Tea Tree Essential Oil
An immensely popular and infinitely-useful extract, tea tree oil contains powerful antimicrobial agents that even science admits are highly effective at warding off disease. In fact, tea tree oil has proved to be as strong as salicylic acid when it comes to eliminating the bacteria that causes acne, and can actually help control issues related to sebum secretion and pore dilation.
When not killing germs on the skin, tea tree oil is also highly effective at handling the inflammation those germs cause. Moreover, the oil has proved to be helpful in staving off damage from free radicals, which are known to cause damage to your body's cells.
Tea tree has a powerful aroma, which makes it quite an efficient mucus eliminator. However, not only does it eliminate the mucus itself, but it also controls coughing and reduces spasming in the lungs themselves. Curiously, when used topically, tea tree oil is equally effective at preventing muscle contractions.
