What is Tea Tree Oil?

Tea tree oil is an essential oil extracted from the leaves of a native Australian shrub known as Melaleuca alternifolia. It is known for its strong, minty smell and its many uses as an effective home remedy due to its proven antimicrobial and antiseptic properties (1).

It is believed that tea tree oil’s medicinal benefits are due to its natural chemical compounds — specifically eucalyptol, cineole, viridiflorol, nerolidol, and terpinen-4-o.

Most of the traditional uses for tea tree oil are associated with skin ailments, scalp conditions, and fungal infections from acne to dandruff to toenail fungus (2).

Here is an interesting bit of history: The tea tree was given its name by Captain James Cook in 1770. Shortly after landing in Botany Bay, Australia, Captain Cook discovered that the leaves from the Melaleuca alternifolia made a delicious, minty tea.
