Description: The Tea Tree is a small tree or shrub with needle-like
leaves. It is also domestically referred to as Ti-tree. It can grow up to 7
meters (20 feet) in height and thrives in marshy areas, though it is now
cultivated in plantations. The Tea Tree is very robust; it is ready for cutting
only two years after its previous harvest.
Common Uses: Tea Tree Essential Oil is a high-grade therapeutic oil,
and is best known as a very powerful immune stimulant. It can help to fight all
three categories of infectious organisms (bacteria, fungi, and viruses), and
there is evidence that Tea Tree Oil massages prior to an operation may help to
fortify the body and reduce post-operative shock. Used in vapor therapy, Tea
Tree Oil can help with colds, measles, sinusitis and viral infections. For skin
and hair, Tea Tree has been used to combat acne, oily skin, head lice and
dandruff. As essential oils have become more accepted by the public, the use of
Tea Tree has increased significantly. This can be readily evidenced by the
commercial products now using Tea Tree Essential Oil. Although, this grade of
oil is best used in therapeutic applications.
Aromatic Scent: Tee Tree Essential Oil has a fresh, antiseptic and
medicinal scent. It also has characteristic minty, woody, and camphorous notes.
