Tea Tree Essential Oil, extracted from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant through steam distillation, is renowned for its potent antiseptic and healing properties. Native to Australia, the tea tree has been utilised for centuries by the indigenous Bundjalung people, who crushed the leaves to extract the oil for treating coughs, colds, and skin infections. The oil gained widespread recognition in the early 20th century when Australian chemist Arthur Penfold published research confirming its antimicrobial efficacy.

Tea Tree Essential Oil is characterised by its fresh, medicinal scent and its high content of terpinen-4-ol, which is primarily responsible for its antimicrobial activity. It is widely used in skincare for its ability to treat acne, eczema, and psoriasis, as well as to heal cuts, burns, and insect bites due to its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. In hair care, it is effective against dandruff and can improve scalp health. Tea Tree Oil is also a common ingredient in natural household cleaners, thanks to its ability to disinfect surfaces and eliminate mould.

In aromatherapy, it is employed to boost the immune system and alleviate respiratory issues such as congestion and coughs. Tea Tree Essential Oil remains a staple in both traditional and modern medicine, valued for its versatile therapeutic applications and its role in promoting overall health and hygiene.
