PDF-DATASHEET-TEA-TREE
This datasheet, authored by Renee Hughes for The Aromaspecialist, provides a concise overview of Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree) essential oil. It enumerates the oil’s energetic and therapeutic properties—including airborne antimicrobial, analgesic, anti‑acne, anti‑inflammatory, antifungal, antispasmodic, antiviral, expectorant, immunostimulant, and vasodilator effects—linking each activity to key constituents such as terpinen‑4‑ol, 1,8‑cineole, α‑terpineol, and α‑pinene. The sheet also notes safety considerations (non‑toxic but potential skin irritation when oxidized) and outlines the plant’s chemical families (monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, monoterpenols, oxides). References to Aromahead Institute, Botanica Conference, and Tisserand Institute are provided, positioning the document as an educational product overview for holistic practitioners.
