Is tea tree oil safe?
There are many reports that tea tree oil when applied on the
skin can cause allergic
reactions. Some people may develop a mild dermatitis but others can develop a
severe blistering and painful
rash. People with allergy to any components of tea tree oil or related plants
like balsam of Peru should not use tea tree oil. Since tea tree oil has not
been thoroughly investigated, pregnant
women or those who are breast-feeding should refrain from using this product.
Tea tree oil should not be applied on the breast or nipples as it
can be absorbed by the breast-feeding infant.
