Manuka oil conquers deadly MRSA bacteria where conventional medicine fails


(NaturalNews) With life threatening instances of methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections on the rise, many are seeking
safe and effective alternatives in the realm of natural medicine. Manuka
oil is a shinning example. Reports of healing attributed to the oil are
becoming more commonplace - oftentimes in cases where patients have
suffered from MRSA boils, lesions and open wounds that did not respond
to antibiotic treatments. Extracted from the leaves and branches of the L. scoparium
manuka tree native to New Zealand, this essential oil not only conquers
deadly bacterial infections, but also relieves a host of other ailments
- from anxiety to eczema. As a potent healer, manuka oil is making its
mark as a remedy far more effective than conventional medical care.

Dangers of MRSA

Traditionally,
staph infections have been treated with methicillin, but have since
become largely immune to the antibiotic with the emergence of the MRSA
strain. This creates a dangerous situation as the infection can easily
rage out of control, especially for individuals with compromised immune
systems. The MRSA bacteria can migrate from the skin to the muscles,
bones, heart and brain - increasing the risk of death. Even individuals
with healthy immune systems can become infected with the bacteria.

Dramatic recovery

Stories
abound regarding the outstanding healing abilities of manuka oil,
particularly with MRSA. One such example illustrates how the oil saved a
man from amputation when conventional medicine failed. As reported in
the Gaia Health article, "Manuka Honey and Oil: Antibiotic Action So Powerful It Beats MRSA":

"My
friend's husband - we'll call him Jeffrey - had contracted a case of
MRSA. All the medical establishment's treatments were for naught. The
point had arisen that he was told his leg had to be amputated to save
his life, but ending his career as a rehabilitation swimming coach.

My friend refused to accept that sentence. She insisted on trying manuka oil.
She applied it directly to Jeffrey's wound. Within a day, it became
apparent that it was healing. The result was complete healing - and
Jeffrey has been back at work for the last year."

The oil form of
manuka is not as well known as the honey, but it's beginning to gain
recognition as an even more powerful defense against the ravages of
MRSA. The essential oil
can be used undiluted topically or internally. The therapeutic
components include: alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, myrcene, para-cymene,
1,8-cineole, linalool, methylcinnamate, alpha-farnesine,
isoleptospermone, leptospermone, sesquiterpenes (cadina-3,5-diene and
delta-amorphene), triketones. It exhibits cytophylactic (cell
regeneration) and cictrizant (antimicrobial, tissue repair) actions.

Other applications

Long used by the Maori of New Zealand, manuka oil has a variety of uses beyond the treatment of MRSA, including:

- Eczema

- Fungal infections

- Inflammation

- Asthma

- Insect bites and stings

- Allergies

- Rashes and sores

- Burns

- Dandruff

The oil is also helpful for anxiety. According to Gaia Health,
"It is known to interact with GABA-A receptors, the same ones that
benzodiazepines, such as Valium (diazepam), do. No experiments have been
done on this aspect, and it appears that medicine considers it to be an
adverse reaction - though, of course, it's considered the beneficial
effect of Valium!"
