Simply add 5 to 10 drops of tea tree to your laundry detergent. You can also use a mixture of tea tree essential oil, vinegar, and water to clean fabrics, carpets, or sports equipment.

#7. Fight Toenail Fungus and Tinea Pedis

Tea Tree essential oil has the ability to kill parasites and fungal infections and is an excellent choice for treating nail fungus (onychomycosis), athlete's foot, and other conditions.

With a clean cotton swab, apply 2 to 5 undiluted drops of tea tree essential oil to the affected area. For stubborn fungus, consider mixing it with natural antifungal oregano essential oil.

Tea tree essential oil has also been shown to be beneficial in healing and eliminating warts, so simply apply a few drops of tea tree essential oil directly to the affected area once or twice a day for 30 days.

#8. Improve Foot Odor

This is another great example of the antibacterial activity of tea tree essential oil. If you are having trouble with smelly feet or always have a bad smell coming from your shoes, tea tree essential oil is a great way to get rid of it.

For smelly feet, mix about half a teaspoon of coconut oil with 2 to 3 drops of tea tree essential oil and apply it to your feet.

You can also try a recipe for a homemade exfoliating foot scrub oil to smooth your feet. To eliminate the odor inside your shoes, put 5 to 10 drops of tea tree essential oil into a spray bottle filled with half a bottle of water and shake well to spray the inside of your shoes. This also works for sports equipment.

#9. Kill Mold

A common problem that many people experience in their homes is mold infections, often without even realizing it. Sometimes, when people are exposed to this toxin in their homes, they may even begin to experience black mold symptoms. Consider getting an aromatherapy diffuser that diffuses tea tree essential oil into the air in your home to kill mold and other harmful bacteria.

In addition, you can spray tea tree essential oil multipurpose cleaner on your shower curtain, washing machine, dishwasher, or toilet to kill mold and other bacteria.

#10. Natural DIY Deodorant

Another important reason to use tea tree essential oil is to eliminate body odor. Tea tree essential oil has antibacterial properties and can destroy bacteria on the skin that cause body odor. You can make your own deodorant by mixing a few drops of tea tree essential oil with coconut oil and baking soda. (Yes, you can see the many uses for coconut oil and baking soda too!)

#11. Care Wound

Tea tree essential oil is an ideal ingredient for homemade wound ointments because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties. If needed, make sure to wash the wound with water and hydrogen peroxide (also known as hydrogen peroxide, a disinfectant for medical surfaces), then apply 1 to 3 drops of tea tree oil and cover the wound with a bandage to help ward off infection.

#12. Natural Insect Repellent

Not only does tea tree essential oil act as a natural insect repellent, but it also helps to relieve the skin of mosquito bites. Because insect repellents often contain toxic chemicals, using a natural option like tea tree oil is gentler on your skin.

Just add 2 to 5 drops of tea tree essential oil to a spray bottle half-filled with water and spray on your skin, or mix 2 to 5 drops of tea tree essential oil with a teaspoon of coconut oil and rub it on your skin before you leave home. If you do get an insect bite, add 2 to 3 drops of tea tree to a clean cotton ball and apply to the affected area.

#13. Cough Relief

To relieve a cough caused by the common cold or other respiratory ailments, spray (incense) 5 drops of essential oil at home, or inhale tea tree oil directly from the bottle, or mix 1 to 2 drops of tea tree oil with ½ teaspoon of coconut oil and apply to the chest, neck, and back.
