FAQ
How tea tree essential oil is extracted?
Tea tree oil is taken from the leaves of the tea tree plant. The leaves are steamed, and the heat causes the oil to turn into steam. This steam is collected and cooled, turning back into oil. The oil is then separated and bottled for use in different products.
How tea tree oil is made?
Today, tea tree oil is made using a process called steam distillation. The tea tree leaves are placed in a large container, and hot steam is passed through them, causing the oil to evaporate. The steam and oil travel through a cooling system, where the oil separates from the water. The oil is then collected. Modern technology helps make the process faster and more efficient, producing high-quality oil in larger amounts.
How does tea tree oil kill fungus?
Tea tree oil kills fungus because it contains natural compounds called terpenes. These terpenes break down the outer layer of the fungus, making it harder for the fungus to survive and spread. That’s why tea tree oil is commonly used to treat fungal issues like athlete's foot or nail infections. It's a natural and effective way to fight fungus.
Where does tea tree oil come from?
Tea tree oil comes from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant, which grows in the coastal areas of eastern Australia, especially in New South Wales and Queensland. The climate and rich soil in these regions make it the perfect environment for tea tree plants to thrive.
