Introduction
The tea tree is native to only one area of the world, the northeast coastal region of New South Wales, Australia. The leaves of tea tree were used by the early settlers of Australia to make tea, hence the name "tea tree." During World War II, tea tree oil was routinely incorporated into machine "cutting" oils in Australian ammunition factories, where it was said to have reduced the number of infections resulting from abrasions caused by metal filings on the hands of workers.
Today, tea tree oil is used as a topical disinfectant and antiseptic for burns and cuts. It can also be used as an oral antiseptic rinse. Tea tree oil has been studied for its possible benefit in a number of other topical, oral and gynecological applications.
