Kānuka Essential Oil (Kinzea ericoides)
Historically, Māori communities utilized Kānuka for various skin, respiratory, and digestive issues. This essential oil is known for its antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. It can aid in the healing of minor wounds, acne, burns, bruises, and fungal conditions affecting the skin or nails.
Kānuka oil has a subtle floral aroma, distinct from Manuka, and possesses therapeutic properties that make it effective for treating skin blemishes and minor injuries. Additionally, it can be inhaled to help clear the airways and bolster the immune system during coughs and colds. When incorporated into massage, Kānuka oil penetrates deeply into muscles and joints, offering relief from stiffness and soreness.
Furthermore, inhaling Kānuka oil may assist in soothing the respiratory system during illness and support overall immune health and recovery. Its calming and relaxing qualities also make it beneficial for promoting restful sleep.
Kānuka essential oil pairs beautifully with Cedarwood, Lavender, Lemon, Sandalwood, Eucalyptus, Cypress, and Cinnamon Leaf.
