Tea tree essential oil, extracted from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, is prized for its fresh, medicinal aroma, with notes of camphor and spice. Native to Australia, it is obtained by steam distillation, capturing its active compounds, notably terpinen-4-ol. As a dietary supplement, it can be used in capsule form or as an essential oil diluted in a vegetable oil. It is often associated with purifying and supportive benefits.
