Where does Tea tree oil come from
The oil is extracted from a plant native to Australia. It is not to be found naturally occurring elsewhere. The tea tree oil is quiet inexpensive as compared to the other essential oils.
Tea tree oil or melaleuca oil, is an essential oil with a fresh camphoraceous odor and a color that ranges from pale yellow to nearly colorless and clear. It is taken from the leaves of the Melaleucaalternifolia, which is native to Southeast Queensland and the Northeast coast of New South Wales, Australia.
