Tea tree oil may help relieve skin inflammation. Applying tea tree oil may help reduce the severity of these symptoms (National Library of Medicine Study).
In a study comparing the effects of different treatments for contact dermatitis, tea tree oil was found to reduce symptoms by 40%, which was so much more than standard medications (tea tree oil study).

Tea Tree Bath Salts Benefits
Epsom salts can increase brain and central nervous system activity and allow one to feel relaxed and happy for a few hours which is why it’s so easy to fall asleep after a bath. There are so many benefits to using tea tree oil in your bath salts for your skin. Research has proven tea tree oil as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent as it fights and damages the cell walls of all forms of bacteria.
Another benefit of soaking in the bath is that the warm water and epsom salts can relax your muscles and sitting in the bath for 20 minutes may help relax your gut and soften your stool as you absorb magnesium through your skin which may help produce a bowel movement if you are constipated.
