Tea tree oil was discovered in 1770 by Captain James Cook while he was in Australia on an expedition with Sir John Banks, a botanist. He collected samples of the leaves and took them to England for further studies. The aborigines were known to chew on the leaves of the plant so yes tea tree oil can be used internally if you can stand the taste. The oil of tea tree was used as a medicinal agent to help with cuts, burns, bites, and many skin ailments. It is also a wonderful product for skin infections and external as well as internal conditions. I shave my head and face frequently and like to apply this product right after shaving to help the skin to heal. My skin is sensitive so there are not many products that I can use bur tea tree oil works wonders because it protects the skin as well as preventing the infection which often comes with shaving.
Tea tree oil is collected by extracting it from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia tree. This tree is shrub-like and found in tropical coastal regions of New South Wales and Queensland, Australia. More than three hundred different varieties of tea tree oil exist, but only a few are known to produce the medicinal oil.
Tea tree oil is one of the essential oils that I suggest every household keep on hand.
