Are Tea Tree Oil Foot Soaks Commonly Used?
- It is not really used in the medical community.
- But ingredients within tea tree oil are proven to be anti-fungal.
- It is used more by naturopathic physicians.
- It is the chief ingredient in many of the creams being sold online *These creams are not FDA approved so they do not have any proven medical components*
- Most “Natural Remedy” topicals are unregulated, so no one really checks the % of tea tree oil in them.
Studies For Tea Tree Oil Foot Soaks:
The majority of the articles focus on treating athlete’s foot (Tinea Pedis) and other superficial skin fungus infections such as the scalp and ringworm.
- One study found 100% tea tree oil effective against nail fungus in killing toenail fungus.
- The study also compared it to a topical medical treatment (clomitrazole) in effectiveness.
- A followup study found that tea tree oil was less effective than medications at lower concentrations.
- This lower concentration still did kill some nail fungus, but less effectively.
- Since athlete’s foot fungus is more superficial, it should be more effective than for toenail fungus!
