The Tea Tree is a small tree or shrub with needle-like
leaves. It is also domestically referred to as Ti-tree. It can grow up
to 7 meters (20 feet) in height and thrives in marshy areas, though it
is now cultivated in plantations. The Tea Tree is very robust; it is
ready for cutting only two years after its previous harvest.
The aboriginal people of Australia have long used Tea tree oil;
similarly, Tea tree has a long history of use within the field of
aromatherapy. In World War Two, the producers and the cutters of Tea
Tree were exempt from military service until enough essential oil had
been accumulated. The oil was a highly valued product as it was issued
to each soldier and sailor as part of their kit in order to treat
tropical infections and infected wounds.
Cautions: Tea Tree essential oil may cause dermal sensitization in some
people. Do not take internally.
