Like niaouli and cajeput, tea tree belongs to the Melaleuca family. Tea tree is currently one of the most widely used essential oils, next to peppermint and true lavender. It is regarded by many people as a kind of panacea in aromatherapy, in much the same way as the lavender oils. There is, however, a difference with lavender, because this oil smells less pleasant and its effects are mostly confined to skin conditions. In particular, its purifying effect on the skin (infections, warts, etc.) is impressive. It further supports the body’s natural resistance and also has a purifying function at the level of the airways. Tea tree oil combines well with eucalyptus, rosemary and oregano.
