Why use Tea Tree Products?
Essential oil of Tea Tree is a totally natural product derived from the
leaves of the Melaleuca Altemifolia bush which grows in a small area of
New South Wales, Austrailia.
Its numerous remarkable qualities were recognised by the Aborigines, but
it was Captain Cook's sailors who named it "Tea Tree" when they
used the leaves as a substitute for tea, finding them "spicy and refreshing" and
effective for the treatment of Scurvy.
In the 1920's scientists confirmed that it was 13 times stronger as a germicide
than carbolic acid but did no damage to healthy skin tissue.
The oil has proven anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial qualities,
as well as low toxicity. It is nature's strongest antiseptic and these
properties make it ideal for use in a multitude of medicinal and cosmetic
products.
Tea Tree Oil's healing qualities are well documented (see, for example
the Northern
Rivers Tea Tree Group Website or Susan Drury's excellent book "Tea
Tree Oil: a medicine kit in a bottle") and have proved effective
for the treatment of:
* Spots and acne
* Dandruff and scalp infections
* Insect bites
* Nail and skin infections
* Bacterial vaginosis
* Eczema and Psoriasis
* Head lice
* Wound cleansing
* Cold sores and mouth ulcers
* Boils

Why Tea Tree Natural Products?
Over the years we have worked closely with chiropodists, podiatrists and
professional therapists to develop a range of foot care and body care products,
which are simple to use, effective, economic and protective.
We use only the finest distillation grade of leaves in our products and
combine them with other carefully selected natural ingredients for maximum
efficacy, depending on usage. For example:
