Can herbal remedies such as tea tree oil help with fungal infections?
Many people who try herbal medicines such as tea tree oil to help treat fungal infections find that they help. However, there haven’t been enough well-conducted clinical trials to say for certain whether there is a significant benefit to using these products. Tea tree oil has been investigated the most and may hold some promise, but further research needs to be done before scientists can make a proper assessment. You could try herbal remedies if you wish to see if you get any benefit, but don’t delay seeking help from your pharmacist or GP.
