Someone brought this up on another forum, not many answers so I thought I would ask here.
The oil can be used as Inhaled, massaged in, ingested ect...
Just wondering what other people thought about it?
Manuka honey has heaps of health benefits, so just wondering about the oil.

"In the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry (Jan. 1990, v. 38), Molan, Wilkins and Holland researched the components responsible for the exceptionally high antibacterial activity of honey from Manuka flowers. They tested fractions of the honey for activity against staphylococcus aureus in particular, which is the bacteria that causes skin infections such as impetigo.
Perhaps most interesting with the current emergence of strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is that laboratory tests have indicated Manuka Oils effectiveness as a treatment against some antibiotic-resistant organisms.
Manuka oil has shown to be effectiveness in laboratory tests against 39 separate micro-organisms (listed below), in particular, streptococci and staphylococcal bacteria and fungi that affect the skin."
