psoriasis. It has definitely helped.
What name brand do u use?
I love all your videos your so smart. thank you for helping us.
Hi Dr. Axe I love your videos they are so informative! I was thinking about using the tea tree oil for my hair and you mentioned in your video that people with acne can use it on their face as a home remedy. I wanted to ask you what the time frame is for the tea tree oil and honey mask. Should I do it once a day? Once a week or what? You didn't mention the time frame so please let me know if its okay to use everyday or what. I have acne and really bad scars from it so I want to try and see if this remedy would help me. I'd appreciate if you let me know! Thank you :)
Just make sure it's medical grade TTO. Makes a huge difference in effectiveness!
Love natural remedies--So glad I found your channel on CZcams!
l mi
JODI LEE me too! It's a Blessing.
Yes,i also love it.
cheers Doc, this video did help me. thanks mate.
I use Tea Tree Oil in diffuser and also on my skin. Thank you Dr. Axe. I follow all your advice.
Thanks for sharing!!
its good for yeast infections mix a 2 drops in 1 oz of oil apply to a pad.
Tea tree oil is also great to put on warts. I have had a wart on my shin for years, and recently figured out what it was, I also developed another one, but I have been putting Tea Tree oil on it and they both are disappearing so incredibly. I wish I would have known this before having a wart cut out of my heel by a doctor 3 times from it growing back. Just proof going natural is always best. :)
Thanks for the information
Wonder if this would work on skin tags
Thanks for another great video! How do you feel about derma-rollers? Some people say that they are great but I've also heard that they can tear up your skin! Thanks!
It help for mosquito bites aswell
I had some one very dear to me who burnt her skin with concentrated tea tree oil...luckily ,after a couple of months the burn marks went away .so please use it wisely
Very Quick healer of red skin swelling sores of any kind I got Tea Tree Oil already mixed at Osco drugs
Thank u sooo much looking forward to watch more of ur videos!!!
Thanks Dr Josh Axe for this great informational ❤️❤️
Thanks Dr Axe ... Great info ... What about Frankincense essential oil? Would you please do a video about this oil.
I have used tea tree oil mixed with lavender on my acne. Also I have used tea tree oil on my nose after I got it pierced. Then one time when my son got lice we started spraying it in our hair. We all have long thick hair so far we have never had lice since 🤞I love tea tree oil
Can it help in hair loss?
great video I'm try on my face and legs
Kills cold sores like none other!! I was on high dose prescription for mine because they got so bad and tea tree oil mixed with coconut oil is amazing!!! Thats all I use now!
How did you use it? Did you ingest it?
Thank you i
I used a baking soda and tea tree shampoo to heal a dogs fungal skin infections. It took about 3 baths (1 a month) for it to really show a big difference. It was one of my secrets as a groomer to use that to kill fungal infections.
For toenail fungus buy a very small drill bit and twist it on the toenail making about 10 holes over the infected area. And apply at the edge. As the fungus dies it can be scraped out exposing more fungus for killing. Repeat until you got it all or until you can remove the nail and keep killing the bed of fungus. Or what ever works.
What time do you apply on your toe nail ? Do you mix with something ? Do I need to cover my toe nail after applying ? Thank you in advance🙏
@@mithugilbert5257 your first few applications can be straight oil... but you have to make the holes with the drill bit....make many many holes. Dont get too much on your skin to the sides of your nail. If you make holes it will penetrate nicely. No holes and it will do nothing. After a few days you should maybe mix with coconut oil maybe drop for drop. Coconut oil is also anti fungal/viral/bacterial but not strong enough alone. You can also get crushed black walnut hull and soak it in the coconut oil and use that mix too. If you can drill 30 holes in every nail or get two sizes of drill bits. Make a small hole and come back with the larger bit....twist the bits with your finger only, no machine of coarse. It wont hurt at all on infected nails.
My mom just got a bad bout of hives making her miserable. I'm about to make her a Melaleuca (Renew) lotion mix with more tea tree oil and some coconut oil! Thank you
thank you so much for you very interesting information.
I'm getting ready to use this for unfortunately scabies I have heard it kills them !!!!! Tried the prescription cream twice n now new bites. I'm using I cup of coconut oil qnd one tbsp of tea tree . Praying it works . I get so paranoid about trying new things . Thansk for the video
Great video. I always keep tea tree oil on hand all the time! Thanks Dr. Axe. I use it for the skin ailments (urticaria) and throw about 7-8 drops with Eucalyptus or Lavender bath salts and Mandarin oil in the bathtub. It's great for the skin.❤
Tea tree oil, is one of the oils, on my scalp. Great for itching scalp.
What are the other oils you use for your scalp?
Same here. Sometimes I massage it in the day before washing my hair and sleep with it in. Other times I apply right after washing and massage it in and it is so soothing and cool and really tames that itchiness down.
My lip was starting to puff up with a cold sore.
I woke up put 100% tea tree oil on the area and its already lessen the inflammation
Loads of thanks, Dr Axe
Thanks Dr Ax... May God Bless u ok
Very informative video!!! Plenty of tips.. thank you!
I had a skin tag, the size of a pencil eraser. I put tea tree oil on it for about 3 days. After about 7 days it dried up and fell off. Just put on a napkin and hold on the skin tag for about 10 minutes a day. For about 3 days. They will dry up and fall off.
I love all your videos ive been following you for 3 years!
I use tea tree oil directly on my face and body for acne and I love the results
Gulistan Abdullah what tea tree oil ? Please. Thank u
I am not a scientist, however I have used Tea Tree oil for myself and my Autistic Nephew. We used it for oral care and foot fungal issues. I would suggest that you buy more than one bottle.
Do you have a video on eucalyptus oil? I used it to cure an infected cut on my hand and I would love to know more about its uses.
for my face routine i use a lot of oils, i cleanse using nuetrogenaance grapefruit face wash, then i tone my face with a half part rose water half part witch hazel, then moisturize with the acne fighting one from clean and clear and i add in 2 drops of each of these oils: lavender, frankincense, and tea tree and this works really really well for combination skin( your face is both oily and dry in different areas)
What about sensitive skin
I love this oil . It’s really useful for everything
Great video. What would you mix the oil with to treat scalp folliculitis?
Dr. axe, do u think that dr.bronners tea tree liquid soap is good to use for acne? I have sensitive combination acne prone skin.
Hello Dr Josh. Great informative video...thank you. Just wondering if this iol would help treat and shrink Polpys. I have been suffering from problems associated with it...like breathing,loss of smell and taste etc. Thanking you.
great information! thanks!
@Dr. Josh Axe Is it useful for acne scars?? If yes, how to use it??
It cured my Blepharitis too.
I put this on cold soars around my mouth and it heals it quick. Can’t believe how well it works.
Thank you 🙏🏽
I use it on mosquito bites. Works like a charm
It can be ingested if using doTERRA brand. I use it with Oregano in a veggie capsule as a natural antibiotic.
Do you have any recommendations that are organic and healthy to use as you explained in the video? It’s hard to tell which are good to use
