Description
Kunzea Essential Oil
Kunzea essential oil is probably Australia’s next essential oil wonder.
Our Kunzea essential oil has many remarkable properties.
Its properties have been highly mentioned and promoted by world renown aromatherapist Dr Daniel Peneol.
Kunzea is great for irritated red spots on the skin, is a known antiseptic, and it is fantastic for tired joints and muscles.
Unlike the strong medicinal scent of Tea Tree oil, the aroma of Kunzea is very pleasant and it’s often described as symbolising ‘the smell of the Australian bush’!

Natural Occurrence in Australia
Kunzea flowering
Naturally occurring in the woodland of eastern Tasmania, southern Victoria and south east New South Wales. The tree requires reasonable and regular rainfall to flourish.
The kunzea ambigua plant grows to around 5 metres tall and can be found growing in clusters or groups. Kunzea actually benefits from regular pruning, otherwise it tends to become quite gangly.
Harvesting of Kunzea for the production of essential oil has been carried out for nearly 20 years. A superior variety is farmed in north east Tasmania by the wild harvesting of an extensive population of plants.
Kunzea Essential Oil Characteristics
Clear to very pale yellow in colour; watery consistency; fresh aroma with a mild spicy undertone that is not too intense.
Extraction and Farming Method
The tree grows wildly and abundantly in the wild in north east Tasmania, as well as eastern Victoria and south east New South Wales.
The Kunzea plants are sometimes naturally ‘pruned’ by grazing animals and do not require any fertilisers.
Kunzea is hand harvested and are then steam distilled immediately to maintain quality Kunzea essential oil.
History
Traditional
There are currently no recorded stories of indigenous people using Kunzea at present, but it is almost certain the indigenous people would have used the plant.
Early European Usage
The early settlers noticed native animals always use to sleep under a Kunzea shrub. It was later established that the reason why native animals slept under the bush was to rid themselves of ticks. As a result settlers called the plant ‘Tick Bush’.
Like many native Australian plants with an abundance of essential oils, the plant is not often attacked by many insects because the oil in the leaf is quite unpalatable to most insects and native animals.
Present Day Usage
Each harvest of Kunzea essential oil is tested for quality and stored at an optimum temperature to preserve the unique qualities of this oil.
It is commonly used to treat anxiety and stress, aids in relaxation.

Not crazy about the smell but it works wonderfully on aching muscles and feels very grounding applied to lower back.
Michelle McCarthy (verified owner) –
I adore this essential oil, it really is something special. I just made my first batch of cold-pressed soap using it (which turned out amazing), and I also use kunzea regularly in an oil warmer. It’s a beautiful scent to have going in the winter and cooler months. All of the essential oils I have ordered from this company have been exceptional and I love supporting this small business.

Hi Michelle, very impressive idea to use the Kunzea oil in a soap, would be very relaxing and calming we think, best wishes, look forward to hearing from you again!

I have incorporated Kunzea Essential Oil into my “Mental Wellness” blend which gives it another dynamic. Also I have created a blend that I call “Anxiety 4 Males” as the oils I used are of a masculine nature which males would be more likely to use.
