Tea Tree NPN 80095322
Melaleuca alternifolia
The many healing properties of the oil distilled from the twigs and pointed leaves of this Australian tree are the subject of significant medical research. It is a traditional remedy used by Australian Aborigines to treat infected wounds.
History: The tea tree was discovered in Australia by naturalists accompanying Captain Cook on his second voyage on the Endeavour (1772-1775). Its leaves replaced the tea that the great navigator's crew was said to have sorely lacked. Another version has it that an Australian lake cured the sick who bathed there because it was surrounded by beneficial trees whose leaves fell into its water and infused in the bright sunshine. The healing properties exploited by the Aborigines were so evident that soldiers of the Australian Expeditionary Force during the Second World War added the tea tree to their field pharmacy.

Eucalyptus radiata NPN 80095317
Eucalyptus radiata
Its bark has the particularity of spontaneously detaching itself from the trunk in long ribbons, and its narrow and long green leaves were used in the fresh state by the Australian Aborigines to dress wounds and keep mosquitoes away. Slightly milder than Eucalyptus globulus essential oil, it is all the more accessible, especially for children who will be able to benefit from its most remarkable expectorant and decongestant respiratory effects. In diffusion, it acts favorably on tired individuals, prey to fixations or inner agitation.
History: Eucalyptus is a tree that can reach 50 meters in height. It is native to Tasmania in Australia, but its therapeutic use knows no bounds. Highly prized in Europe, its use is also widespread in the United States, Asia, and the far reaches of Africa. In German hospitals, eucalyptus is applied to the body via soaked compresses. Among the Zulu tribes, for example, healers use eucalyptus to treat coughs and asthma. In Asia, where the traditional use of medicinal plants is still very present, eucalyptus represents a very accessible medicine both in terms of supply and price.

Cinnamon NPN 80096911
Cinnamomum verum
Cinnamon is one of the oldest known spices, referenced in ancient Chinese, Sanskrit, and Egyptian writings, as well as in the Old Testament and the Torah. Cinnamon traveled the Silk and Spice Route from Asia to Mesopotamia, and then to the great cities of ancient Greece and Rome. The leaves of the cinnamon tree yield a spicy, clove-like essential oil known for its purifying properties. Its name comes from "canna," the Latin for "reed," and refers to its rounded shape, obtained from the bark of cinnamon tree branches, which curls up as they dry.
History: Since the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC, it has been used in China for its medicinal properties. Cinnamon was already known in Antiquity, although it is not really known where it came from. It was considered as precious as gold and used for its medicinal properties, as a digestive, a fortifier, but also as a spice to flavor wine. In Egypt, it was used in the process of embalming bodies, but also in the making of perfumes and holy oil. It is even said that Cleopatra used it willingly to bewitch her suitors.
