Tea Tree in New South Wales

Melaleuca alternifolia is a tall shrub or tree of the myrtle family. It is native to the Bungawalbin Valley in New South Wales. The Bundjalung peoples were likely the first to use the plant medicinally. Oral history describes healing lakes holding fallen leaves.

From Bush Tradition to the Laboratory

In the 1920s the Australian chemist Arthur Penfold published papers on the germicidal effects of Australian essential oils. In 1930 the Medical Journal of Australia published a report on tea tree oil. After 1930 it was sold in pure form and added to soaps, shampoos and lotions.
