how effective is tea tree oil on germs
One study has shown that tea tree oil is more active against the organisms associated with transient carriage than against commensal skin flora and thus may be useful in eliminating the transient flora while suppressing but maintaining commensal flora. 21 The rapid kill rate of Clone 88 compared with standard tea tree oil shown for most of the organisms tested in the present study is encouraging and suggests that further clinical studies should be carried out.
