Description

Discover the "First Aid Kit in a Bottle."

Our pure Tea Tree Essential Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) is one of the most powerful and versatile oils in the world, renowned for its potent antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties.

With its sharp, fresh, and medicinal aroma, this is not a "perfume" oil; this is a potent natural workhorse. It is a non-negotiable staple for every home's natural wellness and skincare cabinet.

Key Benefits & Uses:

The #1 Oil for Blemishes & Acne: This is its most famous use. Its powerful antibacterial and purifying properties make it the "go-to" spot treatment for acne and blemishes. It helps to cleanse pores and calm the redness and inflammation associated with breakouts.

Scalp & Dandruff Saviour: Its potent anti-fungal and cleansing properties are a 'miracle' for scalp health. It is world-famous for its ability to clear a flaky, itchy scalp (dandruff) and balance an oily scalp (seborrhea).

Natural First Aid: This is the ultimate oil for cleansing. Its antiseptic nature makes it perfect for:

Cleansing and soothing minor cuts, scrapes, and grazes.

Calming itchy insect bites and stings.

Combating fungal issues (like athlete's foot).

DIY Purifying Cleaner: Add to a spray bottle with water and vinegar for a powerful, all-natural surface and bathroom cleaner.

Important Cautions:

Tea Tree is a very potent oil. Always dilute with a carrier oil (like Jojoba) before applying to larger areas of skin.

Always perform a patch test.

MELALEUCA ALTERNIFOLIA
Tea tree Essential oil is another Must have in any households.

The Aboriginal Australians have used tea trees as a traditional source of wellbeing in a multitude of ways. They applied the leaves on wounds and used leaves to purify water. They brewed an infusion (Tea) of the fresh leaves, to drink and soothe sore throats, as well as to make topical compresses to calm insect bites and stings. Populations inhaled the oil from the crushed leaves to ease coughs and colds. During WWII, the Australian government included a bottle of tea tree essential oil in first-aid kits issued to the army. 

Today the wonderful all-round properties of Tea tree are recognized scientifically and used the world over.
