Manuka Wild Essential Oil - Manuka

This is a 5mL bottle of Manuka Wild Essential Oil (Leptospermum scoparium) from Oshadhi, Germany. It is a single essential oil extracted from the leaves of wild Manuka (a different species from Kanuka) harvested from its native habitat in New Zealand, using steam distillation. This essential oil comes from a plant globally renowned as the source of Manuka honey, and it boasts a distinctive fragrance characterized by a fresh and clean sensation with a complex woody and spicy undertone.

About the Manuka Plant

Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) is a shrub belonging to the myrtle family, native to New Zealand and southeastern Australia. The Maori people have long cherished this plant for various traditional uses, and the "Manuka honey" derived from its flower nectar is known worldwide. The essential oil is distilled from its leaves and possesses a unique component profile that differs from Manuka honey. Being "Wild" grown in New Zealand's unique ecosystem, it offers a more complex aromatic profile than cultivated varieties.

Aroma Profile

It features a sharp, clean opening similar to tea tree (also of the myrtle family), layered with a woody and spicy depth. The scent is calmer yet more complex than tea tree. Unique components like leptospermone and calamene create a distinctive character not found in other essential oils. It is beloved by enthusiasts as a "New Zealand plant essential oil," alongside eucalyptus and tea tree.

How to Use

1. Aroma Diffuser: 1-3 drops. Blends well with eucalyptus and tea tree.
2. Steam Inhalation: Add 1 drop to hot water.
3. Do not apply undiluted essential oil directly to the skin. For body care, dilute to 1% or less with a carrier oil.
