Manuka is a nursery tree and often forms large areas that protect regenerating forest seedlings and form a refuge for native orchids and other small plants. Manuka wood is red in color, hard and durable. It has been used for fences, tool handles, and as firewood. Manuka was traditionally used by M<span>a<\/span>ori for a variety of ailments from urinary conditions, colds, sedation to skin disorders. Infusions and poultices were made from the leaves and inner bark and the capsules and seed sap were chewed. Early European migrants produced a tea from Manuka leaves (hence its name). Modern uses today focus on <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1330\">current<\/span> Applications for skin conditions, cosmetic, fungal and anti-topical.<span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"856\">histamine<\/span> use. However, the variability in Manuka essential oils suggests caution in their use, as does the fact that the oils have not been tested for <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1160\">toxicity<\/span>.
