Tea tree shampoo

Tea tree shampoo can be effectively used to treat skin and scalp irritations. Tea tree shampoo doesn’t cause imbalance in the skins natural bacteria so it’s gentle enough to use every day.

Here’s an article written by the International Aromatherapy and Herb Association about the benefits of tea tree shampoo:-

A tea tree oil shampoo, or any natural shampoo with 2% tea tree oil (10 drops to an eight- ounce bottle), will help to unblock clogged hair follicles, moisturize the hair and keep the scalp free of bacteria and fungal problems.

Dry hair requires a gentle, non-detergent based product; a 2% solution of tea tree oil in a moisturizing shampoo will help to unblock sebaceous glands and encourage the flow of the body’s own moisturizing oils, while clearing away unsightly dead skin cells.

For oily skin, a gentle tea tree oil moisturizing shampoo will help cleanse the scalp of bacterial and fungal irritations and help to disperse dead skin cells. Tea tree oil mixed with other essential oils is especially good as a scalp treatment for relieving dandruff. Medical professionals list infection, poor diet, blood circulation and inadequate nerve stimulation as some of the causes of dandruff. A yeast that lives on the scalp, Pityrosporum ovale, and a fungus called trichoplyton spp also contributes to dandruff conditions.

While there are many anti-fungal and bacterial soaps and shampoos on the market, tea tree oil offers a natural alternative. A recent study indicates that a pharmaceutical grade of a tea tree oil in low concentrations helps to eliminate bacteria and fungus on the scalp, as well as Pityrosporum ovales. There have also been reports that by massaging the oil into the scalp, new hair growth is promoted.

Tea tree shampoo as a dandruff treatment

Bastyr Center for Natural Health explains about what causes dandruff, and how tea tree shampoo can be used to effectively treat dry scalp irritations:-

Dandruff is a condition of the skin, characterized by flakiness, dryness, and itching of the scalp. Some, though not all, studies suggest that dandruff is caused by a specific type of fungus called Pityrosporum ovale, and some cases of dandruff can be effectively treated with anti-fungal medications such as selenium sulfide, ketoconazole (Nizoral®), and terbinafine (Lamisil®). Tea tree oil has been shown to be an effective anti-fungal agent, which may explain why it is beneficial for those with dandruff.

Adults with dandruff may show significant improvement in their symptoms by washing their hair once a day with a shampoo containing 5% tea tree oil, according to a new study in Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (2002;47:852–5). The authors of this report believe that tea tree oil helps kill a specific type of fungus that is thought to be the underlying cause of dandruff.
