The Tea Tree grows exclusively in Australia and has been used in ‘First Aid’ for thousands of years to cleanse and heal wounds, sores and abscesses. Legend has it that when Captain Cook landed in Australia, they used the leaves to prepare a refreshing drink, which then proved to help fight diseases such as scurvy - thus helping to give the tree its name. In the 20th century the Tea Tree was scientifically investigated and found that one kind - the Maleleuca Alternifolia - possessed antiseptic substances.

The Jüst range of Tea Tree products should not be confused with standard Tea Tree products and it is very important to recognise the difference between a good and bad quality Tea Tree. The effect is only as good as the quality and content of its components, which can vary greatly.

The effects and benefits of the Tea Tree can be significantly enhanced when mixed with certain other essential oils. The Jüst Tea Tree range includes Manuca oil that significantly enhances the effects of the Tea Tree, providing up to 20% more strength and is very caring to the skin. It also now includes Rosalina Oil, a tree that only recently has been used as a medicinal plant.

Tea Tree Oil with Manuca & Rosalina can be used as an antiseptic and also helps to fight fungus and inflammations. It can therefore have a beneficial effect on burns, skin inflammations, cuts and abrasions, infections of the respiratory tract, herpes, acne, warts, athlete’s foot and insect bites.

It can also help with mouth ulcers and cold sores by applying a drop of oil on the area in question with a cotton bud. Tea Tree also helps strengthen the immune system as it stimulates the generation of white blood cells. Tea Tree with Manuca & Rosalina Oil is one of the only two oils that can be used directly on the skin without irritating (Lavender is the other). A must for all households.

SUGGESTED COMBINATIONS

As this is one of only two oils that can be used safely on the skin, (Lavender Oil is the other), Tea Tree Oil can be added to many Just products. If suffering from skin problems such as acne, eczema or psoriasis, adding 5 drops to a San Activ Salts bath can have a beneficial effect. If suffering from a genital irritation, such as thrush, mixing one drop with Deo Intim Personal Hygiene wash can have an added effect. 1 drop added to Pedicream will help to keep feet healthy, fresh (bad smell free) or help to combat athletes’ foot. We also recommend using the other Tea Tree products in the range, Tea Tree Cream and Tea Tree Shampoo.
