Extraction and Farming Method The essential oil is extracted via steam distillation of the leaves and green branchlets. While Rosalina is grown in plantations, some wild harvesting of the plant still occurs. History Traditional Usage At present we don’t have any records of traditional use.  However it is quite reasonable to expect Rosalina was used by our First peoples, they would have rubbed the leaves on their skin and also inhaled the leaves of this plant. Early European Usage There tree was occasionally wild harvested for its medicinal essential oil. It was identified and reported by renown Australian chemist and Australian essential oil pioneer Baker and Smith in 1922. The trees also flower prolifically and so bee hives are located near the trees for honey production. Present Day Usage Rosalina essential oil (Lavender Tea Tree) is used by aroma therapists as an alternative for those who don’t like Lavender.
