| General
Description |
| Manuka Essential Oil.
Similar to Tea Tree, but Manuka has additional properties of its own. 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. 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. |
