Cajuput is a versatile antiseptic and clearing essential oil that can also be used effectively as an inhalant during the cold season. Cajuput essential oil has a fresh, camphoraceous-medicinal aroma with a fruity body note and is very similar to eucalyptus, but softer with a hint of herb.

Cajuput originates from Vietnam and is extracted by steam distillation of the fresh leaves and twigs. Cajuput essential oil is a member of the Myrtacaea family. It is also known as m. minor, cajeput, white tea tree, white wood, swamp tea tree, punk tree and paperbark tree. It blends well with bergamot, cypress, juniperberry, lemon, pine and rosemary.

Safety: Cajuput essential oil may cause skin irritation in some individuals.
