Tea Tree Oil Description

Tea tree is similar in composition and properties to the other major Australian oils, eucalyptus and cajeput. It contains less cineole which makes it less of a skin irritant. The aroma is warm and spicy, clear and fresh. Tea tree oil blends well with lavender, rosemary and spicy oils.

Tea tree oil is a must for any home herbal first aid kit. Tea tree is an antiviral, anti-fungus, and antibacterial agent, and is effective for a wide variety of germs and bacteria. Take tea tree oil along on trips to disinfect and clean hotel surfaces, phones, bathrooms, and keep a few drops in the hand soap dispenser. Diffusing tea tree in the air lifts the spirits, while it helps prevent and treat respiratory infections. Tee tree can sometimes be used full strength to treat nasty skin and fungus infections like athletes foot. We buy tea tree oil in large, economy sizes because it gets used for something in my home nearly every day.

Small tree; small soft, narrow leaves, and cream colored bottlebrush flowers. Native to the New South Wales area of Australia.
