Description: Manuka is one of three teatrees indigenous to Australia and New Zealand. Manuka essential oil from NZ has been confirmed as having the highest antimicrobial activity.
History: The manuka tree has long been valued for its healing properties by the Maori. Infusions and poultices were made from the leaves and inner bark. The seeds and sap were chewed. The manuka tree also produces a nectar that bees turn into a rich amber honey known for its curative properties.
Strength of aroma: medium
Common uses
Aromatherapy: Manuka oil may be used in aromatherapy to create a calming and relaxing environment. The aroma of the oil could potentially help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote a sense of well-being.
Air freshening: Manuka essential oil has a pleasant and uplifting scent. It can be added to diffusers, potpourri, or homemade room sprays to freshen the air and eliminate odours.
Cleaning agent: Some essential oils, including manuka oil, possess antimicrobial properties. Adding a few drops of manuka oil to homemade cleaning solutions might help disinfect surfaces and eliminate germs.
Insect repellent: Manuka oil's aroma might help keep insects like mosquitoes and flies at bay when used in diffusers or mixed with carrier oils for topical application.
Mood enhancement: The aroma of manuka essential oil might positively impact mood and emotional well-being. Incorporating it into self-care routines, such as in baths or massages, could contribute to a more uplifting experience.
Potpourri and crafts: Manuka essential oil's pleasant aroma makes it a potential ingredient in potpourri blends and crafting projects.
Safety data: Very potent and not to be used on sensitive skin. Avoid use during pregnancy.
