Cajeput essential oil is a warming, camphorous oil that wears many hats. This oil is steam distilled from the twigs and leaves of the cajeput tree and the paperbark tree. Cajeput oil has many health benefits, it can be used as a pain reliever and a natural way to treat respiratory systems in distress.
Native to Australia, Malaysia, and Indonesia, this essential oil is often compared to tee tree oil. The Cajuput tree is in the same family as the tee tree- melaleuca. Tea tree oils are extracted from Melaleuca alternifolia while cajeput is from Melaleuca Cajuputi or Melaleuca Leucadendra ( var. cajuputi). Both oils do share some similar qualities, a camphor aroma for one, however, cajeput oil has its own unique set of benefits and uses.
