Steam distilled from the leaves and buds of the cajeput tree, cajeput essential oil has a warm, penetrating aroma that is great for decongesting the mind and body. The Cajeput tree, or Melaleuca cajuputi, is native to eastern Australia, Myanmar (Burma), New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and the East Indies. As a member of the Melaleuca family, this lesser-known essential oil has some of the benefits of both Eucalyptus and Tea Tree Oil, however, it has a lighter, crisper scent that is fresh and fruity, with slightly medicinal undertones. A must-have in your essential oil kit, particularly during the cold and flu season, Cajeput has natural antibacterial properties. It simultaneously helps to clear the mind and improve focus, making it a great oil to diffuse while studying and working.
