Features
Tea Tree, or Melaleuca alternifolia, is a species of tree in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, that grows wild in Australia in marshy areas, mainly near streams. There are many varieties of tea tree, but only one has therapeutic properties.
The tree can reach 7 m, with quite broad and dense foliage of about 10 m. Its leaves are rich in oil and the flowers appear in white or cream fuzzy inflorescences which bloom over a short period, mainly from spring to early summer. Flowers are produced by mature trees, about 2 years after planting. Its growth is favored by abundant sunlight and fertile soil.
History of Tea Tree
The plant began to be systematically cultivated in 1970 and was given the name Melaleuca linariifolia var. alternifolia from the Latin alternus, meaning “alternating”, and folium, meaning “leaf”, referring to the characteristic alternating arrangement of its leaves.
Australian botanists, since old times, considered tea tree oil an important natural antiseptic and used it to treat bites, burns, wounds and skin infections. It is said to stimulate the immune system and serve as an effective treatment against bacterial and fungal infections.
Tea tree essential oil has been used for over 100 years for therapeutic purposes, mainly through aromatherapy.
The first article on the therapeutic benefits of tea tree was published in 1930 in an Australian medical journal, describing a recipe with tea tree oil for treating sore throat.
