Did you know?

Tea Tree has been used by Aboriginal peoples for millennia for treating cuts, wounds, and skin infections. They crush the leaves and make a poultice for the affected part, covering it with warm mud. Captain Cook revealed it to the rest of the world in the 18th century and it was given to soldiers in the Second World War as part of their first aid kit.
