Tea Tree Oil Information and Usage

Nature's Sunshine Tea Tree Oil is harvested from the finest quality Melaleuca alternifolia trees found anywhere. Melaleuca alternifolia is a tree indigenous to Australia and has been used for ages by the native Aborigine tribes. The reason this oil is called tea tree is because the famous explorer Captain Cook made tea from the leaves and introduced it to the European world. Although the leaves are no longer used to make tea, the name remains the same.

Tea tree oil is collected using a distillation process that allows the leaves to stay intact on the trees. This means the trees are not harvested but stay in the ground. Some trees have been giving oil for over a half century. The oil is commonly used for its astringent and antiseptic properties. Tea tree oil can be used on minor scrapes, burns, rashes and acne. It contains compounds like pinines, terpines and cymones that are beneficial to the skin. You will also find tea tree oil added to bath, body and hair care products.
