Melaleuca costata
Melaleuca costata, also known as the coastal tea tree, is a plant species native to Western Australia, characterized by its small white flowers and aromatic leaves.
The plant has been used in traditional medicine for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which are attributed to its high concentration of essential oils, including cineole and limonene.
The health benefits of Melaleuca costata include its ability to relieve respiratory issues, such as bronchitis and coughs, as well as its potential to reduce inflammation and improve wound healing.
In herbal preparations, Melaleuca costata is often used to make teas, tinctures, and essential oils, which can be used topically or internally to harness its medicinal properties.
