tea tree essential oil

40
Melaleuca alternifolia

Tea Tree is a small tree (closer to a shrub than a tree) with needle-shaped leaves and heads of yellow or purplish flowers. Tea Tree is native to Australia, and although other varieties have been cultivated elsewhere, Melaleuca alternifolia is cultivated exclusively in Australia, primarily in New South Wales. Tea Tree was used extensively by the Aboriginal peoples of Australia in teas (hence, the name) and has been tested more recently to reveal that it can be used effectively in combating all three major varieties of infectious organisms: bacteria, fungi, and virus. This is due to its properties as an immunostimulant, in that it effectively boosts immune system response to infectious disease like colds, ‘flu, and others.
