A New Study On The Anti-Trichophyton Activity Of Manuka Oil Has Important Implications For Hair Loss

Medicine Hunter Describes What Manuka Oil Is

(LosAngeles.CityRegions.Com, May 03, 2015 ) Glendale, CA -- A recent study published in the Journal of Global Biosciences has placed the spotlight on Manuka Oil for the treatment of fungal infections that are associated with hair loss. In this study, researchers from the King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia studied the inhibitory activity of Manuka Oil in association with Trichophyton terrestre. This is a keratinophilic filamentous fungus with the ability to infect keratinized tissue. Since the bulk of the hair shaft is comprised of keratin, Trichiphyton infections can cause significant hair loss.

During this study, researchers used Manuka Oil sourced from New Zealand and assessed its effect on cultures of Trichophyton terrestre. They found that Manuka Oil significantly inhibited the growth of this fungus. Alnaimat and colleagues concluded that the significant antifungal activity of Manuka Oil could indicate its general activity in against dermatophytes (fungi that require keratin for growth).

Manuka Oil has long been used to treat a wide range of skin conditions, including those associated with fungal infections. The science behind this natural essential oil is solid and there is a growing body of evidence supporting wider application of Manuka Oil as an alternative to chemical treatments. However, it is important that the source of Manuka Oil is carefully selected. Certain chemotypes have higher concentrations of the important compounds that fight fungal infections.

In New Zealand, native stands of Manuka forests in the East Cape of the North Island are renowned for their superior concentration of healing and protective compounds. However, this Manuka Oil is difficult to come by outside of New Zealand. A new company, Manuka Naturals, has been able to secure an exclusive trade agreement with a reputable supplier. As a result, high grade Manuka Oil is now available in the United States.

For people diagnosed with hair loss as a result of a dermatophyte infection, Manuka Naturals encourages patients to discuss the benefits of their Manuka 100% Pure Essential Oil with their hair specialist. This essential oil can be blended with shampoos to naturally treat fungal infections and may provide a suitable alternative to chemical treatments. Manuka 100% Pure Essential Oil is currently available on Amazon.com and can be shipped throughout America.
