In the light of the previous description, which highlights the great strength and determination of the action of the tea tree, it is easy to compare its action to the masculine yang.

• Planet governor: The reason why this plant has been associated with Jupiter rather than Mars, a planet to which it would be more superficially approachable, derives from the fact that the combat and protection action offered by its essence is decidedly more mature and lasting, so much so as to often guarantee resolution of problems over time. While Mars, the god of war, instinctively fights, Jupiter guarantees paternal protection.

A constant and daily use of this essence strengthens and invigorates making us real fighters.

Precautions and contraindications for use:

Historical-cultural notes:
The name of the tea tree seems to derive from the fact that, when Captain Cook landed with his men on the Australian coast, he quenched his thirst with the refreshing infusion of the leaves of this plant. It then became the tea tree. All the knowledge we have of this oil today comes from the Australian Aboriginal tradition. The aborigines first and the settlers of those lands then, used this plant as a first aid remedy in wounds and skin lesions. The tea tree does not boast a traditional presence in popular herbal medicine, as a plant very distant from our western world and little known. Nowadays it is by right one of the most important essences with an anti-infective action in the aromatherapy panorama. Even on the official medical front, scientific studies are beginning to spread aimed at refuting its two main actions: its great ability to counteract all three varieties of microorganisms responsible for pathologies, namely viruses, bacteria and fungi, and its ability to increase the individual reaction to the infectious insult as an immunostimulant. The tea tree is considered to be the propolis of the year 2000, as the same expectations are being poured into it from many quarters regarding the possibility of finally being able to have a natural antibiotic without side effects. The negative fame that the world of classic antibiotics has earned up to now is very beneficial to this aspect. Finally, it should not be forgotten that, unlike propolis, tea tree can be taken as an inhaled essence, with an evident tropism for the mucous membranes and the respiratory tract.

Cinnamon (wood), carnation (nails), geranium, true lavender 40/42, clary sage.
