How to use Cajeput Essential Oil
Aromatherapy
The refreshing sweetness of cajeput is a great alternative to eucalyptus or tea tree, and it can be equally powerful in removing mucus from the respiratory tract and allowing for easier breathing.
Its stimulating nature is also great for shaking off the sluggishness that comes with cold and flu symptoms, so adding a few drops to your diffuser while your feeling unwell can be a great way to reawaken your energy levels.
If you’re struggling from insects flying around your home, particularly in the summertime, cajeput may be able to deter these unwanted guests while keeping a cooling, welcoming freshness in the air.
Bath
If you’re really feeling bunged up, taking a hot bath using cajeput essential oil can be doubly impactful for clearing your sinuses, as the steam can carry the oil more easily into your airways as well as provide its own levels of decongestion.
Skincare
Since cajeput is a known antiseptic and antibacterial oil, its benefits in skincare are second to none if you’re looking for a natural alternative to commercial cleansers.
This is particularly true if you have any redness or irritation on the skin as a result of acne or other common abrasions, as cajeput’s anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe and heal these areas overtime.
Make sure to always dilute your cajeput with a carrier oil before use and perform a patch test.
Haircare
Some sources claim that the skin-cleansing elements of cajeput can lend themselves to haircare as well, though research is still limited.
Applying a few drops of cajeput oil to your hair with a carrier oil or adding it into your regular shampoo or conditioner can help keep the scalp healthy and possibly improve hair growth.
Insect repellent
Keep pests out of your home by creating an effective bug spray using cajeput essential oil, water, and an emulsifier – like dish soap.
Spray regions where pests are most prominent or use during the summer seasons for a chemical-free repellent.
