Tea Tree

Tea Tree Oil was first recommended to me as a new weapon in my seemingly everlasting battle with the head louse. I was, to say the least, incredulous that a naturally occurring oil could succeed where many modern chemicals had failed. But at only £2.49 for a bottle, I thought what the heck, and gave it a try. ~~~History of the Oil~~~ Melaleuca Alternifolia has been used for hundreds of years by the Bundjalung aborigine tribe, of the Bungawalbin valley, on the far north coast of New South Wales, Australia.
