Cajeput Essential Oil

Cajeput essential oil, extracted from the leaves and twigs of the Melaleuca cajuputi tree through steam distillation, is known for its crisp, camphoraceous aroma and powerful therapeutic properties. Closely related to Tea Tree and Eucalyptus, Cajeput is valued in traditional wellness systems for its antiseptic, pain-relieving, and expectorant benefits.

Highly effective in respiratory and immune support, Cajeput oil is often used in inhalation therapies to ease colds, bronchitis, and throat infections. It is equally useful in topical applications—when diluted—for treating minor cuts, bites, muscle pain, fungal infections, and acne. Cajeput oil is also known to ease muscle tension, especially when massaged around the voice box to support vocal clarity and relieve soreness. Additionally, it helps boost mental clarity and focus when used in aromatherapy.
