Top 10 Uses of Tea Tree Essential Oil for Hair, Skin, Home & Health

Australian tea tree essential oil, also known as melaleuca oil, is a versatile and potent oil that has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. Derived from the tree's leaves, the purity of the oil depends largely on where and how the trees are grown - organic, wild-harvested, sans pesticides, insecticides and at peak season to capture the most nutrients.

Haircare

Tea tree oil can be a game-changer in your haircare routine. Here are three ways to use it:

To use, add a few drops of tea tree oil to your shampoo or conditioner. Massage into your scalp and hair and rinse thoroughly.

Tea tree oil can help regulate sebum on the scalp, making it an effective treatment for oily hair. Add a few drops to your shampoo and massage into your scalp and hair. Rinse thoroughly.
