Kunzea

 Kunzea Ambigua-- Distilled from flowering branches,  is a tall shrub with abundant white or pink flowers, which grows in the coolest coastal areas of Australia (Southern New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania). 

Sometimes known as White Cloud, Tick Bush or Spring Flower Bush or Tasmanian Spring Flower initially "medicinal" in scent softens on dry-down to leave a subtly spicy note. The name "Tick Bush" comes from the habit of cattle and wild animals resting close to the tree because it seems to repel ticks.  

Tasmanian aromatherapists say that Kunzea is the most healing of the native Australian and New Zealand Essential Oils.  It is not a cheap oil and is a little harder to find.

It is non-irritating to most skin types, Dilute with a carrier oil or diffuse.
