Blending
Cajeput has a fresh, herbal fragrance, characteristic of the camphor family. Its scent is bold and cooling, with a green, invigorating quality reminiscent of eucalyptus and peppermint, followed by a subtle woody undertone. It is often used to add a fresh accent to fragrance blends; however, due to its sharp and strong nature, careful control is required to prevent it from overpowering other scents.
Aromatherapy
Cajeput essential oil is renowned for its effectiveness in supporting the treatment of respiratory issues such as coughs, nasal congestion, colds, sinus infections, and helping to expel phlegm. It is also commonly used as a massage oil to relieve muscle and joint pain caused by overexertion. The scent of cajeput can also help ease stress-induced tension and discomfort. Additionally, it has natural antibacterial properties, making it useful for treating acne, reducing skin inflammation, healing insect bites, and other skin conditions.

Many essential oils need to be diluted before being applied to the skin; otherwise, their high concentration may cause irritation.
Can pregnant women use essential oils?

What is the difference between natural essential oils and synthetic fragrances?
