Antibacterial
Manuka essential oil is distinguished by its powerful antibacterial effect, attributed primarily to leptospermon and flavesone. This antibacterial action is particularly effective against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus faecalis, as well as against Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. According to some sources, its antibacterial potency is up to 20 times greater than that of tea tree essential oil.
Antifungal
Thanks to its composition of leptospermone and flavesone, Manuka essential oil exhibits strong antifungal activity. It is effective against various pathogenic fungi such as Candida albicans, Tricophyton rubrum, Aspergillus niger, Microsporum canis, and Mentagrophytes.
Antiviral
The triketones present in Manuka essential oil also give it significant antiviral properties. It can therefore help relieve certain respiratory tract infections, particularly ENT infections.

Our advice and expert opinions from pharmacists
Native to New Zealand, the manuka is a shrub that can grow up to three meters tall and thrive at altitudes of up to 1,400 meters. It blooms for about 6 weeks, covered in highly fragrant, nectar-rich white flowers. A cousin of the tea tree, the manuka is a highly resilient plant, capable of withstanding both drought and frost. It is considered one of the most valuable pioneer plants, capable of helping devastated land or areas that have suffered severe deforestation to regenerate new vegetation: the manuka protects the young shoots of all other species.
