I was first introduced to Kunzea in Australia and was instantly in love. I've smelled one other Kunzea which could easily be confused for a sweet Tea Tree, but ND's Kunzea is completely unique. Fruity, reminiscent of honey, maybe a note of banana. If you've smelled Manuka, they are similar, with Kunzea having a less antiseptic scent. Great for aches and pains, joint pain especially. Truly one of a kind and one of my favorite EO's.

This oil is one of my favorites and will probably always be. Great neat for sore muscles or joints, great in a humidifier or diffuser for colds, asthma, and simply to fill the room with a beautiful aroma. Highly recommended!
