The tea tree was first described by a botanist in Captain Cook’s party on his trip to Australia in 1777.

During World War II, tea tree oil was issued to soldiers as a disinfectant. It has a very distinctive smell.

The oil can be applied directly to the skin to help:

  • stimulate injury recovery

  • heal without scarring

  • fight bacterial and fungal infections

To use tea tree oil internally, add a few drops to a glass of water to fight infections.

It is helpful against bacteria that cause:

  • acne

  • strep

  • staph

  • typhoid

  • diphtheria

  • pneumonia

  • meningitis

  • gonorrhea

It definitely belongs in everyone’s herbal medicine cabinet!
