Alqvimia Tea Tree Essential Oil
The properties of the Essential Oil of the Tea Tree have been known for centuries by the aborigines, the first settlers of Australia. This Essential Oil is obtained by steam distillation of the leaves of a tree that grows only in northern Australia called Melaleuca alternifolia.
In Australia there are many types of trees with medicinal properties but the "Melaleuca alternifolia" is the one with the most properties and the greatest therapeutic power. This variety only grows in the area of Australia known as New South Wales and especially near the Richmond River. Pure Tea Tree Oil is colorless but can sometimes have a pale yellowish color.

Mode of use
There are different ways to apply and use Essential Oils and Essential Oil Preparations:
SKIN APPLICATION:
- face use: we recommend a ratio of 99% Carrier Oil plus 1% Essential Oil. This translates into 2 drops of Essential Oil for every 10 ml. of Carrier Oil.
- Body use: we recommend a proportion of 97% Carrier Oil plus 3% Essential Oil, which means 6 drops of Essential Oil per 10 ml. of Carrier Oil.
APPLICATION MODE:
- Diffuser: the use of diffusers without heat such as the ALQVIMIA Flask is recommended, since heat modifies the properties of essential oils. Use a maximum of 10 drops of Essential Oil Preparation in the diffuser.
- Bath: dilute a maximum of 10-15 drops of Essential Oil Preparation in a small amount of milk (vegetable or animal), yogurt, honey, salt or Bath Gel. This is because essential oils are not soluble in water and need a vehicle to dissolve in the bath.
- Vapor Inhalation: apply a maximum of 5 drops of the Essential Oil Preparation on a pan of hot water with approximately 1-2 liters of water, and inhale, covering the head and pan with a towel, to maintain the steam for longer.
- Sauna: dilute a maximum of 2 drops of the Essential Oil Preparation for every 500ml used in the sauna.
