Ancient Wisdom Tea Tree Essential Oil - 10ml Bottle

The Tea Tree's name derives from when the Australian Aboriginals used to prepare herbal tea from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia tree. Tea Tree essential oil is a concentrated liquid compound steam distilled from the leaves of this tree, which is native to the northeast coast of New South Wales, Australia. The oil is claimed to have valuable antiseptic and anti-fungal properties due to constituents called terpenoids and is used in many personal care products and medicines today.

Tea tree oil is said to be good for relieving colds, coughs and flu, and is perfect for preparing inhalations with water. It is also a component of many products used to treat acne, fungal infections, dandruff or haemorrhoids.

It is anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antiviral, bactericidal, balsamic, diaphoretic, expectorant, fungicidal, immuno-stimulant, parasiticide, and vulnerary.
