This Cypress family member contains quaiazulene, providing anti-inflammatory properties offered in other blue oils such as yarrow, German chamomile and tansy. Blue Cypress Oil offers a middle to base note in fragrance blends, slowing the evaporation of top notes. It blends well with other wood notes and citrus scents.Blue Cypress was a traditional medicine for thousands of years, lending credence to its current day uses. This native Australian tree was used as a skin wash for cuts and sores, to soothe abdominal cramping and as an analgesic and insect repellent. As a grounding base note, it is also useful for those of a nervous disposition, providing a calming and reassuring effect. An immune tonic, antibacterial and antiseptic, it helps treat and prevent infection. This tropical conifer produces clear annual growth rings, and has been shown to be potentially useful for understanding past climate variability in northern Australia. Unique among ancient trees, this prehistoric aromatic offers soothing effects on body, mind and spirit. “Anecdotal data has shown the oil to have good anti-inflammatory and pain–relieving properties against allergic hives, insects (like sand fly, bee, wasp, mosquito), rheumatoid arthritis, general joint pain and swelling. It has also been shown to be an anti-irritant, soothing nappy rash and reducing erythema in a small trial. The oil exhibits antiviral properties, being particularly effective against common warts (verruca), shingles (herpes zoster) and cold sores (herpes simplex). The oil also has been used for burns where it has significantly reduced the healing time and pain associated with the injury” (Webb). https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_CI.pdf

The genus name derivation is quite interesting: Melaleuca from the Greek “melas”, meaning black and “leukos”, meaning white; referring to black marks on the white trunks of some species due to fire. The species name, teretifolia, is from Latin “teres”, meaning rounded; and “folius” meaning leaf, referring to the leaves of this species which are round in cross section.In perfumery it is considered a top to middle note scent and blends well with citrus and herbaceous aromas. An aged oil can contribute to irritancy. This essential oil is best stored in cold conditions for extending the shelf life to about three years. Its attributes include being useful against microbes, bacteria, fungus, and viruses. Unlike its relatives, Tea Tree, Niaouli and Lavender Tea Tree (Rosalina), this unique oil has the highest citral content of all the Melaleucas, contributing to its antimicrobial and antifungal activity. Like other oils prevalent with the constituent 1,8 cineole, Honey Myrtle is also an effective antimicrobial, especially for respiratory problems. As with many other Australian oils this is a good insecticide ingredient. It can also be used for skin problems, without fear of photosensitizing compounds found in citrus oils, especially cold pressed lemon oil. As a citrus note, its aroma is uplifting to body, mind and spirit. It can help invigorate and overcome lethargy while lightening the mood. https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_MT.pdf

Spot application of undiluted oil is generally well tolerated and useful for insect bites, cuts, and minor burns, producing immediate relief from pain, itching and irritation. It is useful in conditions of inflammation or respiratory problems. This relaxing essential oil reduces stress and mild anxiety or depression. It can provide relief from flu symptoms and is used to treat eczema and other skin conditions.Microbial testing showed effective activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, and Candida albicans. A research paper from the UK showed insecticidal activity comparable to natural pyrethrum extract. “Anecdotal feedback from users of the oil has shown it to be helpful in the treatment of the following conditions: eczema, dermatitis, rash, under nail infections and leg ulcers, and most helpful for the treatment of chilblains. The oil has also been found to ease the pain from insect bites, minor burns, recurring shingles and migraine, headache. (Webb). The Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has listed Kunzea (ID 99794) on its Register of Approved Ingredients as an active ingredient for topical and inhalation use in: Listed Medicines, Over the Counter, and Prescription Medicines.Various sponsors have obtained approval of products containing Kunzea Ambigua as a Listed Medicine on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) for indications including: temporary relief of joint inflammation, pain, swelling and aches associated with mild arthritis, relief of influenza symptoms; relief of muscular aches and pains; assistance with joint mobility in mild arthritis and osteoarthritis, stress and mild anxiety, assistance with nervous tension, nerve pain and mild neuralgia, toenail fungal infections, management of eczema and dry skin and temporary relief of rheumatism pain. https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_KA.pdf

Also cited is its potential as an antiseptic or surface disinfectant or for inclusion in foods as a natural antimicrobial agent, even noting its superiority to Tea Tree Oil. A 2002 research paper investigated the antimicrobial and toxicological properties of Lemon Myrtle. It was shown to possess significant antimicrobial activity against the organisms Staphylococcus aureus, Esche richia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Aspergillus niger, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Propionibacterium acnes comparable to its major component-citral. This paper also noted that a product containing 1% Lemon Myrtle Oil was found to be low in toxicity and could potentially be used in the formulation of topical antimicrobial products. Follow up research by the same authors was done in 2003, wherein they studied the in vitro percutaneous absorption of the essential oil of Lemon Myrtle. Though further research is needed, the combination of the methodologies used enabled the generation of data that could be applied for a comprehensive evaluation of the toxicity effects of Lemon Myrtle Oil for topical application.“Therapeutically, citral has been shown to exhibit sedative, antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Aldehydes and particularly citral have long been considered to have anti-tumour properties, though the few studies carried out have proven to be inconclusive.” (Webb).This oil is a very effective anti-microbial, possessing excellent bactericidal (gram positive and negative) properties which support its potential use as a 100% natural cosmetic preservative. Extensive studies are underway to determine its suitability for this application. https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_BC.pdf

Fusanus spicatus) Conventional, Wildcrafted Santalum Spicatum Wood Oil (syn. Fusanus Spicatus Wood Oil) Steam distilled (water) Wood 1, 5, 10, 20, 180 Australian Sandalwood now accounts for over 80% of the world’s sandalwood supplies. These reserves are carefully and sustainably managed by the Western Australian government through annual harvest quotas and extensive regeneration efforts.The essential oil comes from the heartwood of the tree. The Australian Sandalwood Tree must be more than 20 years old to develop the heartwood necessary for good quality oil. This contrasts to the Indian Mysore Sandalwood which requires at least 30 years to achieve the same quality. Research by Sydney University has shown that WA Sandalwood has anti-inflammatory properties in-line with the traditionally used East Indian Sandalwood. Anti-inflammatory properties have been attributed to alpha-bisabolol and the WA Sandalwood contains higher amounts of alpha-bisabolol (5-10%) than East Indian Sandalwood Oil. Santalum spicatum also contains beta-santalene (generally less than 1%), another component that has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties. It is especially suited to the treatment of hot, red skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rash or other inflammation. It has a long historic association with the treatment of urinary tract infections. It is astringent and helps resolve respiratory congestion, and is especially useful when soothing, demulcent effects are required, such as in chronic bronchitis involving dry cough. It is also a lymphatic decongestant, specific for stasis such as varicose veins and swollen. https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_SS.pdf

It was first recorded as a medicine in the Charaka Samhita, the first documented Ayurveda materia medica. Modern science has recognized Sandalwood for its antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties.Misra and Dey (2012) reported the MIC against S. aureus as 0.087, and E. coli at a very respectable 0.156, while Hire and Dhale (2012) characterized Sandalwood Oil’s Zone of Inhibition against E. coli at 22mm. From an anti-viral perspective, Treatment of cold sores and genital warts induced by the infection of HSV-1 or HSV-2 was effectively achieved by delivery of therapeutically active doses of Sandalwood oil (Singh and Nulu, 2010).Sandalwood provides formulators with anti-inflammatory opportunities. Purified α-santalol and β-santalol were found to suppress lipopolysaccharide-induced production of eicosanoids, prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane B2, mimicking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Sharma et al., 2014). Establishment of large scale Sandalwood (Album) plantations in Australia commenced in the early 2000s. These plantations are providing the world with a sustainable and traceable supply of Indian Sandalwood. This new production, combined with Australia’s production of native Santalum spicatum oil, undisputably establishes Australia as largest producer of Sandalwood Oils in the world.Down Under offers customers a traceable and sustainable source of Indian Sandalwood Oil, complying with ISO 3518:2002, with the comfort of knowing your Sandalwood Oil is produced with 100% compliance with global benchmarks for workplace labor practices. https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_SAL.pdf

The “rosy” aroma also lends itself to being a replacement for other more expensive “rose” scented oils. It blends well with other oils, being compatible for formulation of various types. From the standpoint of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is considered a “yin” oil, calming many conditions of heat (excess “yang”) such as inflammation, swelling, tenderness, as well as mental overstimulation that may lead to insomnia or anxiety. The main constituent, linalool, is a good antiseptic, spasmolytic and anticonvulsant. Researchers at the ethnopharmacology laboratory at the University in Porto Alegre, Brazil, have shown that linalool has effective sedative effects and is rapidly absorbed through the skin and nasal mucosa. It is an effective antibacterial for upper respiratory tract congestion and infections, particularly in small children. The oil is a gentle expectorant with good anti-infectious properties. Topical use on acne, insect bites, boils, athlete’s foot and herpes; it is antimicrobial and antifungal with a wide range of applications. Linalool delivers relaxation properties great for calming and relaxing, and ideal for sleep and stress disorders. This tertiary monoterpenol offers sedative properties (even through inhalation) that may work through the central nervous system to modify the response to excitatory neurotransmitters associated with convulsions. The antispasmodic effects work through the modulation of a cell signaling molecule which affects the ability of smooth muscle to contract (Bowles). https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_ME.pdf

It’s synergistic benefits with other essential oils are well documented, the MIC of Tea Tree Oil alone for S. aureus improves from 1% to just 0.25% when a combination of Lemon Scented and Tea Tree Oil is employed in a 1:5 ratio, respectively. Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil has also been found to be an excellent antifungal agent. Park et al.published their findings on the beneficial properties of Leptospermum petersoniiagainst five common dermatophytes. The authors reported that a Leptospermum petersonii concentration of 0.2mg/ml (0.02%) completely inhibited growth in three of five common organisms, with a growth of the remaining two being reduced by up to 92% versus control. Further work into its antifungal benefits was conducted by Hood et al. The authors evaluated the use of Leptospermum petersonii as an antifungal fumigant. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated a significant fungal burden reduction greater that that found with a course of conventional antifungal drugs.Perhaps the most intriguing use of Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil is its ability to effectively mask the odor of Tea Tree Oil. At a 1:7 concentration, the typical Tea Tree Oil smell is virtually indistinguishable, leaving only the fresh, uplifting lemony aroma.Research demonstrates it offers more powerful disinfectant properties than the more well-known Tea Tree Oil. https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_LP.pdf

(Hammer et al., 2006) Of particular note is Tea Tree Oil’s effectiveness in the treatment of acne. In 1990 researchers published the results of a prospective, controlled trial comparing Tea Tree Oil (M. alternifolia) to conventional acne treatments containing benzoyl peroxide. They concluded that although the Melaleuca alternifolia was initially slower to act, it was just as effective and yielded fewer side effects when compared to the benzoyl peroxide lotion. Tea Tree Oil is also a known and proven antiviral, including against HSV. It is confirmed (in vitro and in vivo studies) to also offer strong efficacy against a wide range of yeast and fungus. It is considered nontoxic and non-irritant, sensitizing to less than 0.2% of the general population. Caution is suggested in the interpretation of skin sensitivity studies using a Scandinavian patch test containing Tea Tree Oil as this test uses a highly oxidized form of Tea Tree Oil. Other studies have demonstrated a 0% incidence of irritation in formulations of less than 10% Tea Tree Oil. Research has also shown Tea Tree Oil’s effectiveness against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This is a very exciting potential for Tea Tree Oil given the issues of MRSA contagion in public buildings such as hospitals and prisons. https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_MA.pdf

This oil presents as a dark citron green, viscous liquid. The concrete is partially soluble in ethanol.Produced from the leaves of the native Tasmanian Mountain Pepper bush (Tasmannia lanceolate) and traditionally used as a spice, Tasmanian Native Pepper has been a favorite within the local market for decades. Lipophilic extracts of Tasmanian Native Pepper are very high in the unique pungent compound polygodial.Very few plant species in the world contain polygodial, which research has shown is responsible for many interesting properties with potential applications in food, flavor, oral care, cosmetics, fragrance, therapeutic goods, and cleaning products. Of note, while this is highly pungent (180,000 Scoville units), it is considered as a (dermal) non-irritant (RIPT) in a 2% concentration.Cock, et al. (2015) reported on the study of native Australian flora to inhibit the microbial onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by Proteus mirabilis. The authors noted Mountain Pepper Oil (Tasmannia lanceolate) elicited the most favorable inhibition of Proteus mirabilis, with MIC significantly less than 1000ug/ml (0.01%). The authors also noted the extract was non-toxic using the Artemia napulii bio-assay. The authors concluded that the bioactivity of Tasmannia lanceolate provides good potential as a blocker of microbial-induced rheumatoid arthritis. https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_TL.pdf

It has a history of use by the indigenous population; the Maori tribe used it for wounds, cuts, sores and skin diseases. Manuka honey has legendary therapeutic properties; especially researched for immunity, wound healing and resistant ulcerations.Manuka oil is useful for its analgesic, antibacterial (especially and exceedingly so for gram negative bacteria), antifungal, anti-inflammatory, deodorant, expectorant, immune tonic, insecticidal and sedative properties. Though the gram positive antibacterial properties are slightly lower for this oil than for Tea Tree, it more than compensates with a more pleasing fragrance profile while maintaining many similar uses. It treats most skin disorders including ringworm, athlete’s foot, acne, ulcers, wounds, cuts and abrasions. It is good for bites and stings and has the ability to reduce irritation and promote wound healing. Manuka oil is recommended for muscle aches, arthritic discomfort and pain. It benefits all disorders of the respiratory system including cough, and cold and flu mediation. It is especially suited to sensitive individuals who present with digestive disorders or sensitive skin conditions. It is said to balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. There are over 30 studies in PubMed on this botanical species, much focused on the immune-stimulant and antibacterial properties of the honey, including its efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus. The use of the essential oil has also been studied in vitro against herpes simplex I and II with effective results. https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_LS.pdf

It is often considered the ‘mother’ of all essential oils and its use dates back to the beginning of recorded history. While the Lavender from Down Under Enterprises is our only non-native Australian species – it is a true French Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) – we absolutely love this Lavender and have adopted it as our own because it’s been grown in Australia for so long. Established in Tasmania in 1923, the Lavender farm was created using seeds from France which were specifically selected as the “best of the best” of French varietals. Since then, no hybridization has occurred, due to the isolation of this farm in Tasmania, Experts have applauded this ‘true French lavender’ as being of the highest quality in the world.This Australian Lavender is characterized by its little to no cineole or camphor content, giving it a dominant floral scent, and making it extra gentle on the skin. PubMed lists nearly 1,800 research papers on this essential oil; clearly well studied for its therapeutic potential. Its antidepressant and antianxiety research is well known. Cosmetically, there is no skin condition for which it is not useful, from acne and rash to diaper irritation and sun damage. Insect itching and swelling stops almost immediately upon application. A French study compared Lavender with four other essential oils and found that Lavender was the only oil to consistently elicit a feeling of ‘happiness’. When these factors are combined with the benefits of touch, as with massage, it is especially effective in reducing stress, a major trigger for many health problems. Lavender oil is active against many species of bacteria and fungi, due to the geraniol and linalool, aromatic constituents of the oil. The calming effects are attributed to the abundant esters. https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_LA.pdf

Of particular interest, the constituents of the oil comprise 3 main functional groups – monoterpenes, an oxide, and monoterpenols – which are in near perfect balance. It is this balance that caught the attention of Dr. Penoel, one of the world’s foremost experts on aromatherapy and essential oils. When first experiencing this oil in 2008, Dr Penoel referred to Fragonia’s structure as having the “Golden Triangle” – the symbol of balance and harmonization. Fragonia is the result of years of efforts by Western Australian essential oil pioneers John and Peta Day, who identified the plant Agonis fragrans as having excellent potential as the basis for a new essential oil. Following much painstaking research and field studies of this native Australian plant, the Day’s identified the variety with the most attractive aromatic properties. It is this variety that they named Fragonia and established its trademark. They initiated propagation activities, produced the essential oil from the terminal branches, and began sharing the benefits of this plant with the world. The pleasing aroma makes it an effective substitute for those wanting to avoid Tea Tree Oil. Anecdotally, Fragonia may relieve jet lag. Traditional Chinese Medicine characterizes this oil as being balancing to both overly yin and yang conditions. https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_AF.pdf

Planted in intercropping rows with large wheat fi elds, these two species are largely responsible as saviors of the local environment by using their 20+ meter roots to reduce the impact of increased soil salinity by drawing down the water table. The management of these properties and the production of the essential oil from these two species is currently being prepared for Carbon Neutral status. The therapeutic potential for Eucalyptus Yandee Oil is strong. Eucalyptus Yandee (Eucalyptus loxophleba) produces an essential oil with a naturally high 1,8 cineole level of 70-75%), conferring many of the benefits of 1,8 cineole (Eucalyptol) on any formulated product. “1,8-cineole – antibronchitic, anticatarrhal, antiseptic, antitussive, CNS-stimulant, expectorant, and respiratory anti-inflammatory”; used for the relief of head colds, rheumatism, muscular pain (in the form of liniments), and as expectorant in cases of bronchitis, added to cough syrups.” (Webb)Eucalyptus is one of the most widely recognized and used essential oils in the world, often employed in respiratory blends and insect repellants, especially when combined with synergistic oils. It can be used externally combined with other therapies for urinary tract disorders. It is antiviral and antibacterial and useful in bath blends for cold and flu. Eucalyptus Yandee’s unique aroma profile, offering a fresh green apple and green grass aroma, is pleasing and offers an aromatic ‘twist’ for formulators wanting the natural efficacy of eucalyptus. https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_EuL.pdf

It has a history of use by the indigenous population; the Maori tribe used it for wounds, cuts, sores and skin diseases. Manuka honey has legendary therapeutic properties; especially researched for immunity, wound healing and resistant ulcerations.Manuka oil is useful for its analgesic, antibacterial (especially and exceedingly so for gram negative bacteria), antifungal, anti-inflammatory, deodorant, expectorant, immune tonic, insecticidal and sedative properties. Though the gram positive antibacterial properties are slightly lower for this oil than for Tea Tree, it more than compensates with a more pleasing fragrance profile while maintaining many similar uses. It treats most skin disorders including ringworm, athlete’s foot, acne, ulcers, wounds, cuts and abrasions. It is good for bites and stings and has the ability to reduce irritation and promote wound healing. Manuka oil is recommended for muscle aches, arthritic discomfort and pain. It benefits all disorders of the respiratory system including cough, and cold and flu mediation. It is especially suited to sensitive individuals who present with digestive disorders or sensitive skin conditions. It is said to balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. There are over 30 studies in PubMed on this botanical species, much focused on the immune-stimulant and antibacterial properties of the honey, including its efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus. The use of the essential oil has also been studied in vitro against herpes simplex I and II with effective results. https://www.downunderenterprises.com/hubfs/Tech%20Docs/MONOGRAPHS/Monograph_LS.pdf
