Expanded Overview:

Cajeput belongs to the same botanical family as tea tree, eucalyptus and niaouli, and shares their characteristically fresh, cleansing aroma. In aromatherapy it is traditionally chosen to support a feeling of clear breathing and to bring a warming, invigorating note to massage and diffuser blends.
