Australian Tea Tree Oil is fast becoming a natural first aid for American families. Seventy years ago, the oil from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia was discovered to contain valuable antiseptic and fungicila properties. Throughout the twentieth century, clinical data has been collected, including dental, antiseptic, hospital uses, yeast infections, chronic cystitis, foot problems, acne studies, fungus, and candida albicans to name just a few. More recently, Tea Tree Oil is being recognized worldwide for commercial uses in many products including shampoos, creams, acne treatments, suppositories, household cleaning, baby care products, massage formulas, foot balms, deodorants, bath oils, sunscreen, insect repellants, toothpaste, mouthwash, soaps and veterinary products.
