Cajeput - 10ml

Cajeput, steam-distilled from the fresh leaves and twigs of the Melaleuca cajuputi tree, is a vibrant, camphoraceous oil native to Southeast Asia and closely related to Tea Tree and Niaouli. Known for its powerful medicinal aroma - similar to Eucalyptus but slightly sweeter - Cajeput is a potent ally in respiratory care and immune support.

Highly valued for its antiseptic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties, Cajeput is often used in massage blends to ease muscular aches, joint stiffness, and neuralgia. Inhaled or diffused, it helps clear sinus congestion, soothe sore throats, and reduce the discomfort of colds, flu, and headaches. Its warming and stimulating nature also makes it a beneficial oil for increasing circulation and relieving fatigue.

Cajeput is emotionally uplifting and clarifying, helping to dispel mental fog, energize the spirit, and improve focus. In skincare, it can be used (diluted) to treat blemishes, oily skin, and minor wounds due to its antimicrobial action.

A versatile middle note, Cajeput blends beautifully with other camphoraceous, citrus, and herbaceous oils to create invigorating and restorative blends.
