Tea Tree Essential Oil is one of the most popular oils in aromatherapy and traditional medicine today. It is produced from the leaves of a small tree that originally grew in low lying wetlands on Australia's east coast. The leaves had been used for unknown ages by the Australian aborigines to treat injury, illness and infection.
Tea Tree oil has a reputation for being powerful against a broad range of bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Aboriginals used to crush the leaves in their hand and inhale the oil to treat colds and headaches.TEA TREE, Melaleuca alternifolia (Plant Family: Myrtaceae)
