Tea Tree essential oil is also sometimes known as Melaleuca and is extracted from the leaves of the Australian Melaleuca tree. It is well known for its ability to freshen the air, soothe skin irritations and for its cleansing and purifying nature. It can be added to your natural facial cleanser, to a spray bottle with water to protect against germs on your benchtops. It is a regular ingredient in many natural cleaning products for this very reason.

It has a herbaceous smell and is perfect in your aroma diffuser either alone or mixed with citrus or eucalyptus essential oils. Tea Tree is used in many essential oil blends that you can buy ready made, including ones to help with respiratory health, and acne care.
