    I suggest to dilute it because the oil is quite toxic. My wife has moderate success with this method.

    Not a doctor, not giving medical advice.

      Just to clarify to not confuse OP. When you say dilute that means mixing it with another oil, right? Like coconut oil or something?

        Yes. You can mix it with other oils. It can be an irritant for certain people.

        Tea tree oil has antiseptic properties and anti fungal properties and is typically a component in treatments for foot fungus and other skin treatments.
