Manuka essential oil is extracted from the New Zealand shrub leptospermum scoparium. The production process uses leaves, seeds, bark and resin, which, when subjected to steam distillation, produce an extremely valuable product - essential oil. Interestingly, the manuka bush also produces very healthy honey, which is very popular. But speaking of oil...
The oil has a unique composition, and the substances it contains are rarely found in other essential oils. The product exhibits antimicrobial properties, fights recurrent fungal infections, disinfects wounds and speeds up the healing process. The oil is invaluable during infections - it helps clear the sinuses, relieves persistent coughs and cold symptoms (headache, congestion of nasal mucous membranes).
Manuka essential oil also fights free radicals. Studies show that it improves skin condition, helps maintain a youthful appearance, reduces the appearance of pimples and other imperfections. Recommended for scalp care - it eliminates bacteria, yeast and fungi that attack the scalp, causing dandruff and hair loss. Manuka oil is a natural body deodorant that further cares for delicate skin.
It has an earthy, herbal, yet sweet, light and pleasant scent. It balances, soothes, relaxes and gives a sense of calm. It will work well during a massage or a relaxing bath.
