Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)
Tea Tree is a species f the paperbark tree. This tree is found on the sub-tropical coast of New South Wales and parts of Queensland, Australia where it has long had a history of use as one of nature’s most potent antiseptics.
Aboriginal tribes used poultices of the leaves on wounds and cuts and smoked leaves to clear congestion f the respiratory and nasal tract. Tea Tree oil remains to this day as one of aromatherapy’s most powerful ingredients when fighting bacteria, fungi, viruses and yeast.
