Tea Tree and the benefits for beard care

Tea Tree Oil- also known as Melaleuca alternifolia, comes from a small tree native to Austrailia. Tea Tree oil is known for its' antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, used by the Aboriginal people of Australia for centuries. Tea Tree oil contains a number of compounds, including terpinen-4-ol, that have been shown to kill certain bacteria, viruses and fungi. Terpinen-4-ol also appears to increase the activity of your white blood cells, which help fight germs and other foreign invaders.These germ-fighting properties make Tea Tree oil a valued natural remedy for treating bacterial and fungal skin conditions, preventing infection and promoting healing.
