Description: Kunzea Essential Oil 5 mL 100% Pure, Therapeutic Grade 100% PURE KUNZEA ESSENTIAL OIL: Steam distilled from the flowering branches and leaves of the Kunzea plant to produce a high-quality essential oil with absolutely no additives or fillers. GC/MS - COA: Every bottle of oil that you purchase from G'Day Oils will include the GC/MS report or a COA report by a third party laboratory. Kunzea Essential Oil is one of the more exciting, yet lesser-known oils derived from native Australian plants. This oil is steam-distilled from the kunzea ambigua shrub that grows wild in Tasmania and Australia's Eastern Coast. Kunzea has a woody, medicinal scent, which comes from its high level of alpha-pinene. Known for its rejuvenating properties, Kunzea has been used to ease sore muscles from everyday use to overexertion. I personally use Kunzea oil on my knees to help with stiffness and mobility. This oil is gentle enough for irritated skin, but strong enough to help with facial blemishes. Kunzea has a relaxing aroma that is perfect to diffuse or inhale to help ease your worries and create an atmosphere that is soothing to the soul. It has also helped people who suffer from gout and other issues of inflammation. I use only the darkest amber bottles available which helps in keep the sunlight from affecting the oil. I also only sell 5ml bottles to help reduce the effects of oxygenation when the bottle get close to empty. 15ml or 30ml bottles have a lot of air in the bottle as the oil is used, which can lead to oxidation of the oil. A 5ml bottle has less air as the oil is used. I also use inexpensive labels to keep the cost down, after all, you are buying the oil, not the label. All of my oils are sourced from a company in Australia with over 20 years of growing, harvesting and distilling experience. I have been in the essential oil industry over 5 years and just started focusing on Essential Oils from down-under. I have half a dozen different Australian based oils I will be offering and will be adding more as supply allows. If multiple bottle purchases, then I can give discounts. Kunzea (Kunzea Ambigua) – Kunzea is an essential oil derived from the terminal branches of Kunzea ambigua (Myrtaceae family), from sustainable wild-growing plants in North-East Tasmania.Kunzea ambigua, also known as "White cloud" or "White kunzea", is a tall shrub, up to four feet in height, with abundant white or pink flowers and is native to the coolest coastal areas of Australia (Southern New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania). It grows profusely in the wild especially in Tasmania and the Bass Strait islands. Native animals are said to be often found sleeping under Kunzea plants, where they seek relief from ticks and other parasites - hence its popular name of "tick bush". Kunzea is closely related to the genus Callistemon (the bottlebrushes) and also bears some similarity to Melaleuca and Leptospermum. There are about 40 species occurring in all states and territories of Australia. One species also occurs in New Zealand - Kunzea ericiodes, with the common name of Kanuka. Kunzea is generally harvested as a small shrub with a forage harvester for distillation. Kunzea essential oil has a unique composition, with a high content of important sesquiterpene compounds. A typical analysis with major components follows: Alpha-pinene 52% - 1,8 cineole 12% - Alpha-terpineol 2% - Bicyclogermacrene 4.4% - Globulol 7.6% - Viridiflorol 6.8% < 1% of linalool, terpinene-4-ol, citronellol, allo-aromadendrene, beta-caryophyllene, ledol and spathulenol. The most beneficial variety are from wild stocks in Tasmania. Over recent years, a good number of anecdotal reports have been reported relative to the therapeutic benefits of Kunzea essential oil in a variety of common complaints. This has led to Kunzea oil having been listed with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration for the following approved therapeutic claims: For the temporary relief of the pain of arthritis and rheumatism; relief of the symptoms of influenza; relief of muscular aches and pains; helps relieve nervous tension, stress and mild anxiety. Dr. Daniel Pénoël, a renowned French physician who specializes in the therapeutic use of essential oils, gives high praise for Kunzea essential oil. Dr. Pénoël points out that in terms of composition, Kunzea contains a large amount of -pinene in comparison to 1,8 cineole, which is relatively rare in plants of the Myrtaceae family. Most importantly in Kunzea, there are five different sesquiterpene compounds, which is quite unusual: globulol, viridiflorol, spathulenol, ledol and bicyclogermacrene. Such sesquiterpene compounds are being seen as important, especially whenever inflammatory reactions need to be curbed and moderated (but not negatively suppressed). Dr. Pénoël has used Kunzea oil with some patients both topically and through ingestion of small amounts in helping to reduce inflammatory responses in cases of Crohn's disease and the after-effects of radiotherapy treatments with good results. There are further potential therapeutic indications for Kunzea essential oil. Various case histories and anecdotal reports suggest a variety of uses. Kunzea is reported to have good pain-relieving properties, useful for muscular, tendon and joint injuries. In this case, Kunzea can be used by itself or used in combination with essential oils such as Rosemary (camphor-type), Basil (methyl chavicol-type) and Peppermint. Kunzea has also shown results in relieving the pain of headaches and insect bites, such as from mosquitoes and spiders. It can be suggested to use a combination of equal amounts of Kunzea and Peppermint oil for these conditions. Kunzea by itself or perhaps combined with True Lavender oil, can be useful for application to small wounds and minor burns. There have been some good results in Kunzea helping to relieve the intense pain of gout, where uric acid deposits (especially in joints of the toes) cause intense inflammation. In this case, Kunzea oil has been applied neat a number of times per day to the affected joints. A number of users have reported developing a healing rash, with uric acid being excreted through the skin. The Kunzea oil helps to control any itching of the rash. If Kunzea oil is applied to the area after the trauma and before bruising has started or has only just begun, the development of the bruise can be prevented. Another excellent oil to prevent and relieve bruising is that of Italian Everlasting (Helichrysm italicum). Kunzea or both oils can be added at a 10% or higher concentration to Arnica infused oil (Arnica montana flowers infused in vegetable oil) and perhaps Calophyllum oil (Calophyllum inophyllum). Both of these vegetable oils very useful in breaking up the leaked blood that causes the discoloration seen in bruises and sprains and speeds healing. Kunzea oil has had positive results in the treatment of rashes, skin irritations, eczema and acne. Kunzea oil has been found to be non-irritant and generally is well tolerated even when used undiluted on the skin. However, in the case of eczema and allergic dermatitis, it is always recommended to test a small amount of any essential oil, as skin sensitivity is always a possibility in these conditions. This can be from a 1% to 10% concentration of an essential oil in a base (vegetable oil is fine) for this purpose. With eczema and other skin irritations, I would recommend combining Kunzea with essential oils and extracts such as German Chamomile, Calendula carbon dioxide extract and Australian Sandalwood (Santalum spicatum). Kunzea, with its high content of apha-pinene and some 1,8 cineole, is useful in inhalations for relieving congestion in sinus and respiratory complaints. Kunzea can be combined with oils such as Australian Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata) and Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) to both address congestion and any infection present. Kunzea oil has been tested for its effectiveness against a number of disease-causing bacteria. Kunzea is particularly effective against Staphylococcus aureus, including the MRSA variety (multiple antibiotic resistant), in a tested concentration as low as 0.16%. Kunzea oil holds promise in alleviating the pain and inflammation whenever multiple intravenous injections are required. Dr. Lane used undiluted Kunzea oil. Another option would be the use of Kunzea at a 50% concentration in 50% vegetable oil, especially Calendula Infused oil, well known for its anti-inflammatory effects. Safety considerations: The overall composition of Kunzea oil, with a low content of 1,8 cineole, sees it as a safe, non-toxic essential oil for general use. There is no contraindication for the use of Kunzea oil during pregnancy at common dosages. It is well tolerated on the skin, even with undiluted use. As with all essential oils, keep out of reach of children and consider testing a small amount on the skin first with those with eczema and other skin sensitivities. In summary, Kunzea is a new and unique essential oil that shows much promise, particularly in the areas of relieving pain and inflammation.
