Tea Tree has been known for its medicinal properties since ancient times in eastern Australia. Australian Aborigines are known to have been using the crushed leaves to heal cuts, burns, sores and infections for hundreds of years. They inhaled the oils from the crushed leaves to relieve coughs and colds. They sprinkled this oil on wounds and applied a poultice. They infused the leaves and made tea to soothe a sore throat. It was between 1920 and 1930 that the essential oil of this tree began to be known and used for its antimicrobial properties in Europe.
