Tairawhiti (East Cape) Manuka Oil is a complex mixture of some 120 natural compounds. We have found many of the benefits this oil has to offer but we are sure their are many more as yet unknown.

The Research we have conducted to date has focussed on the antibacterial and antifungal effect of the Oil and this is the most documented.

Practical use and anecdotal reports show that formulations containing this Manuka Oil can be very effective against foot problems such as athletes foot, foot odour, cracked heels and nail bed infections.

Use of Manuka oil as a topical spot treatment, together with a regularly used Manuka Oil soap or face lotion/cleanser can be very beneficial in the control of teenage or adult onset acne.

We have had reported success in the treatment of thrush with Manuka Oil formulations and also from bacterial infections such as impetigo.

These effects are all consistent with the results of the laboratory tests which showed that strains of staphyloccocus (including MRSA-methycillin resistant SA), streptococcus bacteria and fungii such as trichophyton mentagrophytes and microsporum canis are very susceptible to Tairawhiti Manuka Oil, as was the yeast Candida Albicans.

Letters and reports that we receive show that Tairawhiti Manuka Oil can also be an effective antihistamine - rapidly removing the itchiness, irritation and sting from insect bites, stings and from skin reactions due to contact with stinging plants such as nettle.

We have people who write to us to tell us our Manuka Oil cream is a calming cream - it helps reduce the imflamation and irritation particularly with itchy irritated skin conditions. This also makes it effective in shampoos for itchy scalp conditions.

Some aromatherapists believe that although the effectiveness of Manuka Oil as a bacteriacide and fungicide is dramatic- Tairawhiti Manuka Oil has another side to it.

A leading German Aromatherapist reports on the sensual, “feel good” side of Manuka Oil, stating it to be beneficial for people with over sensitive nervous systems and those who suffer from stress and anxiety. Conditions which often manifest themselves in allergic reactions. She states Manuka Oil can serve as a protection oil, stabilizing and protecting the nerves, balancing the moods and giving calming and solidity.

Tairawhiti Manuka Oil, although steeped in tradition and history, is an Oil of the modern world.

She states that “Manuka Oil” is very effective for many skin problems. It strengthens the psyche and at the same time stabilizes the skin, it makes it more resistant, because it is relaxing for the skin nerves as well as cell activating and regenerating for the outer skin layers. The skin doesn’t overeact constantly, - it doesn’t come out in a rash so fast. Therefore Manuka is helpful for sensitive skin, especially itching, acne, badly healing skin, inclination to fungal infections, ulcers, bedsores and infections.
