Common Usage

Immune & Respiratory Support

  • Air Purification: Highly effective when diffused to neutralize airborne pathogens and clear stagnant air in a home or office.

  • Seasonal Protection: Used to support the body's natural defenses during times of seasonal illness.

  • Respiratory Clearance: Helps to clear the sinuses and soothe the respiratory system when used in steam inhalation.

Skincare & First Aid

  • Blemish Control: Famous for its ability to target acne and skin "spots" without being as drying as harsh chemical treatments.

  • Skin Soothing: Used to ease the itchiness and discomfort of insect bites, minor scrapes, and skin irritations.

  • Nail Health: Frequently applied (diluted) to fingernails and toenails to keep them looking clear and healthy.

  • Scalp Care: Added to shampoo to help manage dandruff and soothe an itchy, dry scalp.

Emotional & Energetic Benefits

  • Setting Boundaries: Encourages a sense of individual strength and the ability to say "no" to draining situations.

  • Mental Fortitude: Helps to dispel feelings of victimization and promotes self-empowerment.

Natural Home Hygiene

  • Non-Toxic Cleaning: A staple ingredient in DIY surface sprays to sanitize kitchen counters, yoga mats, and bathroom tiles.

Blending note
  • A "top-to-middle" note with a medicinal, fresh, and slightly woody aroma. While it is incredibly functional, some find its scent a bit "sharp" or "clinical."
  • Blending Tea Tree with other oils not only enhances its powerful antiseptic properties but also helps "round out" the scent for a more pleasant experience

Do you know? It was named “Tea Tree” by Captain James Cook in the 1770s after he saw indigenous Australians brewing a spicy herbal tea from the leaves to prevent scurvy.

Contraindication
