Interested in Kunzea Essential Oil?

Native to Northern Tasmania, traditional uses of Kunzea (Kunzea ambigua) include treatments of ticks, mites, and other insects.

Its common name in Tasmania is Tick Bush.

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.  This relaxing essential oil is reported to reduce stress and mild anxiety or depression.

Microbial testing showed effective activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, and Candida albicans. A research paper from the UK reported insecticidal activity comparable to natural pyrethrum extract.
