Tea Tree Australian
Aboriginals used the leaves to treat cuts and skin
infections. They would crush the leaves and apply them to
the affected area. Captain James Cook and his crew named the
tree "tea tree," using its leaves as a substitute for tea as
well as to flavor beer. Australian soldiers participating in
World War I were given tea tree oil as a disinfectant,
leading to a high demand for its production.
