Product Description
Tea tree oil is commonly known as Melaleuca and is very famous because of its powerful antiseptic properties and the ability to treat infections and wounds. Therefore, it is considered to be one of the best antibacterial essential oils. Tea tree oil is derived from the leaves of Tea tree (melaleuca alternifolia) through the steam distillation process. This tree belongs to the Myrtaceae family and consists of around 230 plant species, almost all of which are native to Australia.
Tea Tree was first named and described by Captain Cook in 1770. Originally it was brewed as tea because of its medicinal benefits by indigenous tribes. In Australia, this oil has been widely used for over centuries to prevent and treat various skin related issues. Native Australians extracted the oil from the leaves and inhaled it to treat cold and cough and applied on the affected area of the skin to heal.
Blomera™ sources it’s tea tree essential oil directly from the plant’s native region in coastal areas of Australia, Queensland, and South Wales. This is 100% pure and ethically sourced antibacterial extract that is traceable from tea tree plant to bottle, due to the close, solid partnership with our supplier.
