Tea Tree Essential Oil Origin and Extraction

Tea Tree Essential Oil is extracted from the twigs and leaves of the tea tree, using the process of steam distillation. The tea tree (botanical name Melaleuca Alternifolia) is native to Australia but has spread to various other parts of the word. This oil should not be confused with Tea Oil, which is derived from the tea plant.

Essential Oils are natural, contracted oils that have the fragrance of the plant from which they originated. Most typically, the oils are extracted from the plant through distillation. In many cases, the distillation process involves the use of steam.  As steam passes through the plant’s stems, seeds, flowers or leaves, it assists in vaporizing the volatile compounds.

While essential oils have various uses, they have a long documented history of medicinal value. Essential Oils can support overall health, act as a treatment or remedy for various medical or psychological conditions or help prevent infections and illness.

Essential Oils should not be used on animals as they can have adverse effects.
