Australian Tea Tree Oil Review


 Not too long ago I discovered the benefits of using essential oils. Once I started, I realized that there is no better option for my family than to use natural products as much as possible. Essential oils are used for so many things you need in your home. From personal hygiene to household cleaning supplies, the list is endless. One of the essential oils that can be used in pretty much everything you want to make from scratch, is tea tree oil. The Australian Tea Tree Oil is unique because it's not diluted. It is 100% pure and that gives you more product for more options. 


The Apothecary Extracts, the company that sells the Australian Tea Tree Oil, has the tests to prove that their product is pure and unaltered. 
When you purchase the essence oil from Amazon you get with it a copy of the Tea Tree Oil 53 uses Guide that will help you create your own recipes, understand more about the product, and learn about the studies that were made to show how good of an oil the tea tree oil is.You can find it on sale for: $19.99.

History: Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil is a pure oil culled from the leaves of a tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) native to Australia. The aboriginal people of Australia have long used Tea tree oil. The Aborigines would bathe in medicinal pools of water where the tea tree leaves had naturally settled. In World War Two, the producers and the cutters of Tea Tree were exempt from military service until enough essential oil had been accumulated. The oil was a highly valued product as it was issued to each soldier and sailor as part of their kit in order to treat tropical infections and infected wounds. Description: The Tea Tree is a small tree or shrub with needle-like leaves. It can grow up to 7 meters (20 feet) in height and thrives in marshy areas, though it is now cultivated in plantations. The Tea Tree is very robust; it is ready for cutting only two years after its' previous harvest. 

The tea tree oil is a natural anti-bacterial/anti-fungal oil and the uses numerous. I used the tea tree oil for mosquito bites,  minor irritations of the skin, to make deodorant, and it works wonders. Here is the recipe for homemade deodorant:
