About: The indigenous people of Australia have known about the healing properties of tea tree for thousands of years. The leaves were often soaked to apply poultices to wounds or were inhaled for respiratory infections. Tea tree has shown to be effective in treating athlete’s foot and other fungus and yeast infections. It is found in many products that treat acne. During World War II, Australian soldiers carried tea tree oil in their first aid kits.
