What is Tea Tree Oil?

Tea tree oil is derived from the tea tree, or melaleuca alternifolia, a plant that is native to Australia. The tree is often abundant with oil producing glands, which makes the extraction of the essential oil relatively easy. 

Historically, tea tree oil has predominantly been used topically for specific medicinal attributes. It should also be noted that tea tree oil is generally not fit for consumption as it is toxic in its concentrated form.
