Overview

Native to Northern Tasmania, traditional uses of Kunzea include treatment of ticks and other mites, insects, etc., hence the common name of Tick Bush.

The low percentage of cineole makes it skin friendly, however those with sensitive skin are advised to patch-test before use.
The chemical composition allows for deep and effective dermal penetration. 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. Other uses include as an insect repellent, a room deodorizer in a nursing home environment, inclusion on a topical bruise and inflammation preparation, for its effect in promoting repair of soft tissue injuries, such as strains and sprains and for the control of persistent tinea.” (Webb).
