Word from Anny Schneider

Many plants are wrongly called "tea tree", this essential oil comes from the true tea tree (the alternate-leaved tea tree) and is one of the most used on the planet for its anti-fungal and bactericidal, even antiviral, properties. It is used repeatedly for at least one month in a row diluted in 90% vegetable oil on areas of lesions due to fungi, or as a local antiseptic, on minor wounds of any kind. Origin of this essential oil This organic Tea tree essential oil from Australia is distilled from the leaves of the plant.
