Research Articles
Essential oils have been found to kill the deadly MRSA bacteria by Life Sciences Medical News

Tea Tree Oil Effectively Kill Resistant Microorganisms,
WESTPORT, June 13, 2000 (Reuters Health) - Tea tree oil, a substance extracted from the leaves of an Australian tree, is effective in killing a variety of resistant microorganisms commonly found in hospitals, British and Australian researchers report in the May 2000, issue of the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. The researchers found that the two chemically different types of tea tree oil, standard and cloned, rapidly killed most organisms in less than 60 minutes. Both oils were found to be more active against methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) than against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA).
 
Infection (Journal); 38: 67 69.
Activity of Tea Tree Oil on Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)
New methods for the control of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are required to reduce the *increasing incidence of nosocomial MRSA infections and the increasing reservoir of MRSA within the community which lead to increasing numbers of colonized patients and staff. This is further complicated by the recent emergence of S. aureus with reduced susceptibility to vancomycin (VRSA),'which will strain our resources in the near future. Alternative approaches are thus required. Tea tree oil has been suggested as a possible topical agent with broad-spectrum antibacterial properties which could fulfill this role. It has been shown to be effective against clinical isolates of MRSA both in the UK and in Australia.

The essential oil of the tea tree, Melaleuca alternifolia, is a topical antimicrobial, which has been in use since early in this century (Carson and Riley 1993) by Europeans. Tea tree oil has the ability to kill a wide range of medically important micro organisms (Carson and Riley 1993, 1994; Shapiro et aL 1994; Carson etal. 1995; Belaiche etal. 1996; Hammer etal. 1996) and contains over 100 components, of which a pinene, terpinen 4 ol, linalool and a terpineol are lipophilic monoterpenes and the major active antimicrobial components of TTO (Carson and Riley 1995; Kim etal. 199S; Ranian etal. 199S).
Application Suggestions (see Essential Oil Usage):
Mist as often as desired to keep the skin cool and support regeneration.

1. I have dairy goats, and this Spring for the first time they developed sores on their udders after they kidded. I had the sores cultured and it came back as Staph Aureus. (We believe the staph came from a horse that was brought onto the property.) However, we tested after the sores started, and they spread like wild fire through the milking goats. I started using some essential oils that I had on hand, some therapeutic grade and some not. The staph was finally managed by using my own concoction of essential oils and genetian violet but still not totally out of the herd. One goat in particular was always boarder line. She would be clear, and then she would start developing a new pustule. Staph is a big reason for mastitis in dairy animals. We had the milk checked multiple times during the two months, and the milk was always clear, so this was a strain of staph that did not cause mastitis, just sores on the exterior of the udder and mainly at the hair line above the teat, but sometimes on the teat as well. I finally ordered some Staff Comfort from HEO and started using it. This was after the mass outbreak when I was down to just one or two goats that seemed to always be on the verge of breaking out again, but nothing like it was to start with. I started putting the Staff Comfort on those few goats, and within a day the potential spots for staph to develop were gone. Within three days I was confident that the goats didn't have any more staph issues. Now if a goat develops a little bump that might become a pustule of staph, I put the Staff Comfort on the spot and rub it in. I usually do it twice, and then the bump is totally gone. I wish I'd had Staff Comfort when the outbreak started; I think it would have shortened the duration of the outbreak. I hope that I never have mastitis caused from staph, but if I do, I will use Staff Comfort on the outside of the udder and would also consider infusing it in the udder as well. My hope is that I don't ever need to try something like that, but it is good to know that the option is there. - T.L.

2. I purchased Staff Comfort to treat folliculitis (infection of the hair follicules) on my legs. I'm not sure if it is viral or bacterial in this case but it has been a long term issue. It worked great. It is very strong smelling, so I wouldn't use it and go in public. It also works amazingly on pressurized acne I sometimes get my back. I haven't used it on my face. - Jenny

3. Staff Comfort is the only thing that we can count on to help my aged, bedridden mother with bedsores. I'm so pleased with this blend! - Ray

4. An allergist said the rash I had was psoriasis, not eczema. I cleared it up with Staff Comfort spray. It took 9 months to a year, but I am totally clear. I used the spray twice a day, and as it cleared up, once a day. I use it now a couple times per week as maintenance. - Rachel

4. I've been using Staff Comfort to get my period back on schedule. I know it's the geranium in it that is helping. I spray this all over my legs each day as it is also helping with my psoriasis. - Rachel

Safety
Medication Contraindicated Orally: Antidepressants/CYP2B6 substrates, Diabetes
Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat—like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Flushing with water will only send the essential oil back to the eye's membranes. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. We’ve not known this to cause permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your health care provider.
