How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
– Psalm 119:103
By now you have probabluy heard about the incredible immune benefits of honey made by the New Zealand bees that gather their pollen from the beautiful Manuka tree, but did you know you can get those same benefits and more (because of the versatility of application) in Manuka Essential Oil? You can!
This gorgeous Emerald Manuka is the one I reach for (along with Fortress) to fight any sign of illness. It's fantastic for making home cleaning solution, diffusing to help fight airborn/seasonal illnesses, making slave for wounds and burns, or even adding to your shampoo to help fight dandruff.
It's also clearing and calming so would be wonderful to keep on a passive diffuser to breathe and pray in Yesha before big tests, meetings, decision, etc.
Methods of Use
Aromatherapy: The use of natural, aromatic substances, known as essential oils, have been proven to directly connect to the amygdala and the lymbic system in the brain where the seat of emotions is, as well as enter the blood stream just through smelling, offering mental, emotional and physical healing support. Our Creater YAHWEH is amazing in all His ways!

Quickly and evenly spread the essential oil over your legs, arms, and torso. Avoid sensitive skin areas.
