General Description
Manuka Essential Oil is similar to Tea Tree Oil but with extra properties.
Manuka is great to use where a pleasant rather than medicinal smell is appropriate. It is especially useful where long term treatment is required.
It contains the insectiside Leptospermone so is great to use as an insect repellent and to soothe insect bites and stings.
Manuka is highly bactericidal across a wide spectrum so is good to use on scratches, scrapes, boils and spots.
It is also a good mood-lifter. For example, why not try adding a few drops to your bath as a pick-me-up for those winter blues.
It is good for people with dry, oily or sensitive skin. Use well diluted - Manuka is especially effective in Avacado or Jojoba for dry and sensitive skin.
