Manuka Essential Oil
|
 Botanical Name: Leptospermum scoparium
Plant Part: Leaves and seeds.
Extraction Method: Steam.
Origin: New Zealand
Description: Manuka is one of three tea trees indigenous to both Australia and New Zealand. Manuka essential oil from The East Cape region of New Zealand has been confirmed as having the highest antimicrobial activity. There is evidence indicating that it is up to 20 times more potent than Australian tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia).
Color: Clear with a Light yellow tone
Common Uses: The properties are very similar to that of Tea Tree. These include antibacterial, antifungal, anti-acne, anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, and antiallergenic properties. It has practical applications on chicken pox, cold sores, insect bites and warts.
Consistency: Medium and slightly oily
Note: Top to Middle
Strength of Aroma: Medium
Blends well with: Much like Tea Tree essential oil, Manuka oil blends well with Lavandin, Lavender, Clary-sage, Rosemary, Oak moss, Pine, Cananga, Geranium, Marjoram and spice oils – particularly clove and nutmeg.
Aromatic Scent: Manuka essential oil has a woodsy, cedar like smell that is much warmer than Tea tree.
History: Manuka has long been valued for its healing properties by the Maori people - the indigenous people of “Aotearoa” (New Zealand ) . Infusions and poultices were made from the leaves and inner bark and the seed capsules and sap were chewed. Early European migrants produced a tea from Manuka leaves for refreshment and health. The Manuka tree also produces a nectar that the bees turn into a rich amber honey. This is also known for its curative properties.
Cautions: None known.

I don't think there is a single essential oil I want that this site doesn't have! Imagine that, manuka right here! For anyone who hasn't tried it- your missing out! The fragrance is lovely, and it has many of the same properties of tea tree.... without the medicinal undertone in the scent!

Don't confuse this with Tea Tree as far as aroma goes! This is a sweet yet woody smelling scent that is great for perfume blends as well as aromatherapy. It has a tad bit of a bite to it like tea tree but not near as strong. Spicy and delicious!
The color is OUTSTANDING too a deep orange color which would make for a lovely looking perfume or synergy blend!
Worth the price.

This is one of the best quality manuka oils that I've ever found. The scent is nice, a deep honey-like aroma. It's also great as a first-aid oil for cuts, scratches, insect bites, etc. The whole family passes it around after camping (for the insect-bites). It's great!

Pretty good price tho' I've seen it for less. The quality is good though and its uses are many! This Tea Rose Oil is New Zealand's answer to Australia's Tea Tree Oil but is much stronger, more effective, more expensive. Its uses include; for abrasions, abscesses, acne, athlete's foot, blisters, burns, cold sores, dandruff, head lice, insect bites, laundry antiseptic, nappy rash, scalds, vaginitis, veruccas, warts. I use it in many blends but especially for athlete's foot blend.
