A Glimpse into History:
For hundreds of years, Aboriginal Australians have used tea tree leaves for healing — crushing them to apply directly to wounds, burns, and sores, inhaling the vapour to relieve colds, and infusing them to soothe sore throats. In the 1920s and ’30s, tea tree oil gained recognition in Europe for its powerful antimicrobial properties and has remained a trusted natural remedy ever since.

Safety Note:
For external use only. Do not ingest. Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Always dilute before applying to skin.
