Tea Tree

Tea Tree has been used for centuries by the native Australian people in traditional medicinal practices.  The essential oil has grown in popularity and is now widely used in hair care, oral hygiene, acne and anti-fungal products. Tea tree has a medicinal, fresh aroma, and can be used to promote a noticeable change in air quality.  Historically, tea tree was appreciated for its cleansing properties and was used to clean homes, especially bathrooms, kitchens and rooms of the sick.  The essential oil offers support for the immune system and can help soothe minor skin blemishes.
