More About Tea Tree Oil:

This variety of the pungent and air-like tea tree plant boasts the same wide use as powerful, medicinal organic tea tree oil. Grown on the coasts of South Africa, this pure tea tree is infused with the diversity of that enchanted landscape and has a refreshing citronella-like fragrance. It mixes well with other tea tree essential oils for reducing their unpleasant medicinal aromas.

Tea tree oil is one of the most extensively researched of all the essential oils. It has well-documented antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal actions. Pungent and air-like, the nature of this widely used oil reveals its powerful medicinal effects. Used in aboriginal Australian tribes for generations as a cure for colds, coughs and headaches, tea tree oil has also been used commercially for over 100 years. During expeditions to Botany Bay in 1770, the plant was named “Tea Tree” by Captain James Cook, after he and his crew found that the leaves of the tree made a spicy tea. The plant went on to become popular and valued as a remedy for travelers and explorers in the marshy, low-lying bush.

Tea Tree Oil in the Global Garden: Ecological, Cultural and Economic Benefits:

Floracopeia is proud to offer this unique Certified Organic Lemon Scented Tea Tree oil from South Africa. At present there are about thirty-three distilleries in the southern Africa region distilling a variety of cultivated and wild harvested aromatic plants. Floracopeia is currently working with one of the primary organizers and distributors for those distilleries, to offer common and well-established aromatic products (such as tea tree) as well as to develop new ones.

Most of the cultivated essential oils are either certified organic through international certifying agencies such as Eco-Cert, or non-certified organic, meaning that they are organically produced but have yet to receive full documentation; the remainder of the oils are ethically wild-crafted from healthy ecosystems. All these essential oil projects are linked directly to poverty alleviation programs established for the dual purpose of caretaking local environments while producing sustainable economic benefits.
