Tea Tree Essential Oil

Long before Tea Tree became known around the world, the Bundjalung people of Australia recognised the remarkable qualities of the tea tree. Crushed leaves were traditionally applied to wounds and formed part of their rich knowledge of native medicinal plants. Today, Tea Tree remains one of the world's most respected botanical oils, valued for its naturally cleansing qualities and its place in everyday home and first aid care. Nature often teaches quietly. Sometimes all we have to do is pay attention to those who learned from it long before we did. Why We Love It Tea Tree is one of the true heroes of the Flourish Apothecary. We value it for the naturally cleansing qualities it brings to our home care formulations and for the important role it has long played in traditional first aid. Its inclusion in modern burn care products reflects the enduring respect this remarkable botanical has earned over generations.
