Top tips for using Kunzea oil

We're often asked how to use 100% Kunzea oil. Here are just a few of our tips...
In a diffuser:

• Most people use the Kunzea oil in a diffuser. These are available from many department stores, pharmacy/gift stores and online. 
• Using the Kunzea oil in a diffuser will give the room a beautiful aroma.
• This can also deodorise a space, support with relaxation and stress release, and assist with respiratory relief.
• It can be used at home or in the work place. Some aged care facilities and other clinics use it this way too.

Drops of oil:

• Kunzea oil drops can be put on the edge of your pillow, handkerchief, or other items.
• This can provide some respiratory relief and relaxation/stress release when trying to sleep and when unwell. (Just be careful to avoid contact with the eyes).
• Drops in a bath/foot bath can provide a beautiful soothing aroma and support relaxation and relief. 
• In shoes/boots, work socks or slippers, some drops of Kunzea can help deodorise, and has anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. 
• Add some drops into homemade cleaning products and sprays.
• Add some Kunzea oil to homemade topical products like body butters and massage oils. 

Some people use direct on the skin:

• It is not recommended to use pure Kunzea oil directly on the skin, and it's not usually necessary to use it this strong. 
• However Kunzea oil is non-toxic and for most people will not be irritating. Be cautious if you have sensitive skin.
• Those who choose to use it 'neat' have provided the following suggestions:
• Put a single drop on your finger tip and dab at the base of each nostril morning and night for sinus relief.
• You can do the same thing but dab it on your temples, forehead or around your jawline for anxiety/stress relief.
• Others apply it direct to small wounds, bruises and burns, to sore muscles and painful joints.
• In most cases, you don't need to use 100% oil - the amount of oil in our products is adequate, and within the recommended safe level for use on the skin.
