AWO’s pure, quintessentially Australian-smelling Tea Tree Essential Oil has a fresh, earthy and herbaceous aroma, traditionally associated with medicinal use. Prized for its analgesic, antifungal, antibacterial, decongestant, healing, diaphoretic, stimulant and deodorant properties.
Tea Tree Essential Oil is commonly used in personal care products such as lotions, creams, gels, washes, shampoos and various cosmetic products to help heal wounds and ease inflammation.
It can also help to reduce symptoms of acne, burns, sunburn, insect bites, blisters, eczema, chickenpox, coldsores and athlete’s foot, just for starters, and is also great for dandruff, head lice, foot odour and oily skin. Tea Tree Essential Oil is also known to boost respiratory function – helpful with sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis or whooping cough.
Try adding 15–20 drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil to a full spray bottle of water to create an all purpose, naturally disinfecting cleaner, mould killer, laundry freshener and insect repellent.
