Tea Tree – Melaleuca alternifolia

September 16, 2009 By Dr Malte Hozzel

Tea Tree – Melaleuca alternifolia

The leaves from this low-growing tree from the wetlands of Eastern Australia have been part of aborigine’s folk medicine since time immemorial. The essential oil that started to be distilled only in the 1920s has since then become one of the most investigated and best documented essential oils worldwide.

Tea Tree is an incredibly versatile natural antibiotic with powerful antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties. Strengthening the immune response in the body it contributes strongly to neutralize harmful pathogens without side effects and builds up a resistance of lasting strength. Tea Tree is not only used against problems including gum and throat infections, mouth ulcers, dental abcesses, fever, cold, flu, sinusitis, otitis, bronchitis, cystitis, vaginitis, candida albicans, bacterial or viral colic, etc, but also as an anti-inflammatory, cardiotonic and toner of the nervous system.

It enhances capillary circulation for better hair growth and helps against burns, blisters, insect bites, herpes, and infected wounds. Its miraculously positive and un-mediated energy strengthens heat and mind and stands for ‘defence’ as such assisting the human kind in fighting disease at the forefront of the neuro-psycho-immunological battle. A shield of invincibility for the warrior of modern times.
