Tea Tree Oil is the common name given to the oil of Melaleuca Alternifolia, an Australian native plant. The tea tree is a paperbark tree, native to Australia, with small narrow leaves arranged on fine branchlets. The oil is found in the leaves. Flowering occurs during spring with fluffy white flowers arranged in clusters. Tea Tree Oil is 11 to 13 times more powerful than Carbolic acid (Phenol) for killing bacteria and fungi, yet non-caustic to the skin. Many articles have been written, proving the efficacy of Tea Tree Oil as an antiseptic and fungicide.
