For centuries, the medicinal properties of the tea tree have been celebrated in eastern Australia. Indigenous Australians have utilised crushed leaves to heal cuts, burns, and infections for hundreds of years. They inhaled the oils from crushed leaves to alleviate coughs and colds, sprinkled the oil on wounds, and applied poultices for relief. Infusions made from the leaves were traditionally used to soothe sore throats. The discovery of this essential oil’s antimicrobial properties gained recognition in Europe between 1920 and 1930, further solidifying its place in natural wellness.
