Description
Lemon Tea Tree (Leptospermum petersonii) is from the same plant family as common Tea Tree Oil but has different active components. The oil has all the highly effective antiseptic, anti-bacterial and antifungal properties associated with the tea tree oil itself but with a tangy, refreshing, bright lemon fragrance. It aids concentration and freshens up a home.
As part of a respiratory blend Lemon Scented Tea Tree will help to combat coughs and colds. It is recommended for the treatment of oily skin and acne, and it is also successfully used as a powerful insect repellent.
It blends, beautifully, with the Cineol oils, especially Nerolina. Best used in low dilution or it will overpower the other notes.

Energetics, Emotions and Chakras
7th Chakra – Mental, Physical, Emotional and Spiritual
The emotional roots are often associated with distrust of self or others, guilt and shame. This can be released with the assistance of Tea Tree. In the centre of our bodies, are the 7 chakras that our inner- body energy flows through. The oil will actually expand all the chakras and then align them with the Crown Chakra.
The Crown Chakra is the highest and symbolizes the ability to be connected spiritually. This chakra represents inner and outer beauty. The location is magically on top of your head.
The corresponding chakra colours are yellow and blue. Yellow represents our Solar Plexus Chakra and the location is upper abdomen in your stomach. This affects you worth, confidence and esteem. Blue is the Throat Chakra and symbolizes communications and self-expressions. It signifies trust and keeping secrets.
