Folklore properties of Tea Tree:
Tea tree, also known as Melaleuca alternifolia, has many folklore and traditional uses: 
  • Protection - In folklore, tea tree flowers are often used in rituals to ward off negativity and protect against ill-health. For example, in one Bundjalung story, the Gods of the Earth scattered tea tree seeds along Princess Eelamani's path to light her way and keep her safe. 
  • Cleansing - Tea tree oil is sometimes used in spiritual cleansing rituals to purify the aura and remove negative energy. 
  • Medicine - Indigenous Australians have used tea tree for centuries as a folk medicine to treat coughs, colds, sore throats, and skin ailments. They would inhale the oils from crushed leaves, sprinkle leaves on wounds, or soak leaves to make an infusion. 
  • Antiseptic - Tea tree oil has been used as an antiseptic to kill germs. 

WARNING: Before using products with activated charcoal or tea tree, consult a qualified medical practitioner if: 
  • Have a chronic illness
  • Are taking medications where the dosage is important, such as antibiotics or HIV medication
