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.
