Benefits & Uses of Tea Tree Oil

Without a doubt, Isagenix Tea Tree Essential Oil deserves the spotlight today.

Not only has this essential oil been around for centuries, but the more it is used and studied, the more we discover additional beneficial ways to use Tea Tree essential oil.

Does this sound like we are bragging? Well, maybe just a little, but there really are so many ways that Isagenix Tea Tree Essential Oil can help with your daily routines, beauty care, overall wellness, and household cleanliness. While being very effective on its own in either a pure or diluted form, some application methods of Isagenix Tea Tree Essential Oil include the addition of other Isagenix Single Essential Oils for the best results. When appropriate, these additional oils will be noted in the methods described below.

As we look at how you can use this popular essential oil, there are a few cautionary notes:

1. Remember to do a skin sensitivity test before your first use of all pure essential oils
2. Tea Tree essential oil is not intended for internal use and is used for certain oral health concerns, but it is never to be swallowed
3. Always consult your personal physician before adding any essential oils to your daily routine if you are pregnant or nursing or taking medications for a health issue.

Tea Tree Essential Oil, alternately called Melaleuca, is cultivated by steam distillation from the leaves and twigs of the Australian Melaleuca Alternifolia plant. The extracted oil has a refreshing, camphor scent and ranges in colour from a clear to a light golden liquid.

Keeping the oil in a dark glass bottle helps to retain the strength and effectiveness of the oil.
