Abstract
The essential tea tree oil has been widely used in modern medicine and cosm etics in recent years. Although there are clinical data to show the benefic al effects (e.g. antiseptic, antimicrobial, antioxidative) of this oil, dos e-response studies are lacking. This paper reviews the clinical use of this essential oil, especially as a topical application.
