Description

 

Tea tree has a long history as anย herbal medicine. Freshly crushed leaves were appliedย directly to the injury and held in place by a mud pack.ย This poultice combated infection and overcame theย potential of further infection from the mud pack. Theย effects of the folk medicine spread among Europeans asย they settled in Australia. Eventually the scientificย community began to research and document the effects ofย the plantโ€”more particularly the bactericidal andย germicidal properties of the oil.

Tea Tree comes from Australia and New Zealand trees and scrubs. It is related to eucalyptus. The aroma is similar to eucalyptus but softer. Tea tree is non-toxic. There are over 100 species of tea tree and three species are distilled for their essential oils. Melaleuca alternifoliaย produces tea tree oil; Melaleuca cajeputi produces cajeput essential oil; Melaleuca viridiflor produces niaoli essential oil. Tea treeโ€™sย medicinal effectiveness is the result of two chemical constituents found in the oilโ€”cineole and terpinen. Both constituents are bactericidal andย germicidal. Cineole can be a skin irritant. The ratio of cineole andย terpinen can vary greatly in many species of tea tree. Australia developedย aย standard for a minimum terpinen content of 30 percent and a maximum cineoleย content of 15 percent. The terpinen in tea tree oil can soothe cuts,ย scratches, sunburn and cold sores. Tea tree can help alleviate overly oily skin. By massaging a few drops into the scalp will help lift greasy deposits from the hair shaft before shampooing.
