Extraction

Manuka essential oil – produced almost exclusively in New Zealand – is obtained by steam distillation of leaves and twigs and appears as a clear, pale yellow liquid that releases a strong, earthy, woody, warm scent with a spicy undertone.

Affinity

Manuka essential oil harmonizes well with the essential oils of: Agarwood, Ambrette, Carrot Seed, Balsam of Peru, Cypress, Cistus, Nutmeg, Frankincense, Palmarosa, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Ginger as well as with Oakmoss absolute.

Property

For centuries, Manuka has been used by the native New Zealanders (the Maori) as a medicinal plant, which is why it has attracted the interest of scholars, especially in recent decades. The essential oil obtained from it, non-toxic and non-irritating, has exceptional antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, germicidal, and even immunostimulant properties, which can be fully exploited through the use of a diffuser. Its bactericidal effect is up to thirty times more effective than that of the better-known tea tree essential oil. Although distilled rather infrequently, it has an antifungal effect on the skin, often proving to be a supreme remedy for acne, dermatoses, and insect bites.

Uses

There is no mention of industrial uses (pharmacy, soap making, wax making, etc.) for Manuka essential oil; its use in cosmetics is also unusual or absent.

Botany

Also known as "Tea Broom", Manuka is native to Tasmania and New Zealand. It grows wild in its native regions but is also present in Europe and North America, where it was introduced both as an ornamental shrub and for honey and essential oil. It is a small evergreen shrub with hard, resistant wood that can reach four meters in height, with leathery, ovate-lanceolate leaves and five-petalled flowers that are usually white (rarely pink or carmine red). Manuka, considered an invasive species, is known for being among the first plant species to recolonize deforested areas.
