Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)

Our Certified Organic Tea Tree Oil, which is steam-distilled from the leaves and twigs of the melaleuca tree, comes from Australia, where the plant is native. As a natural antiseptic, its anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties make this a very versatile oil. Tea Tree acts as an immune booster for the body in the defense of these threats (bacteria, viruses or fungi). It is one of the few oils that can be used directly on the skin without the aid of a carrier oil. As always, less is more when it comes to Essential Oils; if you are using it directly on the skin, apply only one drop.

Great in first aid kits; can be used for bug bites, acne, boils, athlete’s foot (try when combining with Lemongrass Oil) and herpes blisters. The oil may assist in the reproduction of white blood cells, thereby making it helpful when dealing with colds, influenza, coughs and sore throats. As well, the oil has been said to combat yeast infections (try adding a couple of drops to a warm sitz bath) and candida.

Suggested Uses

Try using a couple of drops of Tea Tree Oil in the water that is used to clean pet food dishes, carriers, litter boxes, cages and bedding.

Try adding 3-5 drops to a foot soak to soothe aching feet and to add to your treatment of Athlete’s Foot.

Keep a bottle in your camping first aid kit and use one drop on cuts, scrapes, abrasions and bug bites.

A couple of drops in a diaper pail will act as both a sanitizer and deodorizer.

One drop in the palm of your hands, rub hands together, cup palms together…inhale deeply; or 2-3 drops in a bath. Great for boosting your immune system.
