Possessing an intense, medicinal aroma, tea tree can be used
by the drop directly on the skin to cleanse and purify.
The leaf of the tea, or ti, tree had a long history of use by the indigenous
peoples of Australia before tea tree was "discovered"
by the crew of the famous English explorer James Cook. The aroma of the oil
is warm, spicy, medicinal and volatile. It is occasionally used to scent spicy
colognes and aftershaves. It blends well with lavandin, rosemary and nutmeg
oils. Aromatherapy benefits: cleansing, purifying, uplifting.
