Production ebbed after World War II as demand for the oil declined, presumably due to the development of effective antibiotics and the waning image of natural products. Interest in the oil was rekindled in the 1970s as part of the general renaissance of interest in natural products. Commercial plantations were established in the 1970s and 1980s, which lead to mechanization and large-scale production of a consistent essential oil product.[4]

Among over 98 compounds contained in the oil, terpinen-4-ol is responsible for most of the antimicrobial actions.citation needed

Although tea tree oil is normally extracted from Melaleuca alternifolia commercially, it can also be extracted from Melaleuca dissitiflora and Melaleuca linariifolia. Tea tree oil is defined by international standard ISO 4730 (2004) ("Oil of Melaleuca, Terpinen-4-ol type"), which specifies levels of 15 components which are needed to define the oil as "tea tree oil."....this is from wikipedia..... it also can be used as an antifungal

My foot doctor recommended it to me as a treatment for (yuk) a toenail fungal infection. It is so terribly bitter in it's pure form, I can't imagine 'cooking' with it! It has a very pungent odor. I keep a tiny little bottle of it. I even used it when I soaked a cottonball and put it in an area I knew a mouse was hanging out. Didn't see him return!

Beautiful here too. About 62 but that is good for this time of year. Sun is so bright I think I got a few new freckles while washing my car. Hope all are having a great day!
