Description: The Tea Tree is a
small tree or shrub with needle-like leaves. It is also domestically

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 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 massage
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
