Hi Kenzi,

Thanks for raising the question. Hmmmmm....I guess I should have
been clearer. Sleep deprivation makes me dance over the details.
For the purpose of this tea tree they define pharmaceutical grade as
less than 5% cineole and over 35% terpinen-4-ol. They stipulate that
their pharmaceutical grade standard exceeds the American standards
and is pharmaceutical standard as established by the Australian Tea
Tree Oil Industry Association. (What ever that means to someone.)
Forty percent terpinen-4-ol is around the percent, I believe, that
Catherine was talking about. So I figured above 35% was close
enough. Hopefully, the rest of this information will help Nico or
someone else looking at this to determine if this is the type we need
to be using. Sure hope so since I stocked up and it is the same tea
tree that lots of others here have gone out and purchased.

But it is really best to have this right before we start misplacing
responsibility for our bad results. I can always return the tea tree
and get plants instead. Good looking out!
