tea tree oil is an essential oil made from the Mellaleuca tree native to Australia. Essential oils (and other plant-based "antibiotics") don't work on specific bacteria, but have a more general action. Tea tree is not only an anti-bacterial but also anti-viral and anti-fungal. Generally, essential oils are not to be used internally, and should be diluted in a carrier oil for topical use.
