OUR CERTIFICATIONS

Overview

Cajeput essential oil is steam-distilled from the fresh leaves and twigs of the Melaleuca cajuputi tree. Its primary active compound is cineole (eucalyptol), which gives it its strong, penetrating, medicinal aroma and its powerful expectorant and decongestant effects.

Cajeput is a powerful respiratory and analgesic oil. A close relative of Tea Tree and Eucalyptus, it is used to clear congestion, relieve coughs, and soothe sore throats. It is a potent antiseptic and is excellent for clearing the head during a cold or flu. It also has pain-relieving properties, making it useful in massage blends for arthritis and muscle aches.

For Steam Inhalation: Add a few drops of Cajeput oil to a bowl of hot water. Cover your head with a towel and inhale the steam deeply to help clear sinus and chest congestion.
For a Pain-Relief Rub: Dilute several drops in a SUPHERB® carrier oil and massage into sore joints or aching muscles for a warming, pain-relieving effect.
