Unlocking the Power of dōTERRA Manuka Essential Oil

What is Manuka Essential Oil?

dōTERRA’s Manuka essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and twigs of the Manuka tree, *Leptospermum scoparium*, native to New Zealand and parts of Australia. Known for its calming, soothing, and purifying properties, Manuka oil has even stronger antimicrobial and skin-healing abilities compared to other oils like Tea Tree, making it a powerful addition to your wellness routine.

Benefits of dōTERRA Manuka Essential Oil

1. Supports Healthy Skin

Manuka essential oil is known for its ability to support skin health, reduce irritation, and calm inflammation. It helps soothe sensitive skin, promote healing of cuts and wounds, and calm conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Dilute with a carrier oil and apply directly to areas of concern for the best results.

2. Promotes a Healthy Immune System

Manuka essential oil has strong antimicrobial and antiseptic properties, making it ideal for boosting the immune system. It can be used aromatically or topically to fight off harmful bacteria and viruses, especially during cold and flu season, promoting overall wellness.

3. Calming and Soothing Properties

The grounding, earthy scent of Manuka oil is perfect for relaxation and stress relief. Diffusing the oil or applying it to pulse points can help calm the mind, reduce feelings of anxiety, and create a peaceful atmosphere, making it great for meditation or sleep routines.

4. Supports Respiratory Health

Manuka oil is effective in supporting the respiratory system. Like Eucalyptus and Tea Tree, it can help clear airways and ease breathing. Diffuse it to promote easier breathing during seasonal changes, or apply diluted oil to the chest to reduce congestion and support lung function.

5. Natural Antimicrobial and Antiseptic

With its powerful antimicrobial properties, Manuka oil can be used for cleaning and disinfecting. It can purify the air, neutralize harmful bacteria, and support the healing of minor cuts, scrapes, and insect bites, making it a versatile addition to your first aid kit.

How to Use dōTERRA Manuka Essential Oil

2. Aromatherapy

Diffuse Manuka oil in your home or workspace to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and create a soothing environment. Its calming aroma is perfect for meditation, sleep, or just winding down after a long day.

3. For Respiratory Health

Apply diluted Manuka oil to the chest or neck area to support respiratory function, clear airways, and reduce congestion. You can also diffuse it during seasonal changes to help maintain clear, comfortable breathing.

4. Cleaning and Disinfecting

Manuka oil’s antimicrobial properties make it an excellent natural cleaner. Add a few drops to your cleaning products or create your own all-purpose spray to disinfect surfaces and purify the air.
