Essential Oil – Tea Tree

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

• Energetic Cleansing: Used to clear "heavy" or negative emotional energy from a person or a space.

• 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.

• Laundry Booster: Added to the wash cycle to freshen "musty" smelling towels or gym clothes.

• Odor Neutralizer: Effectively removes strong smells from shoes, trash cans, and pet areas.

• 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

• 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
• During World War II, tea tree oil was considered so essential for treating soldier's wounds and foot fungus that those who harvested the oil were exempt from military service to ensure a steady supply

• Never ingest (highly toxic if swallowed); must be diluted for topical use to avoid skin irritation
• Highly toxic to cats and dogs even when diffused in small spaces
