Tea tree essential oil is a ‘must have’ for your home. It is a powerful antiseptic, as well as being stimulating, astringent and purifying. Tea tree supports healthy immune function and is especially useful in a diffuser during times of illness (try combing with another essential oils to give a more pleasant aroma, e.g. pine, lemon or orange).
