Jun 18 2016 0 The Tea Tree Skin “Miracle” – The 7 Benefits of Tea Tree Oil admin Healthy Skin Products Tea tree oil has become a popular natural ingredient in all kinds of shampoos, face soaps and ointments because of its amazing healing powers. This skin miracle comes from Australia, where over 300 species of tea trees naturally grow. Aboriginal tribes in Australia have known of the tea tree’s healing qualities for thousands of years. Australian aboriginals have known the secret to healthy glowing skin for centuries. They used tea tree oil to soothe skin and to heal cuts, and now you can use tea tree oil too! They boiled the leaves of the tea tree to make tea and antiseptic poultices that treated cuts, wounds, and skin infections. One legend even describes a magical lagoon where native people bathed to heal their burns, cuts, and skin disorders. Tea trees surrounded the pool, and the fallen leaves created a natural healing bath. But you don’t have to travel all the way to Australia to get the benefits of the tea tree.
