Details

Now Tea Tree Oil is an essential oil derived from distilling leaf extracts of the Melaleuca plant. For many centuries, Tea Tree Oil has been used by aborigines in Australia as an antiseptic. In recent years, it has increasingly become a popular aromatherapy massage oil. It contains an anti-microbial ingredient called Terpenoids.

NOW Tea Tree Oil is an effective disinfectant for bruises, burns, and other skin infections. Since it is high-concentrated, we advise you to gently dilute small amounts of NOW Tea Tree Oil with NOW Jojoba Oil per application to avoid harsh effects on sensitive skin.

Keep out of reach of children. Strictly for external and aromatherapeutic purposes only. In cases of accidental ingestion, please call a physician or the Poison Control Center immediately.

Questions on Now Tea Tree Oil - 4 fl.oz

From LINDA at 6/7/12 9:10 AM
- What are symptoms if ingested? At what quantities?
- Hi Linda,
  
  Thank you for your question.
  
  Tea Tree Oil poisonings are fairly rare, but they do occur. Death depends on how much has been ingested. Tea tree oil toxicity is equal to 1.9 g per kilogram, or about 1 teaspoon per half pound of body weight. This is considered a lethal dose in 50% of persons or animals
  
  Tea tree oil should not be used orally; there are reports of toxicity after consuming tea tree oil by mouth. Tea tree oil may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, confusion, drowsiness, lethargy, uncoordinated walking, depressed immune function and coma. While it has been cited that some evidence that tea tree oil used as a mouthwash may alleviate symptoms of gingivitis or thrush, a yeast infection of the mouth, it cautions that swallowing any amount of tea tree oil is toxic.
  
  We hope this information helps.
