NZ Country Manuka 100% Pure New Zealand Manuka Oil | Organic Essential Oil | 35x Stronger Than Tea Tree | Natural Skin Care | Toenails | Diffuser | Aromatherapy | Nails | Hair | Skin | Lips

Package was received very quickly. It was shipped with some other bottles in a box with paper so it arrived in safe condition. This is my first time trying Manuka oil. After researching extensively I settled for this one. I bought for the specific reason of toe nail fungus. The bottle comes with a security cap dropper lid. It's hard to open at first for obvious reasons. But you'll get the hang of it. I don't have any issues applying with the dropper. The smell is pretty strong and for some people it might be too strong. I was willing to do anything to combat this issue! So I jumped in without reading the instructions. Desperation makes us do stupid things! Learn from my mistake! Do not do this!! I sprinkled oil into my left hand and applied full strength to my toenails and cuticles and maybe a little around the rougher spots on my feet. No no no! Within 5 min.... I could taste menthol in my throat and my lungs deep were super clear before my nose ever was clear. In 10 minutes I thought I had swallowed a jar of VICKS! Oh my!!! So I washed my hands and rinsed off my feet. The intensity went away. My guess is I used too much PLUS ABSORPTION into the skin possible was my breathing issues. It's okay... you can laugh! But seriously don't do this. I downloaded the 20 page instruction booklet (it doesn't come with it) AFTER and no where does it say this could happen. So be careful! It also instructs to dilute w a carrier oil because it is so strong. So for now... this is what I am doing! The bottle comes with a glass dropper so this is what I use to apply it. Three drops on big toes and one on the others. Sit and wiggle toes so oil will run into sides. After five minutes put on socks. (I do not touch with my hands) I suppose you could wear gloves. I don't have any right now. Using oil 3-4 times a week (every other day) full strength. I swear they look better!! Wishful thinking maybe but my daughter agrees with me. I will update with pictures as we progress. I plan to buy more asap cause a little goes a long way and it's working!! Almost a month in and one of the toe nails peeled off in layers. Now I can treat the bed... and scrape away the dead stuff! Yes this is awful to talk about and very embarrassing but if I can help someone I will. I have searched so long for medication that works!! Update: I see improvements every week! Very pleased! Update: 34 days in! My nails on both big toes fell off. (They were really bad) This is a good thing because oil can really get to the source of the problem. The other toes appear to be clear of yellow or discoloration. No the oil does not burn.. no discomfort at all but the smell is strong. I soak my toes once week scraping away anything that doesn't belong... dry and apply. I also apply at least one more time a week sometimes two for a total of 3 treatments a week. (The reason for inconsistentancy right now is we have no power due to a tornado dropping a tree on our home) I ordered a new bottle of Manuka oil- as can be used for so many things! Shingles/ bug bites/ scalp issues and Psoriasis. And many many more. I pray I never have to be without this!

Our family is plagued with skin issues. As a mom, I grew up with sensitive skin, rashes, hives, and acne. I've even been blessed enough to obtain a nasty toe fungus after a shady pedicure. Our son was born with eczema and continues to fight the battle of itchy, sensitive, infected skin. Our tween daughter (who is hormonally challenged) has been battling mysterious facial bumps and rashes for the past 2 years and our dermatologist has been unable to prescribe anything that helps. I'm not one of those mom who solely believes in natural, non-prescription products. I'm a level headed, experienced, mom who has seen benefits from both the herbal/natural and western medicinal sides. When making a purchase decision for my children's skin, it typically comes down to three issues: side effects, safety, and efficacy. After reading rave reviews about this product and researching its safety and natural ingredients, I decided to pull the trigger. The three of us are using Manuka oil for different reasons. It's trial use on my son's eczema/wounds and on my toenail fungus is still ongoing and I will be sure to report back and update this review once sufficient time has passed to determine it's effectiveness. Fortunately (I scream with excitement), we've already seen immediate, positive results on my daughter's skin, so I felt compelled to share this review in hopes that it helps others with similar issues. Our daughter (who is now 12) began getting small whitish/red bumps pop on on her skin around her nose, mouth and chin area about 2 years ago. It was extremely embarrassing for her as it made her skin red, itchy, and noticeable to peers. (This is horrific for a female tween.) In desperation, I tried everything: prescription dermatologist-recommended ointment (Protopic), tea tree oil, coconut oil, anti-fungal prescription medication (Nystatin), hypoallergenic lotions, creams, and antibiotic ointment. We saw a slight improvement with tea tree oil and protonic for a few days, but nothing else really helped. The rash would come and go causing much stress and humiliation. I won't lie....my daughter HATES the smell of Manuka oil. She loves the smell of tea tree oil. They are two entirely different products. While I don't mind the smell of either, she literally won't put the oil on her finger to apply it to her face. It makes her nauseous. Being the loving, controlling mother that I am, I did it for her. I love that it has a dropper applicator. We've used other oils that require shaking and it wastes too much oil. For the first week, we applied the oil in a thin layer around her nose, mouth, and chin, twice daily. Within a day of use, it began drying out the rash and leaving peeling skin behind. It took the red out almost immediately but the white, dead skin it left behind caused further embarrassment. We supplemented with another product found on Amazon that also includes Manuka oil in lotion form (Honeyskin). It helped to hide and moisten the dry skin through it's stages. Within a few days, the dry skin began to slough off and beautiful, clear skin could be seen underneath. If we missed a day in treatment, the bumps would begin to show through again. I can't stress enough to be consistent with use, especially during the first week. Within one week's time, we knew the product was 100% effective. It took about 2 full weeks for the rash to disappear completely. I still encourage (with force) my daughter to use this oil every night after she washes her face with a mild cleanser. She still doesn't like the smell, but recognizes and appreciates it's effectiveness. She uses the honey skin lotion to minimize dryness. This Manuka oil has made a huge difference in her facial appearance and self esteem. Very few products we've tried have worked this quickly with minimal side effects. I would say the only real side effect we encountered was very dry, peeling skin. Be sure you have a good lotion to counter this healing process because the oil isn't enough. If you happen to travel with the product, I'd recommend double bagging it as it does leak and you don't want this smell in your suitcase. I highly recommend the use of this product for Tweens and teenagers facing hormonal changes. We love our dermatologist, but he really missed the boat on diagnosis and treatment of this issue. Had it truly been eczema, we would have seen improvement from the medicine he prescribed that works wonders on our son with eczema. I feel this was truly hormonal and likely would have developed into acne. I've attached before and after photos of my daughter's skin problem. Take it from an exhausted mom who spends 100% of her time and salary on skin care products. This one is worth a place in your medicine cabinet.

I didn’t expect to love this as much as I do. The scent is strong but clean, and you can tell it’s high quality right away. I’ve been using it for small skin irritations and even adding a drop to my routine, and it feels really soothing and effective. A little goes a long way, which makes it totally worth it.

I purchased the Manuka Oil from Hill Country Manuka after a lot of research. I have heard a lot about Manuka Oil and how amazing this essential oil is for treating virtually any skin problem. I know that there are many different retailers of this product on Amazon, so I really wanted to choose wisely. I love the fact that Hill Country Manuka retail 100% pure Manuka Oil and it comes from the East Cape Region of New Zealand which is the best source of this oil, based on all the research I have done. I know that a lot of reviewers have talked about this oil smelling bad, so I was expecting not to like the scent. While I agree that it is strong smelling, I actually think that the aroma isn’t too bad and it does dissipate quickly. You can also blend it together with other oils to alter the smell too if you like. I brought this Manuka Oil for a whole range of reasons. I have two young boys who are always getting their knees scraped or some other minor cut or abrasion. I wanted to use a natural antiseptic that I knew would treat these problems. Manuka Oil has anti-microbial properties, so it can kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi rapidly. I know that when I apply this oil on any cut or abrasion it will get rid of any nasty microbes. Personally I use Manuka Oil for psoriasis, especially around my elbows. It helps to reduce the inflammation and it seems to help minimize any flare-ups. I have also had success using this oil on blemishes on my face, as well as reducing the appearance of stretch-marks. I have noticed a couple of skin tags on my neck, which I’m about to tackle next with Manuka Oil. My husband has started using Manuka Oil to treat his tinea. Although it’s only early days he has noticed a massive improvement and the infection seems to be going away quickly. He has tried all the over-the-counter creams previously and none of them have been effective. Manuka Oil seems to be doing the trick and he is very impressed with it. I have to say, I’m very impressed by the customer service I have received from Hill Country Manuka. I have contacted them with a few questions about the product and they have been quick to respond, and very helpful. Also, I live in Australia and I was amazed at how quickly the product was shipped to me! Some people have mentioned that the bottle is small. Yes, it is, but this is so concentrated that you only need a drop to treat a whole area. I really think this is excellent value for money. The eBook you get with the purchase is also a great bonus and it’s full of great information. If you’re looking for an all-round natural product that your whole family can use to remedy a wide range of skin aliments and other health concerns, I highly recommend that you try this Manuka Oil! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Manuka Oil 100 Natural Anti-Fungal, Antiseptic, Fights Acne, Foot Fungus, Skin, Staph Infections 10x Power of Tea Tree Oil.

7/2017 update on bottom. In June 2016 I had a problem. I had been showering after someone who has foot fungus and it was obvious I had become infected. Gross. So gross. And if you read up on it basically sounds like herpes and good luggage- you have it for life. Oh- unless you want to deal with a lil'bit of possible liver damage then you can take an oral medicine that probably will cure it. Scary and no thanks. So I did a lot of reading on what people claim to have cured their toenail fungus. Vicks vapor rub, manuka oil and tea tree seemed to be the top 3 weapons of choice; however, I am a seeing-is-believing kind of person and I didn't see a lot of picture proof. *I did see a lot of feet. And not healthy ones. So I went to Amazon to read reviews on all three of the products and I began to see some picture proof under manuka oil. Sold. Once I received the product, I began placing 1-2 drops of oil onto a q-tip then placing the oil on each toenail and making sure some ran down under the nail. I did this every morning and every night for 3 months straight. I am terrible about beginning new regimens and sticking with them but I did it. I did it because no way was I going to live with nail fungus. I like sandals, barefeet, walks on the beach ... so I was committed and I think that is the key --> daily application twice a day. Describing the smell is difficult. I have never smelled anything like it before. To me tea tree oil is strong/pungent/sharp and is medicinal in scent but semi-pleasant. Manuka oil, in my opinion, is a cross between eucalyptus and dirty clothes - a heavy, complex smell; not one you would leave a room for but one you wouldn't draw closer to in order to get another whiff. It is like smelling 2 conflicting scents at the same time. That being said smell did not turn me off from using it, and yes I was gung ho about using it but I also ended up using this product on my face and scalp. After about a month of use I could already tell my toenails were improving - but I knew they would also have to grow out in order to see real results. So I kept at it 2 more months then I dropped back to using it just at night but only because I have 3 kids- so I had too much other stuff to think about once school started. I continued to see improvement. Around month 4 we moved to a new home (goodbye contageous offender!) and my routines were demolished. I began applying the oil maybe once a week. But I bought Purely Northwest Anti-Fungal foot and body wash and using it in each shower. I apply the gel to a toothbrush and clean each toenail. It tingles. I believe it also works to help control the fungus. I purchased a second bottle of this product in August because I wanted to see if it would help some seborrhoric dermatitis that had now appeared near my eyebrow and nose. Fun times. So I got a seperate bottle just because I didn't want to use the same bottle as I was using for my feet. I began applying manuka oil at night on the affected areas and it cleared up in under 2 weeks. I have kept it at bay by applying the oil maybe once a week and so far so good. I don't write many reviews but I wanted to add my seeing-is-believing photo for the next person who wants to see results. I am writing this about 6 months to the day from when I began applying the oil. See photo for before and after (before on bottom, after on top). Awesome, right?! (*feet are so unattractive and mine are no exception) (**I had surgery as a child to remove an ingrown toenail so my nail is oddly shaped) I am very pleased with this product and will continue to use it on my toes, face, and whatever else gets infected down the line. Update 7/2017- I've attached an updated photo of my toes. No sign of infection and the damaged area has completely grown out, I think. The nails look much more like they used to. Very pleased with this product and the results. I continue to use the manuka oil for breakouts, dandruff, bug bites, etc.

The oil appears to be of good quality, but it's a small bottle and the the plastic dropper at the top takes forever to release a drop. It is not the squeeze dropper as shown. Twice the plastic dropper allowed numerous drops to come out at once and now I have lost about 1/3 of the bottle.

This product has made an AMAZING difference in my skin! I turned 50 in November, but I've had acne since I was a teen. Coupled with the onset of pre-menopause, my hormones were wreaking havoc on my skin. To try and arrest the situation, I began a 12-week course (6 sessions, every other week) of microdermabrasion treatments. I started on June 24. I should also mention that in February this year, I developed a horrible-looking rash/fungal infection on my chin, which had spread to about 4-5 inches in width and very noticeable because it was about 4 shades darker than my honey-colored skin. Yuck! The woman at the spa wouldn't even touch it on my first visit. (I foolishly thought she could just microderm away the hardened, scaly thing away.) She advised me to use something called Tend Skin until it disappeared. So I went home and found Tend Skin online, but I did not order it. Instead, something called Manuka oil popped up. Because I have oily skin (even now at 50!), I am verrrrry hesitant about adding ANY type of oil on my face, but after reading the customer testimonials, I decided I had absolutely nothing to lose. I ordered it July 1 for overnight delivery. When it arrived (July 2), I used it that very day when I came home from work. The next morning, I was AMAZED: I could see a tangible difference in my skin! What's more, at my next microdermabrasion session on July 10, the woman asked me what I'd been doing since my last visit. She was astonished at the difference in my skin - particularly that rash! I showed her the Manuka oil. She examined the ingredients, told me they were safe, and that I should keep using it. I went back last week, July 24, and she was almost speechless because the rash was approx. 90% improved - so much so that she could now microderm the area. As of July 30, that nasty rash is about 99% G O N E! You can't even tell where it was! (I say 99% because I can see the 1% - but no one else can). And I know it's because of Manuka Oil. This product has given me back my confidence and my social life. There were weekends that I would refuse dates and not leave the house because I was so embarrassed by this rash on my face. And going to work was heartbreaking for me. As an Executive Assistant, I have to interface with C-level people all day long. Thank God no one was ever cruel enough to ask "what's that on your chin?" even when I could see people staring at it. And no amount of makeup would cover it. Now I don't even have to wear makeup on the weekends - unless I'm going out socially. In fact, last weekend, I went out to run errands in only mascara, lip gloss and a sweep of powder (for my oily skin). That's it - nothing else! :-) Manuka Oil has saved my skin. The tone/color is so much better, and my acne is completely under control. Some mornings, I just stare at my face in the mirror. I'm completely in awe that this product has worked so well for me. It's actually given me back my life. I ordered a second bottle and received it today (August 1). I don't know what kind of magic is in Manuka Oil, but I do know that it's a product I will never EVER be without again! I've read tons of false testimonials on this site, so in the interest of full disclosure I want to state that this company NEVER GAVE ME ANYTHING! I found this product on my own, and every word of this review is ABSOLUTELY TRUE! I thank God I found this product, and God bless Manuka Naturals for selling such a wonderful product that very literally saved my skin and gave me back my confidence!

Miracle product! I am a huge fan of tea tree oil and all of it's many uses. But I contracted a nail fungus about a year ago that just would not go away. I have tried both topical anti fungals and holistic remedies to no avail. I originally purchased this product because my boyfriend has had TERRIBLE cystic acne on his back. He has tried everything available and nothing would clear it and he was at his witts end. Upon my search for other antifungal treatments I came across this and read about it being great for people with rashes and acne. I purchased it and we immediately started applying it to his back. Now I wish we had taken a picture of his back because after just a months use he back is COMPLETELY clear. Now during this process, I was the one applying it to his back so my hands were getting saturated in the product as well. I can say that my nail fungus has gotten significantly better. It is still there, but healthy nail is starting to grow out again. Now if you read, it does take several months to a year for nail fungus to clear. So this is not something that will rid you of your ailement overnight. But We are on our THIRD bottle and we are obsessed with this product. My only complaints is that the scent can be a little overwhelming (woodsy). It doesn't smell like chemicals, just like the outdoors and that it does not come in a bigger bottle. My boyfriend also has acne on his butt, so we have started applying it there as well and in just a week all of the redness has gone away and started to heal.

Excellent quality! I'm very happy with my Manuka essential oil from this vendor. I had been hopeful that it would be the real deal when I saw that Manuka essential oil is all that this vendor sells on Amazon, and I was right. The quality is outstanding. It's a little more expensive than some offered by competitors on Amazon, but is well worth the extra money. I bought it to combat a toenail fungal infection and it seems to be working. It also heals any small cuts, insect bites and blemishes really well, and very, very quickly. I'm on my second bottle, and strongly recommend buying some. It's an excellent addition to any household or travel first aid kit. 👍

Very good quality oil, very pure exactly as described.

MIRACLE OIL!!! The only product that 100% entirely vanished my acne. I tried everything including tea tree oil (tea tree worsened my acne and I waited a few months before stopping) but nothing ever worked. They say your acne will get worse before it gets better which is true because the first 2 weeks it was like the oil was getting rid of all the bacteria. I wouldnt be alarmed by this because it didn't get much worse that others would notice. I noticed because I stare at my face in a 20x zoom mirror. After that it's been like heaven in a bottle. I just reordered after 3 months of heavily using this oil. Wanted to reorder before I ran out. Not only did it help my acne but my face is so smooth. The look and feel of my face has changed entirely. I don't need to exfoliate much it's rids dead skin that normally just stays on your face. The smell is strong and not great smelling but you must dilute it anyhow. I sometimes mix it in my face wash but I religiously use it daily mixed with my toner of serum. Both of scents of their own so it decreases the oil scent. I don't even smell it on me anymore but when you open the bottle the scent is definitely present

I use the oil and my gum responses so good no bleeding gum. It is wonderful product.

Perfect
