Manuka for Sunday Scent experience

The flowers i bought on the market are manuka flowers - i am pretty sure since they have started to smell since i got them indoors.

Manuka oil is an Australian oil, its a relative of tea tree.
Its latin name is Leptospermum scoparium.
Like tea tree it has a very special effect on skin; especially skin that lost its capacity to hold its moists and oils, thus can get infected with bacteria or funghi.
For instance dandruff gets pretty well healed by washing your hair with a neutral shampoo through which you mix some drops of manuka oil.
And skin funghi, like petyriasis versicolor can be effectively fighted with this oil too - never use it in a base of olive oil because this yeast feeds on multiple unsatured oil, better to use coconut oil.

Manuka honey is well known for its immunity boosting capacity, but its a feast to the tast buds too: its a lovely tastful honey!
