What is tea tree oil and where can I get it?
It's an oil made from the melaleuca plant and is quite common here in the U.S. since it's either made here or imported from the south pacific.

Here's some info at Wikipedia:

As for where you can get it in England I'm not sure (here we have it mostly in health-food stores), but if you can't seem to find it just eat a mouthful of raw onion and it'll do just as good (nice and spicy too).
