Description
Leptospermum petersonii is a plant native to Australia and New Zealand. It belongs to the same family as tea tree, which may be why the plant is called "Lemon scented tea tree".It is a small shrub that can reach up to 8 metres in height. Very aromatic, its leaves, stems and flowers give off a strong lemon scent when touched.
Lemon-scented tea tree has traditionally been used in Australian Aboriginal medicine for its medicinal properties. It has been used to treat various ailments, including external treatment of respiratory problems and muscular pain. It has also been used as an insect repellent because of its citrus aroma.
Appearance: Clear liquid, colourless to light yellow.
Solubility: Soluble in alcohol and oil. Insoluble in water.
Precautions
Essential oils should not be used on children, pregnant women or during breastfeeding. Consult a specialist.
Tea tree essential oil is one of the few that can be used undiluted, although for greater safety a test should be carried out on a small area of skin. This will help determine whether it causes irritation or an allergic reaction.
