Similar to Tea Tree, but Manuka has extra properties. Use where a pleasant rather than medicinal smell is appropriate - good to use where long term treatment is required. Contains leptospermone, which is insecticidal - insect repellent / insect bites and stings. Anti-viral and anti-fungal, highly bactericidal across a wide spectrum. A few drops in the baths as a pick-me-up for winter blues. Use with avocado or jojoba for people with dry or sensitive skin, good for oily skin - dilute well before use. Great to use in air sprays or burners. |
