Summary

This study tested whether tea tree oil ointment helps heal second-degree burns better than standard dressings. Thirty patients with recent burns covering up to 10% of their body were treated. Researchers looked at wound appearance, infection signs, and healing progress over 10 days.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
tea tree oil ointment (10% in petroleum jelly)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a natural alternative to standard burn dressings, potentially improving healing and reducing infection.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase trial with only 30 participants. Results may not apply to larger or deeper burns, and tea tree oil can cause skin irritation in some people.
