Preparation
-
The oil comes from the Melaleuca leucadendra. This is a tree that often grows in Australia, India and the Sunda Islands. The tree produces large white flowers that hang from a thorn. The trunk of the tree is light in color. The leaves are picked young and fired in boilers. There the steam is collected and distilled into oil. It was not until the 19th century that the production of this oil began. In the 20th century, the oil was best known for its diaphoretic effect. In the 21st century, the oil is used for multiple applications. Nevertheless, it must be said that the oil was already used in the 17th century. At the time it was mainly used for its disinfecting effect, it also has a calming effect on nervousness. In Indonesia there are large plantations that ensure that the high demand for this oil can be met.
