Tea Tree Oil
The aboriginal people of Australia have long used tea tree in
medicine for coughs, colds, pains, sores and burns. It was not known
to the rest of the world until the 1700's when European explorers
discovered its use by the aborigines. In the early 1920's, scientist
discovered its remarkable antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral
properties. By WWII, Tee tree oil was a standard component of each
solders kit in order to treat tropical infections and infected wounds.
