Description
Manuka essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of Leptospermum scoparium, a New Zealand native, sourced from the Coromandel. It has a warm, woody, slightly sharp herbaceous aroma and acts as a middle note.
Its distinctive, grounding scent is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with comfort and wellbeing, and it is popular for creating a clean, fresh atmosphere at home, particularly through the cooler months and seasonal changes. It blends well with woods, herbs and citrus. It is a mild skin irritant and a skin sensitiser, so dilute it before use on the skin and patch test first.
