New Research Into Manuka Oil Identifies Anti-Photoaging Activity That May Revolutionize Skin Care

Medicine Hunter Describes What Manuka Oil Is

(LosAngeles.CityRegions.Com, May 07, 2015 ) Glendale, CA -- Manuka trees are indigenous to New Zealand and for centuries this essential oil has been used in traditional remedies to treat fever, wounds, pain, and problem skin. Well-known for its potent anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral properties, this natural oil is gaining global recognition as a multipurpose treatment for a wide range of aliments. However until recently, very little was known about its bioactivity. Now researchers in Korea have revealed that this Manuka Oil also has powerful anti-aging properties.

The primary environmental factor that causes skin damage is exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This results in premature aging in the form of sun spots, wrinkles, fine line formation, and other imperfections. Korean scientists recently published a paper in volume 2013 of the Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine journal that evaluated the effects of Manuka Oil on photoaging in UV-B-irradiated hairless mice.

Researchers found that UV-B induced wrinkling and skin aging decreased in association with the topical application of Manuka Oil. Kwon and colleagues documented that the application Manuka Oil concentrated at 10% resulted in a decline in the average depth, length and percentage of areas affected by wrinkles. These finding correlated with a reduction in epidermal hyperplasia and loss of collagen fiber content of the skin.

In addition, this study also found that inflammation of the skin caused by UV-B exposure could be significantly reduced when Manuka Oil was applied. This essential oil helps to inhibit the synthesis of inflammatory cytokines, effectively soothing the skin. Researchers concluded that Manuka Oil does possess potent anti-aging activity and may have far reaching applications in protective skin care.

Already available in the United States, Manuka Naturals premium grade Manuka 100% Pure Essential Oil is being used to support healthy skin. This new research suggests that this product may also be highly beneficial for people wanting to safeguard their skin from damaging UV exposure. Manuka 100% Pure Essential Oil can be purchased on Amazon.com and shipped throughout America.
