Tea Tree (Essential Oil)

Avg. Rating

2 product reviews

A very powerful natural antiseptic and anti-fungal oil which is widely used by aromatherapists.

This colourless to slightly pale yellow oil originates from Australia and New Zealand trees and shrubs. Although it was used as a medical property it is now used widely in alternative medicine. Its underlying warm nutmeg scent is more noted for its physical effect rather than mental effects. It can help fortify the body after post-operative shock, and helps to clear many skin conditions.
