Captain Cook and his crew would later on take samples of the tea tree back to England for further study but nothing ever became of those studies and as a result the medical properties of the Melaleuca Alternifolia remained undiscovered to those outside of Australia.

Dr Dennis Considen, who was a surgeon recognized the medical properties of the tea tree but due to lack of training and equipment the powerful potential of the oil remained dormant for the next 150 years. In 1923 Dr.A. Penfold, an Australian chemist studied the tea tree oil in depth after distilling it and found that it had significant antiseptic as well as bactericidal properties. He presented his findings in 1925 to the Royal Society of new South Wales and England, you can find the first medical reference to the qualities of tea tree oil in the medical journal of Australia 1930.

When World War 2 broke out the melaleuca oil was an essential part of every Australian first aid kit as they fully recognized the many medical qualities that lie within it.

Later on, in 1960 further studies were conducted in an attempt to rediscover and recertify the effects of the tea tree oil and so it begun, the tea tree and its oil became the hit of the century and as a result the Australian government had to set some standards for development of acceptable quality oil which included a concentration of at least 35% terpinen 4-ol & no more than 10 % cineole.

Eventually the old standards would change slightly to accommodate room for further proliferation and in the current day, melaleuca oil is recognized & sold world wide. It has undergone extensive research and has proven its multiple medical benefits, a good quality oil today would have at least 35% terpinen 4-ol & no more than 10% cineole which is the 1967 standard.

Melaleuca has once more been re-recognized as an extremely effective cure for a variety of medical conditions. Who would have ever thought that a tree would have such a long and complex history?

So, the answer is yes, health, wellness & a tea tree do connect. Infact, they have connected so well that some companies have used melaleuca oil in many of their products to establish a successful health line.

Many have been blessed to learn and gain from the multiple benefits of the tea tree and for me, it was a discovery beyond all medical discoveries.

For therapeutic purposes, only the most pure oils will do. Unfortunately there are many companies out there selling low quality oils and you should only buy from a source that you trust. Like with anything else, you get what you get what you pay for so if an oil seems to be priced quite cheaply, it’s probably not a good quality oil for medicinal purposes.

When using essential oils, it’s important to remember that these oils are strong and should not be applied directly to the skin. Mix them with base oils like almond or wheatgerm oil to reduce their potency.

Essential Oils And Their Uses

Lavender

Perhaps the most popular of the essential oils, lavender has many uses. It is a great topical treatment which can help heal cuts, bruises and burns and is also a wonder aid to help you relax and can be a natural sleep inducer.

Peppermint

Peppermint oil is great for treating digestive complaints and may be used in preparations for freshening breath.

Tea Tree and Eucalyptus

These oils have long been used to treat a variety of respiratory ailments. These oils can be massaged into the chest or used in an oil burner and help relive congestion making them excellent oils to use for colds. Tea tree oil is also a natural antiseptic and can be dabbed on cuts, bites and stings. It can be used to treat spots and pimples and can be used to gargle but should never be swallowed.

Geranium

Geranium oil has been used for years as a pain reliever.

Rosemary and Thyme

Not only do these herbs taste good but they have wonderful antiseptic properties and can be good for healing problems with the skin.

Citronella

Citronella oil is a natural insect repellent so it’s no wonder they use it in the manufacture of oils and sprays as well as candles to repel insects. To protect your pet against fleas, try soaking his collar in citronella oil. To help keep down insects in summer, buy some citronella Geraniums and put the around your porch or deck.

Garlic

Garlic is another natural insect repellent and is vital in helping to keep your immune system healthy. It can be a great way to help prevent colds and viruses naturally. It also has antibacterial and antifungal properties. And it tastes good too!

Patchouli

This fragrant oil smells great when used in an oil burner but it is also a great topical treatment for eczema and dandruff.

This is another fragrant oil that can be burned for it’s aroma, and is also reputed to relieve stress, palpitations and high blood pressure.

Orange Oil

Cinnamon

This tasty herb is becoming popular for many treatments but it’s great when used as an aroma therapy. Mix it with orange oil and you’ll have a wonderful homey smell in your house. As a topical oil, it is excellent for warts and viral infections.

If you are really ambitious, you can grow these herbs yourself and collect the oil by stewing large amounts in pure water. Collect the steam and let it cool. The essential oils will rise to the top of the drained water and can be collected with an eyedropper. Or if you want a less labor intensive method, you can buy a product called a “flower still” which will help make the job easier.

These oils are availed from the living parts of plants and trees. This is why it is possible to be used safely and beneficially at home. In fact, you will in fact enjoy yourself more if you use oils for aromatherapy in your own home. However there are some points that you have to keep in mind when practicing aromatherapy on your own, in your house.

It is very important that you dilute essential oils before using them. They should not be applied directly on your body without any dilution. The only oils that can be used without any dilution are lavender and tea tree oil. You have to be very careful when using essential oils, especially around flames and heat sources. This is because these volatiel oils are flammable. So if you use burners to diffuse the oil, it is better to use the burner after putting water in the burner. This way, the essential oil enters the air when the water evaporates.

Usually, essential oils are used only externally. However, sometimes, an aroma therapist may advise oils to be taken by mouth. The reasons essential oils should not be taken internally is that some oils are toxic when swallowed. Sometimes essential oils are diluted and used as some form of oral treatment like mouthwash. In such cases, it should not be swallowed.

Make sure that you place the oils in a safe place, beyond the reach of children. It’s important that you consult the aroma therapist, if you intend to use these essential oils when pregnant, on your babies and young children. If you intend to use these oils not only as a form of aromatherapy, but also as part of homeopathic or herbal medicine treatment, then you should seek advice from both homeopathic and herbal medicine doctors and the aroma therapist.

Aromatherapy does not cure all medical conditions; that’s why the doctor should be consulted before using aromatherapy as a treatment for a medical condition. Once all these points are kept in mind, and followed, you will find your aromatherapy treatment to be both beneficial and enjoyable.
