BOTANICAL NAME :Melaleuca alternifolia

ORIGIN OF TEA TREE OIL

It is a small tree from New South Wales in Australia, similar to Cypress, with needle-like leaves and heads of sessile yellow or purplish flowers and grows to about 7 meters (20 feet) high and thrives in marshy areas, though it is now cultivated in plantations. Even when this tree is cut down, it flourishes and is ready for cutting again in two years. The oil is only produced in Australia where the Aborigines used it for a long time for a variety of medicinal purposes. In World War II, the producers and the cutters were exempt from military service until enough essential oil had been accumulated. Each soldier and sailor was issued with some as part of their kit, to treat tropical infections and infected wounds. Tea tree oil is an ingredient of soaps, creams, lotions, deodorants, disinfectants and air fresheners.

EXTRACTION

It is extracted from the leaves and twigs by steam distillation and the yield is about 1.8%.
