Tea Tree
Throat · Vishuddha · 741 Hz
Cleanse the air. Trust the simple.
The cleansing oil in our range — Melaleuca alternifolia, indigenous to Australia and known to the Bundjalung people centuries before European naming. Steam-distilled from the leaves where the terpinen-4-ol that gives the oil its character concentrates. Throat chakra at 741 Hz — the seat of clear, honest air. One of the few oils tradition has allowed (with care) at modest dilutions on minor skin imperfections.
