Tea Tree Oil

The Tea Tree Oil is extracted from Melaleuca alternifolia of the Myrtaceae family. This oil is one of the most used essential oils and popular for its wonderful healing properties. Extracted from the leaves and twigs by the process of steam distillation, it has a light, spicy and rather pungent smell. It is considered as mood elevator and hence helps combat fatigue as well as depression. Tea tree oil can help eliminate dry, dead skin cells that layer on top of the skin. As an antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, tea tree essential oil helps to alleviate itching and control redness.
