Organic Tea Tree Essential Oil, 10 ml, ALTEYA
Tea tree essential oil is extracted by steam distillation from the leaves and twigs of the Melaleuca Alternifolia plant.
This essential oil is very popular, mainly due to its wide spectrum of action, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antiseptic, antifungal, etc.
Tea tree oil can be used in household cleaning products such as soaps, air fresheners, as well as an insect repellent. It helps to remove mould and harmful bacteria from a wide range of surfaces such as shower curtains, kitchen worktops and dishwashers. Diffused in the air, it is just as effective.
Used in aromatherapy, tea tree oil can help relieve feelings of stress and fatigue. It may be useful for colds and respiratory illnesses as it is thought to act as an expectorant.
The oil is also used for skin care – it is particularly valuable for acne-prone skin due to its antiseptic and cleansing properties. It can also help balance the sebum levels in the skin and scalp.
Tea tree essential oil blends well with lavender, spearmint, chamomile, lemon, clove and cinnamon essential oils.
