How Does NSI® 100% Pure Tea Tree Oil work?
NSI® 100% Pure Tea Tree Oil is a highly-concentrated, undiluted extract that’s steam distilled from the leaves of the Australian Melaleuca alternifolia tree. Recognized for its natural antiseptic and antibacterial properties, tea tree oil is often used for cleansing the skin, hair and scalp as well as for addressing various skin irritations.
First used by the Australian aborigines in the 1700s to soothe cuts, burns and insect bites, tea tree oil gained popularity in the early 1900s when Australian physicians began using it as a post-surgery skin cleaner and protectant. It quickly became a popular household remedy for skin irritations and was included in first-aid kits for Australian soldiers during World War II.
Tea tree oil contains chemicals called terpenoids, which are naturally produced by the plant as a possible defense mechanism against predators. The main active constituent, terpinen-4-ol, appears to be responsible for the antimicrobial activity of tea tree oil.
Tea tree essential oil is considered “cleansing, purifying and invigorating.” It’s typically used in aromatherapy to:
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils extracted from different parts of aromatic plants to support mental and physical health and well-being. Because they’re highly concentrated, essential oils are usually diluted in a carrier oil such as almond, olive, grapeseed or jojoba prior to use. For proper dilution ratios, please consult an aromatherapy book or professional.
Aromatherapy practices may include massage, inhalation, full-body bath, hand/foot bath, facial steaming, facial masks, compresses, spritzers, perfume and flavoring. Essential oils may also be used for household purposes such as room fragrance (using diffuser or humidifier), laundry, cleaning, dish washing and more.
Essential oils are susceptible to the effects of heat, light, oxygen and moisture. It’s recommended that they be kept away from direct sunlight, at room (or slightly lower than room) temperature. Be sure bottles are tightly closed after each use.
Warning: Do not apply essential oils directly to the skin unless directed to do so by a qualified aromatherapist. Most essential oils are not for internal use.
