Tea tree oil is a traditional Aboriginal remedy. The indigenous Australians have used oil extracted from the tree’s needles for thousands of years.  Today, the antiseptic properties of tea tree are well established. Topical tea tree oil preparations have been effective for the treatment of moderate acne, bug bites, boils and minor wounds. A known anti-fungal agent, shampoo with 5% tea tree oil has been shown to be an effective treatment for dandruff and a lice repellent. This organic tea tree oil is directly from Australia, the highest quality from a family farm.
