New Zealand Manuka tea tree oil

Filed Under Manuka tea tree oil | 

In the year 1769, when Captain James Cook first explored New Zealand, he was made aware of the Manuka plant. Because of its similarity to tea bushes with which he was already familiar, and because a medicinal tea was brewed from the Manuka bush leaves, he referred to it as the tea tree, a name which has remained to this day.

Since earliest times in New Zealand, the Maori people have used the Manuka plant as part of their traditional medicine. Various parts of the plant are used to treat burns, wounds, skin disorders, colds, fevers and digestive ailments.

Researchers in the field of aromatherapy have looked into Manuka oil and determined that it has useful antibacterial, antifungal, anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory properties that make it helpful in relieving ailments associated with skin inflammations, mucous membranes and rheumatic disorders. The skin tolerates Manuka oil very well and it assists in the treatment of itching, skin and scalp irritations, as well as reportedly being helpful against stress, anxiety and nervousness.

The range of skin care products available from Manu Nutraceuticals include a hypoallergenic cream that does not contain any fragrances, color, acid or artificial preservatives and people who have sensitive skin have reported that it is superior to other moisturizing creams they have tried.
