What is White Kunzea Oil?

Kunzea ambigua, commonly known as white kunzea, poverty bush or tick bush, is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is found mainly on sandstone soils in eastern Australia. Kunzea ambigua was traditionally used by Australian Aboriginal communities to relieve irritated skin, muscle tightness and pain. Kunzea essential oil is now registered with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) as providing temporary relief of the pain of arthritis. Kunzea ambigua has since been used as the active ingredient in topical products for relieving muscles, joints and inflammation.
