5 ML KUNZEA - FREE WITH 250 PV ORDER
A native shrub that grows wild along the southern coasts of Australia and Tasmania, kunzea was used for centuries by native cultures. The kunzea plant, with its bulbous tops and whimsical blossoms, is commonly referred to as “White cloud.”
The extracted Kunzea essential oil has comparable properties and uses to Tea Tree oil but offers a more pleasant aroma and milder sensation when applied topically. It contains a high level of alpha-pinene and eucalyptol, so it works to help soothe fatigued muscles and reduce the appearance of blemishes. When diffused, it helps create a relaxing atmosphere and creates a refreshing respiratory experience.
HISTORICAL USES OF KUNZEA
Kunzea was traditionally used by Australian Aboriginal communities as a salve to relieve irritated skin, muscle tightness, and pain. It was observed that animals often sought shelter under the branches of the Kunzea plant, and it was thought to provide protection from ticks and mites, hence the common name“tick-bush” was soon adopted.

Tansy has a long history of use. It was first recorded as being cultivated by the ancient Greeks for medicinal purposes.

Tansy was used to treat intestinal worms, rheumatism, digestive problems, fevers, and sores.
During the Middle Ages and later tansy was used to help women conceive and to prevent miscarriages. In the 15th century, Christians began serving tansy with Lenten meals because it was thought to have the added Lenten benefits of controlling flatulence brought on by days of eating fish and pulses.
Tansy was used as a face wash and was reported to lighten and purify the skin. In the 19th century, Irish folklore suggested that bathing in a solution of tansy and salts would cure joint pain.
Today, tansy is still a component of some medicines and is listed by the United States Pharmacopeia as a treatment for fevers, feverish colds, and jaundice.
