Evening sun on Manuka trees. . Manuka is abundant throughout New Zealand. Captain Cook used this plant to make tea, as he liked the bitter taste, hence its other common name of Tea-tree. Medicinal uses have been known for over 1000 years.An infusion of the bark was used externally and internally as a sedative. It was also used for scalds and burns. The ash from the bark was rubbed onto the skin to treat skin diseases, and vapour from leaves boiled in water was used for colds. . . .Recent research has proved many of these remedies, and tea tree oil is widely valued. . .
