Tea Tree Essential Oil Tea tree essential oil is well known for being a decongestant, supporting respiratory ailments, as well as having antibacterial and disinfectant properties. A popular ingredient in personal care products – including haircare and skincare – the essential oil comes from steaming Australian tea tree leaves. With anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, tea tree is used to address many personal ailments including oily hair, dry scalp, itchy skin, acne, fungal infections and more. As well as addressing the problems with tea tree, the strong aroma lingers for a feeling of cleanliness. Tea tree is also a popular addition to home cleaning products, further expanding the association between the tea tree aroma and a feeling of cleanliness. For respiratory conditions, tea tree can either be used topically, applied to the chest, or inhaled through a steam bath. Popular decongestant products have leveraged the beneficial properties of tea tree and it has become one of the most mainstream essential oils on the market.
