Tea Tree Oil Use
Like many medical discoveries, tea tree oil use was only looked at with interest during World War 2 when it was issued in first-aid kits to the military units in tropical regions, however it wasn’t long before demand outstripped supply and synthetic antiseptics were substituted. After the war antibiotics were popular especially with the introduction of the NHS in Britain : this is the reason that tee tree was once again put to the side until about 1970 when scientific researched discovered how effective a treatment it was for fungal infections such as athletes foot. Tea tree comes from the M. alternifolia which lives in Australia and is a small shrubby tree with narrow leaves and has a cream flower in the spring. The aboriginal people used the trunk to make small canoes and knives and Captain Cook's crew from The Endeavour used the leaves as a substitute for a refreshing, spicy tea.
