How do you use tea tree oil?

Tea tree oil is found in the leaves off of the Melaleuca Alternifolia, which is found in Southeast Queensland and Australia. It has a strong odor rivaling that of peppermint and is nearly colorless. But how to use it?

Start by trimming and filing the nail down, apply 100% pure tea tree oil directly onto the nails at least 2 times a day. Be sure to be thorough during your application. Tea tree oil has been known to be relatively drying to the skin so after application applies a small amount of moisturizing lotion to your feet and give your cuticles a nice massage to stimulate growth.

Most people have claimed that after using the tea tree oil method they saw results after just one month but don’t be discouraged if you haven’t seen results immediately. Be diligent with your application and be patient! Results will show in time, it takes anywhere from 6 to 8 months for a full nail to grow in completely but it’s different for everyone.

Tea tree oil is a great and inexpensive home cure to treating your toenail fungus, so give it a try today! You’ve got nothing to lose, and so much to gain. Nail fungus treated with tea tree oil is very common.
