Tea Tree Essential Oil

Description

Tea tree oil comes from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, commonly known as tea tree, a tree native to Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. Although it is called the tea tree, it is completely different from the plant that produces leaves used for making black, green, or oolong tea.

It has been used as traditional medicine by the Australian Aborigines for centuries. It has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. Hence, it is used as a powerful weapon against acne. It is quite effective in getting rid of nail fungus when used alone or in combination with other natural remedies.

Not only this, but it also prevents infection in cuts and abrasions, and it is believed that it encourages healing wounds.

You can also use tea tree oil as a great all-purpose cleaner that also sanitizes surfaces.
