Australia's 'forgotten' tea tree, becoming very popular
in the USA, and will be in the UK. Also known as
Leptospermum citratum. Mainly composed of citral and
citronellal, and said to have antiseptic, antimicrobial,
carminative and sedative properties, Lemon Tea-Tree has
a much nicer, rounder "lemony" scent than
citronella or lemongrass.
Has antiseptic, antimicrobial, carminative and sedative
properties, it is used in aromatic blends for the oil
burner to combat coughs and colds. It is also
successfully used as a powerful insect repellent. This
oil provides the clinical advantages of tea tree oil
with a pleasant aroma. Also reputed to be anti-viral.
Often used by Chiropodists to treat fungal infections or
chronic foot odour. Makes an excellent antiseptic room
spray.
