Manuka plays a key role in the New-Zealand ecosystem as a facilitating species, since this shrub facilitates the implantation and growth of other species to foster the regeneration of indigenous forest. Also named tea tree, this ancestral nutraceutical in the Maori pharmacopea is used by the healers as a topical application to soothe rashes, burns and fosters wound healing.
The manuka honey is a monofloral honey nicknamed the ʺchampagne of honeysʺ due to the short flowering period of the tree and its superior medicinal qualities. Indeed, this New-Zealand honey is said to exhibit antibacterial qualities higher than that of other honeys thanks to the presence of methylglyoxal.

Last but not least, its vitamins and minerals contribute to the revitalisation of capillary fibers for beautiful hair.
