About the Oil: Tea tree oil is one of the best–known essential oils for purifying and cleansing, and effectively supports the immune system during the challenging winter season. This is a wonderful, fresh, premium tea tree oil with light floral notes. It is important that tea tree oil be fresh for the greatest efficacy of therapeutic applications.

Tea tree essential oil can also help soothe insect bites, but is even better used as an insect repellent; one aromatherapist claims tea tree is the best she's ever used. A must for the traveler's medicine kit.
