To get HMS Endeavour repaired required wood. That was certainly in plentiful supply. In the process of cutting down the trees, the men came into contact with the leaves on the trees they cleared. Bit by bit they found that cuts and abrasions, burns, bites and their debilitating skin ailments began to clear. The doctor with Captain Cook, Joseph Banks, took note of this and came up with what was, to him, a rather astonishing fact. The locals, Aborigines, used the leaves as their medical treatment. They had been using Tea Tree leaves for hundreds of years! The locals crushed the leaves so that the "juice" ran into their sores, thus healing them. With a poultice of mud surrounding the wound, a cure was soon apparent. Captain Cook's men repaired almost as rapidly as his boat.
On their return home the news of Tea Tree was quickly taken up by the medical world. The research was made into its bactericidal and germicidal properties. It was noted as a "nonpoisonous, nonirritating antiseptic of unusual strength". And that is the case to this day. It is a very powerful natural medicine. The next significant use of tea tree was for the soldiers in both World Wars. They were treated with tea tree! The men each were given bottles of it during the Second World War because in the First World War they found that soldiers suffering from infected feet, when treated with tea tree oil, were rapidly cured.
I have always recommended that each and every one of us should have a small bottle of tea tree essential oil with a bottle of lavender essential oil. With lavender essential oil, you have, with a few sticking plasters, the natural "first aid kit". I offer our customers such a pack. And here is why. Take a small, clean tissue and apply several drops of Lavender Oil. Slide the tissue between the pillow and pillowcase under your nose. Repeat as necessary.
