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.

We examined how a special aromatic oil blend, including tea tree oil, can affect fungal growth on feet. A 63-year-old female subject wore enclosed shoes and socks for 48 hours while we monitored her foot's microbial counts.
After applying the oil compound, we were excited to see that it completely stopped the growth of bacteria and yeast-fungi for 8 hours! However, we must note that this case study only involved one person. More extensive research is needed to determine if this treatment is effective for larger groups.

Effective for cats
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.

Natural ringworm remedy

Tea tree has a bactericidal effect and works against ringworm, so I apply it to my toenails. Though oral treatments for tinea nail fungus exist, I preferred a natural approach. After trying various methods, frequently filing the nails and applying tea tree seems most effective. It smells pleasant and I hope to heal gradually.
