The essential oil from tea tree comes from the plant Melaleuca alternifolia, known as tea tree in English. It is an essential oil with multiple beneficial properties and is widely used in natural medicine and cosmetics. Its properties include:

• Antimicrobial properties: Used for treating microbial skin infections, such as acne and athlete's foot symptoms.
• Soothing properties: Can help soothe irritated skin and inflammation.
• Cleansing properties: Used in aromatherapy blends for air detoxification or for cleaning purposes at home.
• Anti-inflammatory properties: Can be used to reduce inflammation on the skin and scalp.

Aromatherapy is the most common way to use it, and it can be done through an oil burner or handmade candles that contain drops of the oils. It is essential to blend the essential oil with another neutral oil to balance its density.
