Derived from the leaves and twigs of the Melaleuca leucadendron var. cajuputi tree, Cajeput essential oil is a refreshing and invigorating oil that shares similarities with Eucalyptus. The steam distillation process yields an oil that is rich in 1,8-cineole, a potent compound with antiviral properties.
This highly sought-after oil is known for its therapeutic benefits. It is particularly effective with bronchial problems, such as colds, flu, laryngitis, and asthma, and is believed to help those with arthritis, rheumatism, and tight muscles. Some sources even suggest that Cajeput oil can reduce symptoms of skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, as well as soothe the itch associated with insect bites.
