Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) Essential Oil — 10 ml

Introduction
Tea Tree essential oil is one of the world’s most renowned natural remedies, known for its fresh, medicinal, and purifying scent. Originally native to Australia, it has become a global staple in natural wellness and skincare — and a familiar note in Thai spas and healing practices. At Herbsmetics, we feature Tea Tree oil in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket, where guests learn how to balance its bold aroma in perfumes and use it for holistic well-being.

Aroma Profile

• Top Notes: Sharp, fresh, and medicinal with herbal brightness.
• Heart Notes: Woody, earthy, and slightly spicy.
• Base Nuance: Clean, dry, with a lingering herbal depth.

Its instantly recognizable aroma is crisp, clean, and invigorating, making it a natural favorite for purifying blends.

Origins & Cultural Heritage
Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) is native to Australia but embraced globally:

• Aboriginal Heritage: Traditionally used as a healing plant for wounds, coughs, and skin infections.
• Modern Natural Medicine: Widely known as a natural antiseptic and immune support oil.
• Thai Wellness Integration: Common in Thai spas and skincare for acne, oily skin, and purification.
• Symbol of resilience, protection, and healing in natural aromatherapy.

Production & Extraction
Tea Tree essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the fresh leaves and twigs.

• Method: Steam gently extracts compounds such as terpinen-4-ol, cineole, and terpinene, which are responsible for its antimicrobial power.
• Quality: Pure, undiluted, and therapeutic grade.
• Distinctiveness: Strong, sharp, and cleansing — often blended to balance its intensity.

Benefits & Unique Advantages

• Antimicrobial Power: Fights bacteria, fungi, and viruses naturally.
• Skin Health: Supports acne-prone and oily skin, reducing breakouts.

• Immune Support: Strengthens overall resilience during seasonal changes.
• Perfumery Role: Adds a sharp, green-fresh note for balancing herbal and citrus blends.
