STEP 2 – MELALEUCA BASICS

broken image

From spring cleaning to cosmetic care, MELALEUCA (Melaleuca alternifolia) is one of the most versatile Essential Oils.

Hailing from Australia, the Melaleuca plant was a daily necessity for the early natives. The Aborigines would crush the leaves and inhale the scent of the oil to promote feelings of clear breathing or apply the leaves directly to the skin for a cooling effect.

As time progressed, the knowledge of Melaleuca’s numerous benefits spread worldwide.

Also known as Tea Tree Oil, MELALEUCA is renowned for its cleansing and rejuvenating effect on the skin. Few people know, however, that it also promotes healthy immune function* and protects against environmental and seasonal threats.

MELALEUCA Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaf of the plant and has a leathery and herbaceous aroma.

MELALEUCA Essential Oil can be used aromatically, topically, and internally. When paired with other oils, MELALEUCA can enhance the other oils’ benefits as well as create balance and synergy among Essential Oils in a blend. MELALEUCA blends well with many Essential Oils—Cypress, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Rosemary, Thyme, and Citrus Oils, to name a few.
