These active ingredients have been scientifically proven to be effective against fungal and bacterial infections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), has been used in Australia for over 100 years, the primary use being for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Reviewed science has shown it that it also has anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties. In particular, it is very effective in combating the bug called Dermatophilus – that is the cause of what we call Mud Fever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc Oxide is also a proven and very effective tool used extensively for wound healing due to its antibacterial properties and that it has significan\u003cimg\u003et epithelialisation properties to advance healing. Epithelisation is the essential process of cells migrating upward to repair and close the area of the wound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScientific tests have shown that topical zinc oxide can increase the rate of wound healing, increase resistant to infection and decrease rates of deterioration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother important aspect to wound healing is to keep a wound moist. Premature drying will slow down healing as it blocks the white blood cells from working. The Aqueous base of Equifix-TTO is ideal to keep moisture on the wound and light enough not to block the healing process. (Using a thick cream with a petroleum or paraffin base will slow healing and confuse the process as the body will see it as something to remove).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Tea Tree Oil in its pure form, as oil, is not suitable for use on animals because if ingested it may be toxic. However, as a percentage in an aqueous base is suitable and safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: during wound healing, it is important to resolve inflammation and initiate re-epithelization, repel infection and retain a moist environment. Equifix-TTO provides the active ingredients to promote safe and efficient healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Science:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMelaleuca alternifolia ( Tea Tree) Oil : A review of Antimicrobial and other Medicinal Properties – C.F.
