100% Pure & Natural
Description:
Tea tree essential oil is quite powerful and has a myriad of uses and health benefits. It has a fresh, spicy, and camphoraceous scent similar to that of eucalyptus essential oil. It has been in use for decades as a disinfecting agent in dental and surgical procedures until the oil eventually became useful outside operating rooms as well. It has since established a reputation for being versatile and a jack-of-all-trades. Nearly all essential oils are suitable for aromatherapy, including tea tree. However, tea tree essential oil can help you improve your health as well as the health of your skin and hair.
Odour:
Warm, woody, spicy-earthy odour.
Product Colour/Appearance:
Colorless to pale yellow clear liquid
Extraction Method:
Tea tree oil is extracted from the leaves of the tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) through steam distillation. This is the most common way to extract aromatic essences from the leaves or flowers of many essential oil-producing plants. It entails the use of light pressure as well as high-temperature steam, both of which draw the oils out.
Uses:
Tea tree oil is very important in the health of the immune system, as it acts as a immunostimulant and increases the body's ability to fight off any infections, while it also is used to revive the mind and body after shock.
DIY (do it yourself):
1. Mix a few drops of tea tree oil into a moisturizer or carrier oil and apply it to your skin a few times per day.
2. Apply a mixture of tea tree oil and carrier oil to your hair and scalp.
3. Using a cotton swab, dab a single drop of tea tree oil, which is an antiseptic, directly on the sore. Avoid areas near your eyes and mouth.
