Manuka Honey is gaining in popularity today. Unfortunately, it’s expensive. Really expensive. This DIY Manuka Honey Recipe is a homemade alternative I use and enjoy.
Properties of Manuka Essential Oil
Steam distilled from the leaves and stems of the plant, Manuka oil has a woodsy, slightly sweet scent. Manuka essential oil can be compared to Tea Tree essential oil, as Manuka oil benefits the skin in a similar way.
