Melaleuca alternifolia

Perhaps the most familiar essential oil in Australia; tea-tree has been an unfailing staple in first aid and cleansing. Its healing virtues are well-known and documented. Broad spectrum for skin-care and protection. Builds resilience – for overall well-being. Diffuse to ward off lurgies. This essential oil is grown and processed in Australia. Where a tea-tree is called for in a blend but a less medicinal scent is sought, combine it with Lemon Tea-Tree.
