TEA TREE

Tea Tree, or “Melaleuca” has over 90 different compounds and limitless applications. The leaves of the Tea Tree have been used by the Aboriginal peoples of Australia for centuries. It’s extracted from the leaves of Melaleuca shrubs or trees, which have a strong aroma when rubbed. Tea Tree oil is produced through the process of steam distillation where steam and pressure are used to release chemical components from the plant—pulling out the essential oil. Tea Tree is known for cleansing us on this physical plane, but it also is extremely powerful for cleansing the energy around us. It’s an oil of energetic boundaries and clears energetic baggage. It releases codependent relationships from our lives and moves all toxic relationships away from us. Tea Tree breaks the ties we have to the negative relationships we have formed, creating the space to create healthy connections that support our personal space, energy, and boundaries. She allows us to relinquish forms of self-betrayal (especially in the form of allowing others to take away our time, energy, talent).
