Our advice and expert opinions in pharmacy
Endemic to New Zealand, manuka is a shrub that can grow up to three meters tall at altitudes of up to 1,400 meters. It blooms for around 6 weeks, and is covered with highly fragrant, honey-bearing white flowers. A cousin of the tea tree, manuka is a very hardy plant, capable of withstanding both drought and frost. Above all, it is regarded as one of the most interesting pioneer plants, capable of helping devastated or severely deforested land to generate new vegetation: manuka protects the young shoots of all other species.
