Buyer beware.
One of my sons had a few white dry patches on his face for a few weeks and it was getting worse. He came to me to see if I had something that could help. I gave him Melaleuca Alternifolia oil, otherwise known as Tea Tree, and told him to apply a few drops of it to the white patches.
In about three days he asked for the oil to reapply, because he only applied it once and the patches disappeared. He wanted to reapplied a second time to make sure they did not come back.
My other son who was known to have yeast-like symptoms had white flaky areas around his hairline and his scalp was dry as well. This had been a problem for him before. I put the Melaleuca around his entire hairline and into areas on his scalp for 2 days and forgot to reapply the third day.
After four days when I looked at his hairline, all the white flaky areas had all vanished. Now I am starting him on a yeast cleanse to clean from the inside. We had use Selsun Blue on his scalp in the past.
Thanks to Melaleuca oil, we no longer need to use it again.

| 3. | Associated topics: fungus — "To evaluate the eradication of house dust mites (HDM)... by direct contact using the essential clove oil (Eugenia caryophyllus).... A pilot study was initiated to determine the killing power of clove oil.... SEMs revealed dead mites on the fibers.... The zone of inhibition indicated significant clearance for all the bacteria and fungi indicating greater biocidal activity when compared to the controls.... Clove oil is a promising agent for killing dust mites with a potential use in dust-mite laden mattresses." | Link |
