Description
Tea tree essential oil emerges an earthy, fresh, woody medium aromatic aroma. It is extracted by steam distillation from the branches and leaves of the tree under the official name Melaleuca Alternifolia, which grows in the southeastern region of Australia (it should not be confused with the plant producing the well -known beverage).
It is said that when Mother Nature creates diseases, he also creates treatment. The presence of bacteria, germs, viruses and fungi is increased in tropical areas. It also seems that most of the plants with medicinal effect are found in these areas of the globe. Tea tree is such a plant. Its therapeutic value has been known for thousands of years to native residents of this continent who faced the horrible bacterial infections of the tropical areas. Its ingredients (Savinene, Mykhenio, Terpene, Kineol, Terpene, Cummio, Terpylene, Lanalolis, Terpinenol, etc.) have made it worldwide today, as scientific research has now proven its effectiveness in the treatment of various diseases.
The tea tree can cure external infections from skin wounds, as well as inner bacterial infections such as those of the colon, stomach, intestines, excretion and urinary tract. It is known that viral infections (viruses) are not treated with the use of antibiotics. This is because viruses develop around them a protective shell called a bladder, which enables them to survive even after the action of the drug. Tea tree essential oil causes this bladder to break, thus cure diseases such as common cold, flu, mumps, measles, smallpox and more. In addition, it is an excellent antiseptic in wound healing. It is equally effective against fungi as it inhibits the growth of fungi.
Tea tree essential oil has relaxing properties that generally enhance health. It helps to absorb nutrients from foods and provides protection from infectious diseases. In addition to infections, another cause of morbidity is toxins. The body eliminates toxins with sweating. Tea tree essential oil increases sweating and promotes the removal of salts and toxins, such as uric acid, while at the same time cleaning skin pores and limiting the appearance of dermatological problems, such as acne and more. It is recommended to treat dermatitis and the fight against dry skin that causes dandruff.
