Bundjalung Tribe

Bundjalung Tribe of New South Wales Australia
for hundreds of years for its medicinal properties.
Penfold and found to be around 12 times more powerful than carbolic acid and yet
caused no harm to the skin. It was used extensively by the Australian Defence
Force during World War Two but due to the discovery of synthetic drugs did not
become popular again until the 1960's.

Over the years it has proved itself as a natural antiviral, antibacterial,
anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory oil. One great development was that it was found
to deep penetrate the skin cleaning it and encouraging the formation of scar
tissue.
Some of the medical uses include healing blisters, reducing swelling from
insect bites and stings, cleaning and healing abrasions and cuts, cures athletes
foot and is very helpful in the healing of acne. It will cure a sore throat,
cold sores, coughs and dental abscesses. It will solve most day to day first aid
and medical problems.
It also lends to daily beauty care as putting drops in shampoo, body lotion,
hand cream and in the bath will keep hair and skin clean and healthy. A couple
of drops on toothpaste will prevent gum infections and bad breathe. It helps
take the sting out of sunburn and softens corns and calluses.
Bundjalung Tribe's anti-bacterial properties also extend use in the household
chores, making the house clean and healthy. Putting drops in the humidifier will
clean, disinfect and refresh the air and putting drops in the dishwasher and
washing machine will kill all the germs.
Tea Trees only grow in Australia. There are many brands that are from inferior
trees and not from the genuine Tea Tree whose Botanical name is Malaeuca. The
name Tea Tree was given by Joseph Banks the botanist who traveled with Captain
Cook and collected the leaves to make herbal teas.
Your first purchase should be made from a Health Shop until you know how to
define whether it is the genuine oil or an inferior oil as the results will
obviously not be the same with an inferior product.
There are many excellent websites on the internet and many excellent books
which will give you all uses of this wonderful oil. You will be amazed at the
excellent results you obtain and will find it is truly a medicine kit in a
bottle.
