Tea Tree Oil shows promise
Antifungal activity of tea tree oil from Melaleuca alternifolia against Trichophyton equinum: an in vivo assay.
We examined the antifungal effects of tea tree oil on horses affected by ringworm caused by Trichophyton equinum. In a random trial involving 60 thoroughbred horses, we administered a mixture of 25% tea tree oil in sweet almond oil to one group while the other received a standard treatment with enilconazole.
After 30 days, all horses treated showed clinical recovery, while some in the control group also improved. This suggests that tea tree oil may be a viable alternative in treating equine ringworm, appealing to those interested in herbal remedies.

I used this oil for ringworm I picked up, possibly from my cats or the public pool. After one month of a few drops diluted in coconut oil, all rings are gone! An amazing product, I love tea tree oil.

Effective against ringworm
Most Useful Review
The ingredients of this brand are of high quality. The key factor is that the dosage is meant for kittens and must be administered for several days. A significant advantage is that they do not develop ringworm, thus negating the need for additional medication. The capsule is sizeable, yet easy to open and can be mixed into their diet.
