HISTORY:
Tea Tree has been around for thousands of years and its healing quality was well known to the aborigines. They would crush the leaves, place them onto wounds then cover the leaves with warm mud, inhale the oil to relieve colds and headaches. The name tea tree was first used by Captain Cook in 1777, when the leaves of the melaleuca were brewed to make a tea to prevent scurvy. Tea tree is known as the natural 'Dettol' as it has similar uses. Tea tree oil was considered “first aid” during World War II in the Australian armed forces kits.
