Melaleuca alternifolia

Tea Tree essential oil is obtained from the leaves of Melaleuca, a plant known by the name of Tea Tree (Precisely Tea Tree) but which has nothing to do with the tea plant with whose leaves the note is prepared beverage. The curious name of "tea tree" (Tea Tree) was attributed to it by the discoverer of Australia James Cook who learned to prepare, imitating local customs, a refreshing infusion with the leaves of this tree with curative and antiseptic properties. The region of origin is Australia and, although there are over 300 varieties of this plant, the oil is obtained only from one of these, the Melaleuca Alternifolia. Its leaves are narrow and soft, and light green in color, while the flowers have a color tone ranging from cream to yellow. From the distillation of the leaves, an oil with multiple properties is obtained, used as a natural remedy for many ailments, especially due to infections. It is also excellent for cosmetics, thanks to its healing properties for skin and hair. Tea tree oil has antibacterial, healing, antifungal and antiodorant properties, which make it one of the most miraculous substances that nature is able to offer us. For its use it is necessary to follow some precautions because usually a few drops are sufficient. It is always recommended to dilute a small amount in your favorite vegetable oil, in order to prevent its powerful action from irritating the epidermis, especially if it is already sensitive. Tea tree oil is also one of the best natural remedies against pimples, thanks to its antimicrobial and antiseptic properties that allow you to kill the bacterial population nestled inside the pores. It penetrates deeply, balancing the production of sebum and promoting the disinfection of the hair follicles. It also helps eliminate dead skin cells, thus preventing them from clogging the pores. Finally, it is also effective for reducing inflammation of the scalp and can be used against lice infestations, to combat dandruff and rebalance sebum regulation.
