Tea Tree essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant, which is native to China and Australia. It has a medium strength, fresh and woody scent with medicinal undertones. Tea Tree oil is known for its anti-fungal properties, making it useful for treating dry skin and scalp conditions. It can also be used as a sedative and conditioner. When blending, it works well with other herbs and citrus oils. While it can be used undiluted, it is recommended to do a patch test before use and avoid using on sensitive skin or near varicose veins. It is important to always transfer essential oils into glass for long-term storage.
