Weekly Essential Oil~ Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)

Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the tea tree.  It is a shrubby tree that is native to Australia and South Africa.  Its aroma is herbal and medicinal.  Tea Tree is an excellent antimicrobial and anti-fungal essential oil.  It's perfect for diffusing to cleanse the air as well as for blending into natural cleaners for kitchens and bathrooms.  Tea tree pairs well with Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil to help treat small cuts and scrapes on the skin.
