Kanuka essential oil is derived from the leaves and twigs of the Kanuka tree, which is native to New Zealand. Kanuka (Kunzea ericoides) is closely related to Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) and shares similar therapeutic properties.

Kanuka essential oil is known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. It has been traditionally used by Māori for its healing benefits, including treating wounds, skin infections, congestion, and respiratory issues.

Some common uses of Kanuka essential oil include:
- Treating skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and dermatitis
- Relieving muscle aches, pains, and inflammation
- Supporting respiratory health and clearing congestion
- Promoting relaxation and reducing stress and anxiety

Kanuka essential oil can be used aromatically, topically, or internally, but it is important to dilute it properly and follow recommended guidelines for safe use. As with any essential oil, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before using Kanuka essential oil, especially if you have any medical conditions or are pregnant or nursing.

Diffuse in a oil burner or add a few drops to a warm bath for a ultimate relaxation and restorative experience as part of your self care ritual.
