Melaleuca Melaleuca (Melaleuca alternifolia) is a very powerful oil. The oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of certain myrtle shrubs and trees. More commonly known as “Tea Tree,” Melaleuca has over 92 different compounds and limitless applications. The leaves of the Melaleuca tree were used by the Aborigines of Australia for centuries. They would crush the leaves and inhale the oil to promote clear breathing and apply the leaves directly to the skin to help with recovery. Taken internally, Melaleuca enhances immunity when seasonal threats are high. Diffusing Melaleuca will help purify and freshen the air.
