Recently I wrote about the benefits of Kunzea oil specifically for treatment of pain and inflammation related to arthritis, neuralgia, sciatica, and shingles as well as muscle soreness. Since that article we have had received nothing but positive feedback on this product.

This week I want to write about the positive benefits of using Kunzea oil for treatment of various skin conditions including psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis.

Eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis are conditions which can cause dry, itchy, and inflamed skin and have been found to often respond well to anti-inflammatory creams. This is where Kunzea oil may be beneficial because of its anti-inflammatory properties.

The Kunzea Pain Relief Cream although being promoted to help with alleviating inflammation and pain related to arthritis, neuralgia, sciatic and shingles may also be beneficial in treating eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. This cream not only contains Kunzea Oil but also Tasmanian Lavender Oil and Rosemary Oil. Both Lavender Oil and Rosemary Oil are known to be excellent for treating inflammatory skin conditions. Kunzea Pain Relief cream is also enhanced with Vitamin E which also is known to soothe itchiness and redness of the skin reducing inflammation. Plus, it also acts as a great moisturiser – what a bonus!!

Eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis may also be more susceptible to inflammation when our skin becomes dry, rough and itchy. Sometimes hot showers can dry out our skin and it suggested lukewarm showers are more calming. Even more calming is a lukewarm bath with Kunzea Bath Salts dissolved in the bath water. These magnesium bath salts are thought to be effective in healing skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis. Soaking in magnesium salts is believed to enhance skin hydration as well as improve skin barrier function and reduce inflammation of our skin. Once again Tasmanian Lavender Oil plus Ylang Ylang Oil are included in the Kunzea Bath Salts and both of these oils are known for their anti-inflammatory properties helping to relieve skin irritations. Plus of course the Kunzea oil also contains these anti-inflammatory properties.

It may be also beneficial to apply the Original Kunzea Cream as a moisturiser as soon as possible after drying off after the bath. This is important because it is essential to lock in the moisture, to help keep the skin hydrated. The Original Kunzea Cream is a rich, fast absorbing cream which is great for hydrating and protecting the skin.

The Original Kunzea Cream is great as an all-round moisturiser and particularly at this time of the year when our skin seems to be really dry. It’s also good as an intensive hand cream for dry hands and may be suitable for acne prone skin.

The Kunzea Pain Relief Cream, because of its anti-inflammatory properties is also helpful in soothing insect bites. It helps reduce the redness and stop the itch.

So now you can see why Kunzea Oil is one of my new favourite products. This multipurpose product ticks so many boxes and of course it’s wonderful that it’s an Australian native and even better, the Zea Kunzea range is produced and made in Australia. Zea started out as a small family run business and now is a fast-growing company based in Tasmania.
